Just trying to figure out a good way to shoot low-light (I was at ISO 2000 and didn't want to go higher than that) without the blur.

The answer isn't a tripod, it's better glass. Unfortunately better = much more expensive. I shoot between 1/8 sec. and 1/20 sec (handheld) available light with lenses that are f2.0 across the entire zoom at ISO 800. The drawback is that the lenses were $2000 each. You're always gonna get some blur whenever there is motion and your shutter is that slow.
