We’re here now and pregame interview sessions are under way. Jim Leyland is mixing it up against the lefty (Randy Johnson). Tonight’s Tiger lineup he just announced here in the media interview room:

1. Placido Polanco
2. Craig Monroe
3. Marcus Thames
4. Magglio Ordonez
5. Carlos Guillen
6. Pudge Rodriguez
7. Sean Casey
8. Brandon Inge
9. Curtis Granderson

Leyland also said, when asked what it meant to Tiger fans that the series came back here 1-1 instead of 2-0 down: "If we’d come here 0-2, I think they would have had a good time, but probably wouldn’t think we can win the series in their heart." Then he added that now they obviously do.

Jeremy Bonderman will start Game 4 for the Tigers. He paid Yankee fans a compliment when asked what it has been like to take everything in during this series. "When we were in New York, the crowd there was phenomenal," he said. "They’re on their feet 90 percent of the game."

Here is video I shot with the Canon Powershot A540 during the pregame interview session with Jaret Wright, the Yankees’ scheduled Game 4 starter. People want to know what he thinks of A-Rod. Obviously many people do back in NYC. Don’t mind the shaking, remember that 99 out of 100 reporters here aren’t also holding a camera, trying something new.
