Have you ever wondered what an outrageous SEMA show car looks like the week before the big show? We're going to show you! Check out these awesome photos as Bryan Fuller's expert team at Fuller Hot Rods pull together years of hard work. The Thundertaker has been a mainstay at the Fuller shop for some time but with SEMA 2012 show looming it is time for this ride to rise from the dead!
Photos courtesy of Fuller Hot Rods and the author.
The artistic rendering.
Where it all started. A little rough around the edges.
Stripped and braced. The bracing helps maintain squareness while the body work begins.
Just a little rust, but overall not too bad.
Back from being stripped and blasted.
Some of the body rot is visible on the quarters.
Huge by long boxed custom Art Morrison chassis. Notice the exhaust pipe routing through the frame.
The body meets the frame for the first time.
Starting to get an idea of just how big this thing is!
Finally a glimpse of what is to come.
Custom floors of course.
There wasn't a single panel left untouched by Fuller's metal working team.
Cut, weld, grind. Repeat.
When you want to lay this low you need to tuck everyething under the car. Here is a great view of the exhaust pipe routing tunnels and the driveshaft tunnel.
Paint is on! Those quarters are arrow straight.
Time to start the final assembly.
Two tone horns will signal the Thundertaker's arrival.
Fuller's shop is equipped to handle even the most delicate modifications.
The door are flawless.
Here's Bryan Fuller himself working hard on the door internal mechanicals.
The guys pulling hundreds of feet of wiring.
A better view of the quarters.
The exhaust exits through the bumper end caps. Trick and slick!
Two of the four batteries on board!
One of two air tanks for the air ride suspension and another battery.
This beast will stop on a dime thanks to the Wilwood brakes.
A great view of the rear axle and suspension. Wires seem to be EVERYWHERE on this car.
Just a little wiring to finish up. This is the dash by the way.
One cool feature is the rollup privacy panel, like you find on a limo.
The stand alone rear compartment A/C unit.
This monster is powered by a fuel injected big block.
Fuller was inspired by the Cadillac 16 show car for the Thundertaker's valve covers.
See that big hole in the roof?
This sunroof goes there.
Quite possible the longest sliding sunroof on a car. The jury is still out though.
The interior is coming together.
One of Fuller's guys puts on a the plastic seat cover. Yes, those old school seat covers your grandmother had on her couch.
The privacy partition is almost done.
The massive front bumper sitting upside down, waiting for installation.
The Thundertaker made it to SEMA!

Thundertaker: How Hot Rods Save Lives
Thundertaker is a 1960 Cadillac Hearse that Bryan Fuller of Fuller Hot Rods and his crew brought back from the brink of death.

Ann Arbor -- There's no place to hide, not this season. In Big Ten basketball, reality slaps are delivered weekly, and seldom weakly.
Michigan is scrapping to bounce back, the unsteadiness still evident in a 79-71 slog past Penn State on Sunday. The Wolverines' weaknesses were revealed last week, especially on defense, and therein lies the challenge for Big Ten contenders.
If you have a soft spot, it will be found. Michigan State hammered that nasty lesson, and if you think Tom Izzo had his fellas ready for the Wolverines, imagine the tempest for former assistant Tom Crean and the No. 1 Hoosiers. The conference's next big showdown comes Tuesday night in the Breslin Center, and only in the fearsome Big Ten can championship runs become tests of manhood.
Center Derrick Nix, who recently protested a perceived lack of respect for the Spartans, already has declared it'll be "a bloodbath" against the Hoosiers. The winner takes control of the race and a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, although Indiana would be severely hampered if star Victor Oladipo is slowed (or sidelined) by an ankle injury suffered Saturday. In a game in which bodies will bang, any weakness will be exposed.
That's what the Spartans did to the Wolverines in last week's 75-52 bashing, which left a mark. It kept Michigan State (22-4, 11-2 Big Ten) in a tie atop the Big Ten with Indiana (23-3, 11-2), while Michigan (22-4, 9-4) spent the past five days checking for welts.
Playing with the big kids
In a painful way, the Spartans might have done the Wolverines a favor, showing how much better their inside game must get. Jordan Morgan is still hobbled by a sore ankle, and it's time for him to sit and let the injury heal.
Michigan's trio of Morgan, Mitch McGary and Jon Horford combined for zero points (!) and six rebounds against Penn State, which was 0-12 in the conference but slipped inside way too easily. Only Trey Burke's brilliance — 29 points, 0 turnovers — averted a devastating upset for the Wolverines, who get a week off to rest and reassess.
"It's been a major emphasis for us, just realizing this is big-boy basketball and you're gonna get hit, you're gonna get shoved a little bit and you have to play through it," John Beilein said.
"We pride ourselves on being teachers, but there were some moments the last couple weeks where we just said, 'Enough is enough. We're gonna do this because you won't do that.' You don't want them to lose their confidence, but at the same time, getting tougher is important for us."
You grow up in a hurry in the Big Ten, and yes, the young Wolverines are still in the race. Their schedule gets more manageable, with four of the final six at home, including Michigan State and Indiana.
Michigan State's schedule is about to heat up, with the next four — Indiana, at Ohio State, at Michigan, Wisconsin — a defining stretch. Crean is very familiar with Izzo's style, and I doubt the Hoosiers will be surprised by big-boy basketball.
"It's gonna take everything we've got," Izzo said after Michigan State dispatched Nebraska. "I'm not trying to make it like David and Goliath, because it's not. But Indiana is the No. 1 team in the country."
Trouble at the top
Michigan was No. 1 for a week and didn't handle it very well. Rankings don't mean much, but that solitary number means something — for what it says about a team and how it stirs the opposition.
The Wolverines talked Sunday as if their eyes were now open, and the past few practices were all about one thing.
"It was just defense," said Glenn Robinson III, who rebounded with 21 points. "We said, forget about our offense for a minute and just execute our defense. Our transition offense is the best part of our game, and if we get stops, we can get out and run."
I'm sure the Wolverines won't be sending the Spartans any thank-you notes for the message, but grappling with adversity is how teams get better. That's why Izzo loves brutal non-conference schedules, knowing a lesson is more important than a loss. Michigan was 16-0 before it lost at Ohio State. Then came the crushing overtime loss at Wisconsin and the pounding at Michigan State, which could shake any team's confidence.
Right now, all we know for sure about Michigan and Michigan State is that both are capable of being very good when hitting their strengths. The Wolverines have excellent shooters. The Spartans have a great big-man trio of Nix, Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson.
The Wolverines might have peaked a bit early, while the Spartans appear to be peaking now. Nix said Michigan State felt overlooked, and there's nothing wrong with carrying that chip. In college basketball's toughest conference, the road from underdog to favorite — and back again — is well-traveled. Losing your way during a long season is inevitable. Finding your way back is the test that defines.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Latest Reviews
A musician of unusual refinement and imagination, Lisiecki eschews the razzle-dazzle of the barnstorming virtuoso for a more soft-spoken brand of pianism. His account of the Études is distinguished by a prevailing lyricism, and also by an intelligent understanding of the individual textures of each study. The famous "Black Key" étude (Op. 10, No. 5) sparkles in its dizzying right-hand arabesques ...
The Boston Globe, Aug 2013
... Where one might expect a youthful exuberance, a delight at taking the most formidable passages at breakneck speed, Lisiecki goes to the opposite extreme, emphasising the poetic and the tender. Even the Revolutionary (Op10, No.12) - a pianist's chance to unleash - is relatively restrained ... Lisiecki's special contribution is the way he balances and brings out the inner voices ...
His rubato, the rhythmic slowing of the pulse that is so critical in Chopin, is delicately judged and never overstated. His astonishing control allows the music to cascade in a sublime flow.
Most impressively, and maturely for an 18-year-old, he never falls into the trap of sentimentalising Chopin.
Barney Zwartz smh.com.au, Aug 2013
Jan Lisiecki Wins 2013 Leonard Bernstein Award
© Ben Wolf / DG
The Deutsche Grammophon exclusive recording artist Jan Lisiecki received the prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award for 2013 at a ceremony held 16 August in Lübeck, Germany during the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival. The Bernstein Award is given to young musicians for outstanding achievements in classical music and chosen by an illustrious international jury.
On hand to present the award to the 18-year-old Canadian pianist were jury members Rolf Beck, Director of the festival, and Leonard Bernstein's children, Jamie Bernstein Thomas and Alexander Bernstein. "I think my father would have loved the way you interpret Mozart with such deep feeling," said Bernstein's daughter Jamie at the awards presentation. Lisiecki performed Mozart's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in D minor with the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra under the direction of Lawrence Foster at the awards ceremony. The concerto is one of two Mozart pieces on his first DG release.
At the age of just 16 Jan Lisiecki was signed to the Yellow Label. Earlier this year DG released his second CD, Chopin Études: "Exactly one month after his 18th birthday, Calgary-born pianist Jan Lisiecki boldly declares his membership in the company of grown-up artists with this excellent recording . . . all 24 Études have emerged elegantly formed, ready for prime time. Particularly powerfully rendered by Lisiecki are the later, Op. 25 Études, to which he gives goosebump-inducing dramatic depth. What a way to turn 18." – Toronto Star, April 2013

Some experience required, experience mandatory, two years prior experience desired, sound familiar? Many of us have seen experience requirements on job postings time and time again. This can make it more difficult in today's economy to find work without work experience. But how do individuals get experience if they are not hired for not having any?
Ohio Technical College (OTC) has the solution to this problem and offers the best of both worlds. This 18 month college offers hands-on training for Automotive, Diesel Equipment Collision Repair, Classic Car Restoration, High Performance and Racing, Welding and Powersport equipment training at the PowerSport Institute. "Students learn from experienced instructors and gain the tools, knowledge and experience needed to learn a trait and obtain a great career in this experience demanding economy", said Pat Downey, director of custom paint and graphics at Ohio Technical College.
One particular skill that OTC offers its students to learn is Pinstriping. Pinstriping has been around for many years, and is a hard trait to learn without someone teaching prospective pinstripers the 'ins' and 'outs' of the process. At OTC, pinstriping is part of the Custom Paint and Graphics program, in which students spend 2-weeks with a brush in their hand and learn how to pull lines, curves and designs.
Fay Pivoda, instructor for the Custom Paint and Graphics program at OTC said, "Learning how to pinstripe is an art form and is not something that you learn overnight. In order to become a master pinstriper you must practice, practice, practice. Start out trying to do some straight lines and once that is mastered move into simple designs."
There are several things that he tells the pinstriping students right from the start:
- Ask questions
- Practice, Practice, Practice
- Take one thing at a time
- Watch other more experienced pinstripers in action
Key elements that are needed to start practicing are a good pinstriping brush like a Mack Series 10 Sword Striper brush - size 00, 1-shot paint, odorless mineral spirits, brush oil, a palette, practice surface, drill sheets, stir sticks, paper towels and razor blades.
To begin pinstriping you must do a few things first, oil the brush with straight motor oil, and rinse with mineral spirits.
Most often the brush will need trimmed slightly before it's used and can be done by flattening the oiled bristles of the brush on a firm surface and using a new single edged razor blade to trim off the tips of the longest bristles.
Holding the brush correctly is very important and affects the angle, pressure and ability to roll the brush in the pinstripers hand. Place the brush between the thumb and index finger above the green wrapping called the ferrule. The pinstripers other fingers work as a bridge/guide to maintain a consistent distance on the painting surface/panel.
Take a close look at the brush, there is a flat side and a curved side, the flat side faces left and insures that the "sword" of the bristles is formed properly with the longer bristles at the top and the shorter at the bottom.
Now that the brush is in the correct position it is time to paint. There are a few different brands of striping paints available but for this demonstration a 1-shot brand lettering enamel is used. The paints need to be constantly thinned or reduced for efficient flow from the brush. A 1-shot reducer or turpentine is dispersed from either a small squirt bottle or small open container. Next you need something to pallet the brush and paint, a magazine, phone book or plastic lids work great.
Paletting is a three function process:
- Add a drop or two of the reducer into the paint and mix
- Thoroughly saturate the brush bristles with reduced paint
- Shape the bristle load of reduced paint
Note: Proper palleting is half the battle in pinstriping, approaching the surface with a properly loaded brush makes for a nice line.
To begin pulling lines, hold the loaded brush in the proper position, and begin by pulling lines from the top to bottom or north to south. Try to pull the entire hand/wrist/arm as a single structure without moving them. The brush needs to remain at a constant position to the surface/panel; any variances will be seen in the line.
A fun and easy exercise is to pull two lines next to each other and then try to duplicate the space between them with every next line.
Practice, practice, practice, and more practice is needed, thousands of lines drawn achieve the consistency and muscle memory required to move on to more advanced lines. Other practice strokes include: left to right straight lines, right to left straight lines and all directional curve lines.
A few variables to keep in mind while practicing the lines are as follows:
- Paint consistently; this will directly affect your line quality and is something to strive for in pinstiping.
- Temperature will alter the amount of reducer needed, hotter days require more reducer.
- Speed of brush movement, how fast you pull the brush across your surface will have a direct effect in the line quality.
- Pressure applied to the brush, the pressure will help determine the thickness of the line. Very little pressure will result in a thin line while a lot of pressure will result in a much thicker line.
Besides having pinstriping as a part of the Ohio Technical College Custom Painting and Graphics program, the college offers occasional weekend workshops on pinstriping. Call 1.800.322.7000 or visit www.ohiotech.edu to register or for more information on these classes.

The beaches along Santa Barbara's coast are the backdrop to some of the most beautiful homes in California. The protected waters of the Pacific house some of the best diving in the country and the plethora of life below the water's surface is equaled by the versatile lives of those that inhabit the Santa Barbara homes along the shore. Away from the white sands and sapphire waters of the coast, the valleys and foothills at the base of the Santa Ynez mountains unfold lush greenery with views that frame Santa Barbara region in all of its splendor. Residents know that exploring the full variety of Santa Barbara's natural wonders could take a lifetime.
Not only an ecological marvel, Santa Barbara real estate is a hodge podge of Mexican-era homes in Spanish Colonial and adobe styles. Santa Barbara began preserving its architectural history long before most of the cities in California and because of this, Santa Barbara's neighborhoods express their own personalities in their homes - from Craftsman style homes to the more elegant Victorian, Italianate, and Queen Anne architecture. Housing costs here are some of the highest in the nation, but the beauty of the region is unparalleled.
Those that are lucky enough to live in the Santa Barbara region already know the pleasures of spending the evening exploring the Tuesday night farmer's markets on State street while enjoying a McConnell's ice cream cone. Or window shopping through open-door galleries and tasting the local wines that are some of the best in the nation. Or having a quiet moment reading a book or dining al fresco under the Moreton Bay Fig Tree. The lifestyle makes the luxury of Santa Barbara real estate not only affordable, but desirable. Few cities can match the grace, allure and natural beauty of Santa Barbara.

Our in-house GM G-body is blessed with a powerful, modified engine – as well as an aftermarket radiator. However, it didn't take too many commutes in South Florida's brutal summer heat to uncover a serious flaw: the single cooling fan simply wasn't up to the task of cooling a built, A/C-equipped mill in high-heat, high-humidity commutes. While the radiator is much more efficient than the stock unit, the stock fan simply can't flow enough air in environments that routinely see 90-degree temps, and humidity readings over 80 percent.
More airflow was needed quick, so a call was placed to SPAL USA. For over 50 years, SPAL has provided high-performance fans to a host of OEMs, including such high-end makes as Ferrari. SPAL holds an ISO 9001 certification, and prides itself on producing high-quality components that will pass the test of time. So when its products started hitting the performance aftermarket industry, enthusiasts were thrilled.
For a huge cfm increase, we decided on a dual 11-inch fan setup for our overheating hot rod. SPAL was more than happy to discuss some of the technical and fitment questions we had, and soon, the fan assembly was at our doorstep. Cooler temps were just a few hours away – follow along to see how we did it.
1. Here is the factory fan setup. It is fine for a stock vehicle, but not so great for a modified car in Florida heat. Time to upgrade.
2. We started by removing the positive battery cable. Note that this cable is attached to an Optima battery that has been cranking for nearly 10 years!
3. This electric fan is retained with two bottom fan bolts in a bracket, as well as two top fan bracket bolts that are retained by the top radiator plate and some brackets. The two bottom and two top bolts are removed with a wrench.
4. Next, the top bracket bolts are removed.
5. The main fan harness toward the bottom of the fan is disconnected.
6. With a little massaging of the A/C lines, the factory fan is pulled up and out.
7. Replacing it is SPAL's Dual 11-inch Paddle Blade High Performance Fan (part No. 30102052). Weighing in at only 10.75 pounds, this puppy packs a punch.
8. An up-close look at the SPAL motors driving the fans. These SPAL units have an IP68 rating, so the motors are dust- and waterproof. Note the quality motor and wiring assembly.
9. Here is the stock single fan and the dual-fan SPAL– it only takes one look to see the size difference. The SPAL puts out a whopping 2,720 cfm!
10. Though the brackets will probably not line up based on the Spal's different mounting holes, they are bolted up for measurement purposes.
11. SPAL offers fan relay harnesses (part No. FRH) for its fans; however, a vehicle-specific piece from G-body specialist Casper's Electronics was used in this car. Casper's offers harnesses that are plug-and-play, and also utilize sealed connectors. This harness for running a SPAL dual-fan setup has two sealed, 30-amp relays to handle the power load, as well as a delay module that separates both fans' initial startup by about a second, lessening the shock to an electrical system only built for one fan.
12. For a clean installation, the two relays and the delay module were mounted in a flat location at the top of the fan assembly. Both fans will run in this car's computer-commanded, low- and high-speed fan settings.
13. The harness was then routed around the fan housing, and retained with a couple of black zip ties so it wouldn't stick out too much. Note the large, black connector at the bottom; in this location it will have more than enough slack to reach the factory fan plug. The red wire heading off to the right is the relay feed wire that connects to the battery.
14. As previously mentioned, our Optima RedTop battery has been fantastic for all these years. However, based on upgrades like this fan and possibly a stereo system, we'll be replacing it with – you guessed it – another Optima. Model D34/78 is a high-performance, dual-purpose YellowTop with premium cranking power and unparalleled rechargeability. This battery has 750 cold cranking amps, as well as 870 cranking amps. It offers low internal resistance, for more consistent power output and faster recharges. We have no doubts that this sucker will last awhile too!
15. With that big YellowTop in the engine bay, it's finally time to drop the SPAL fans in. The upper radiator hose is disconnected and the A/C lines are tweaked for clearance, as this setup is much wider. Then, the SPAL fans are carefully slid into place behind the radiator. Tip: use a piece of cardboard over the back of the rad to avoid gouging it when the fans are slipped in.
16. Casper's provides a spacer and elongated battery terminal bolt that work together to provide a mounting point for the fan relay feed wire. The wire is slipped into place and tightened down.
17. The radiator hose is reinstalled, and the main and two fan connections are made. Though the fans were bolted into place using some of the existing brackets, bolts, and a couple of zip ties, they will require a custom bracket for an OEM-quality fit. While that will happen after this issue goes to print, it didn't stop us from getting before and after coolant temp numbers. Result? The SPAL setup dropped operating temps by 25 degrees!
Our story illustrates the need for a fan upgrade due to increased coolant temps (thanks, Florida heat and humidity!). While not every vehicle would need a hard-part upgrade like this, every vehicle can benefit from a cooling additive like Royal Purple's Purple Ice. This is a synthetic radiator coolant additive that reduces engine heat by reducing the surface tension of the radiator fluid, improving heat transfer. Purple Ice also optimizes coolant flow by helping to prevent formation of scale deposits in the radiator, and it lubricates the water pump seals too.
To get to the bottom of that fancy wording, we tested Purple Ice on two vehicles with real-time scan tools: our G-body before the SPALs, and an LS1-powered 2002 F-body. We tested these cars in three situations: warmed up and idling for three minutes, at 55 miles an hour for 10 minutes, and in stop-and-go, 35-mph traffic for 10 minutes.
Needless to say, Purple Ice made a real difference in coolant temperatures. Besides the high, 210-degree G-body idle reading (with 160-degree thermostat, no less) that made it pretty clear that a fan upgrade was needed, Purple Ice consistently dropped both cars' coolant temps. With summer just around the corner, this is the best few bucks you can spend on your hot cruiser!

HENDERSON, Ky. (5/16/13) – A new coalition launched today to speak out in favor of fair and reasonable utility rates for western Kentucky electricity consumers. Fair Rates Kentucky mobilized after Big Rivers Electric Corp, which sells power to various co-operatives including Kenergy Corp, Jackson Purchase Energy Corporation and Meade County Rural Electric Co-Op., announced plans for a series of rate increases that could dramatically increase utility costs for residential customers, businesses, schools, hospitals and churches.
According to coalition organizers, Big Rivers proposed the massive rate increases after recently losing 70 percent of their consumer base per an agreement reached with local aluminum smelters. Instead of adequately adjusting their business model to meet the new demand, they have requested a $74.5 million base rate increase from the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC). This increase would be paid for by their rural western Kentucky customers.
Fair Rates Kentucky, jointly founded by Aleris, Domtar and Kimberly-Clark, all of whom have large investment and employee bases in the impacted area, is mounting a grassroots campaign to call attention to the proposed rate increases and make sure that the voices of western Kentucky utility consumers are heard.
"Big Rivers wants to keep operating most of the same power generation capacity and power plants whether there is demand or not," Kelly Thomas, senior vice president and general manager of Aleris Rolled Products North America. "This just simply isn't a viable option for Kentucky families and businesses already struggling in tough economic times."
According to Big Rivers, the first of several rate increases will be implemented as early as August 20, and will cost the average residential consumer nearly $300 more per year—a 23 percent rate increase for most of their customers. The next and potentially even larger increase is scheduled for early next year.
"If Big Rivers is allowed to pass along these planned rate increases this summer and early next year, then Kimberly-Clark's local power cost to operate our plant could nearly double," said Dan Lachmann, Mill Manager for Kimberly-Clark's Owensboro Mill. "Manufacturing is as competitive a business right now as it has ever been and this is not a realistic or sustainable approach to solving the underlying problems at Big Rivers."
The new coalition is asking those who oppose these rate increases to take action by signing a petition at www.FairRatesKY.com and by contacting Governor Steve Beshear and the Public Service Commission.
"We are simply asking Big Rivers to do what any other business would do when they are faced with market challenges—adapt without forcing their customers to pick up the tab," said Steve Henry, General Manager with Domtar's Hawesville facility. "You wouldn't pay for gas that isn't in your car's tank, nor would you pay for food you aren't going to eat, so why should schools, hospitals, churches, businesses, and residents pay for power plants we aren't going to use?"
Fair Rates Kentucky is a coalition of western Kentucky residential and business utility consumers who want to pay fair and reasonable rates for electricity. More information is available at www.FairRatesKY.com.

Boston � One moment, the Tigers were in sizzling command. The next moment, Boston was in bedlam, and the Tigers were in utter shock.
It only takes one swing, even on a night of so many swings and misses. Tigers pitchers were dominant until Red Sox slugger David Ortiz stepped to the plate and put an end to it, and kick-started the series in stunning fashion.
Ortiz�s grand slam in the eighth inning lifted the Red Sox to a 6-5 victory Saturday night that knotted the American Leauge Championship Series at 1. Jarrod Saltalamacchia won it with an RBI single in the ninth, and the Tigers will long lament the gem they let get away. Max Scherzer was brilliant, but the bullpen couldn�t hold a 5-1 lead. Joaquin Benoit surrendered the grand slam on his first pitch with two outs in the eighth, and then Rick Porcello couldn�t escape a jam in the ninth.
It was devastating for the Tigers and invigorating for the Red Sox, as the series heads back to Detroit. The Tigers showed they have the starting pitching to smother hitters, but in this game, they had nothing in the clutch. This is the scary specter of their bullpen, as three relievers preceded Benoit in the eighth, and you could see the pressure building.
How do the Tigers shake this off?
�For me, it�s already off,� Benoit said. �Nothing we can do about it right now. Game is over, we start fresh next time and we�re gonna be home. � I like to attack hitters, and it�s not the first time I faced him. Today was his day. See him next time.�
'Things like this happen'
Benoit made a huge mistake to one of the all-time clutch hitters, leaving a change-up too high in the strike zone, and Ortiz didn�t miss it. The way the Tigers were pitching, any lead seemed safe, but this is Fenway Park and Big Papi is a larger-than-life legend. He drove the pitch over the fence in right despite a leaping effort by Torii Hunter. The Tigers� right fielder tumbled head over heels and narrowly missed a fantastic catch, then landed over the fence.
Hunter returned to the game and later said he was sore but otherwise fine. And in the Tigers� quiet, cramped clubhouse, dazed players tried to explain what happened. The prevailing sentiment was to chalk it up to the vagaries of playoff baseball and the greatness of Ortiz. That won�t satisfy Tigers fans, but Big Papi has done stuff like this before.
No, Jim Leyland�s bullpen moves didn�t work this time, but there was nothing wrong with turning the game over to Benoit in the eighth. Lefty Phil Coke was warming up but hadn�t pitched in weeks. Leyland pulled Drew Smyly quickly, and I suppose that�s debatable. But there wasn�t much debate about the star of the game, who was in complete agreement with his manager.
Scherzer didn�t surrender a hit until two outs in the sixth, and struck out 13 in seven innings. He was at 108 pitches when he exited, and he wanted to make it clear, he was ready to exit.
�I was done,� Scherzer said. �You can write that � I was done. I could tell my arm was getting tired, and I was at the end of my line.�
The eighth inning was lined up the way Leyland wanted, and the lead was a healthy 5-1. So while many will replay it endlessly, Scherzer wasn�t interested in doing so.
�You play the game long enough, things like this happen,� Scherzer said. �I believe in everyone in here, all 25 guys in this clubhouse. We got (Justin) Verlander going next game and we believe we�re gonna win Game 3.�
'We let it get away'
The non-panic approach is the only sensible one, especially with the series 1-1 and the Tigers with more arms to unleash, starting with Verlander on Tuesday. For the third straight playoff game, a Tigers pitcher took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and that requires a moment of reflection. This is Fenway Park and these are the Red Sox, and going back to the series against the A�s, the Tigers threw 23 straight scoreless innings before the Red Sox hit a ball that mattered. Once they did, they hit a few that mattered more.
�It looked like we had one in hand and we let it get away, there�s no question about that,� Leyland said. �Scherzer was terrific. He was spent. (Saturday night) our bullpen was flawless, and tonight it just wasn�t quite as good.�
This was a waste of a great effort, beyond the squandering of a 5-0 lead. The Tigers� offense finally erupted, with Miguel Cabrera and Alex Avila slugging home runs and Victor Martinez continuing to scorch, and a 2-0 series lead was right there for the taking.
Game 2 began as if Game 1 never ended, with the crowd again lulled into silence. Where Anibal Sanchez left off, Scherzer picked up, and the Tigers were threatening to turn the Red Sox bats into sawdust. The Red Sox they kept swatting and missing, like chasing butterflies, right up until Ortiz swatted harder and chased history.
The bullpen remains the great uncertainty. Benoit�s collapse came one night after the relievers were excellent. Sanchez and four others no-hit the Red Sox into the ninth inning in the 1-0 victory in Game 1, and Scherzer was even nastier. The Tigers were defying the odds, until the Red Sox rolled the odds back in their favor.
It was a Beantown classic, a brutal finish for the Tigers, and a sobering reminder. Even after all those misses, one mighty swing can change everything.
