They go bottom 9 in Motown tied at 1. Twinkies squander a leadoff double by Casilla in the 9th, and bunt into a double play to end the inning (thinking it must have been a failed squeeze).

Former Wookie Jon Rauch now pitching for the Twins.

I kind of want the Tigers here for wearing better unis, and because their beleaguered city deserves a break, and because they seem to do better vs the MFYs, but I want the Twins to make it a race first and don't hate them expressly and wouldn't think it at all bad for their guy to get more attention as MVP vs. the misguided calls for Jeets.

Orlando Cabrera ("Winning player"--Mainstream Media) singles in the go-ahead run after a Span single and two wild pitches. Still batting, top 10th.

Me too.


This game has featured about a thousand LOBs and (perhaps not coincidently) a whole bushel of sac bunts.

Rooting for the Tigers , Twins never beat the MFY's

Nathan in Detroit on a mission to save the Twins' souls (see what I did there?) gives up a leadoff HR to Granderson in bottom 10.

Twins win 3-2. Tiger's lead down to 1 game.

Ron Gardenhire certainly belongs in "Manager of the Decade" conversations.

I'd prefer the Tigers essentially for reasons stated by others, but I hope the HomerDome patrons Sunday don't have their hearts broken on the final day the way fans at other ballparks shutting down in pennant race circumstances have.

Not thinking of any team, ballpark or set of fans in particular. Just generally speaking.

Gardenhire called for 4 sac bunts in the first game. Actually maybe more since those were only the ones that were successful. One of the ones that wasn't was his squeeze play into a DP in the 9th inning (bunt was popped up).
Tigers called for at least one too. I thought this was America League ball?!?
