I have no faith at all we score more then 1 run, let alone win, but fuck you. Tigers will win 1-0!

Don't worry. Home Run Baker will give up a dinger or three.

That is a rather dubious nickname.

Miggy just made Baker his wife.

Too soon?

Tigs come up empty with 1 out and a runner on third. You don't say?

do road teams ever win these 1-game playoffs?

Porcello meltdown impending.

Couldn't be more fitting.

Tigers up 1-0.

RG - What time is the game tomorrow? It's an afternoon one right?

The ump is going to give Miggy a breathalyzer to make sure he can legally round the bags.

Who was saying 'Home Run Baker'?

Tigers up 3-0. "Home Run Baker" gives up a dinger to Drunkor Cabrera.

That pitch must have been loaded.

Miggy is unleashing the rage. He's taking everything that has happened to him over the last 48 hours or so and unleashing hell. This is what I wanted to see.

You want people in Detroit to move on from all of this, you hit that ball like it was a 300 lbs 15 year old.

My buddy who is a cop said when Miggy played that game the night after being arrested, his BAC would have been .08. That's impressive that he even suited up while being too drunk to legally drive a car in Michigan.

:lol:

And you just hit one further then Miggy did.

Huge stop by Inge there. Didn't get the out but that was a double without that play.

Also, was it necessary for Craig Sager to be at this game in his terrible purple blazer?

Who the hell is Craig Sager?

Think the Don Cherry of the NBA, without being entertaining.

"Typical Twins player" is slang for a middle infielder that can't hit for shit.

Huge job by Porcello getting out of that with just the 1 run.

I'm so nervous, I'm Tivoing it and watching it in spurts.....

Hate bringing in Miner here. Ugh. Hopefully this pays off.

And now the bases are loaded. Just an awful decision to bring Miner in here. And yes I know that was a bloop single but Leyland had that OF at no doubles depth in the 6th inning which makes no sense.

WHEW!

dola...

It's good to see Cabrera get his first hit since Saturday morning!

That's 3 dandies on this page alone.

:(

Yowza

KA-BOOM!

Does Leyland keep his job after this season?

Been a while that I've been able to watch a meaningful game, being a Mets fan and all, but this game reminds me that baseball is the best game out there.

Jim Leyland continues to be the most overrated manager in baseball. How you let Miner stay in is beyond me. I cannot wait for him to be gone.

Baseball should expand by one wild card in each league and have the two wild cards play each other the day after the regular season ends for the right to take the #1 seed, regardless of division.

I'll take it one further. Leyland's handling of his bullpen and his bench since the rosters expanded is as bad as anyone could do. This is what happens when a manager manages by his "feel". Just amazing. Even if the Tigs come back to win this, it won't matter as long as he is in charge. Unreal he got an extension during the season.

Quick response from the Tigers there.

Wow, Magglio apparently gave up his pursuit of the most singles ever in a season for that HR.

You're right, Detox - Leyland sucks and should be let go, even if the Tigers win this game.

Someone tell Raburn to stick his damned tongue back in his mouth, because he looks ridiculous.

WOOOO... CURTIS!

booooooooooooyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a generous call at first glance at first.

holy hell.

That hurt.

Heck of a game, though. Heck of a game.

inexcusable to be doubled off first there.

Curtis Granderson is a mockery now. That is baserunning 101. How the fuck you get that far off of 1st on a line drive is amazing.

Runners on the corners, no out and we don't score.

Not to sandbag but you tip your cap and look forward to Spring Training.

What a turn of events.

Looked safe at first glance here as well. But indeed out.

Just get someone to 2nd before Mauer gets up pls

I'd love to never hear about "Twins baseball" again. They just play baseball. Every team does it. Thankfully for them, Detroit plays it but isn't very good at it.

fantastic at bat

lol

Pretty much every person I know is sick of hearing that crap as well.

I love that our pen has let Punto on base both his last AB's. He is a terrible fucking hitter and they kept trying to paint the corners. Attack him with junk and he'll get himself out more often then not.

Just amazing.

At least they aren't forcing our pitchers to field the ball.

I'd rather here about Twins baseball than about the Yankees and Red Sox.

Granderson baseball IQ = 0

And here comes Rodney who is absolutely terrible in non save situations. I going to hazard a guess that he is totally wild pitching to Cabrera, walking him on 5 pitches, then serves up a walk off single to Mauer.

And Inge saves Rodney's ass.

Fuck you, Brandon Inge!

Ugh, I can just see this now. Carlos Gomez and his stupid hair cut bleeding a single in and winning it for the Twins.

Thank God the drunk was moved to first.

Carlos Gomez? Oh shit.

Free baseball time.

The Tigs help me live on to sandbag on FOFC another inning.

Christ Miggy, it's only 7:39 cst, you can't wait another hour to get to the bar?

This is exactly what a Yankee fan I work with wanted... extra innings. "Use up them pitchers so it makes it easy for us."

Bet Aubrey Huff is glad he's not in Baltimore.

The Twins will get swept no matter what.

Bet Detroit isn't glad he is in Detroit.

:)

Nice running by Kelly.

Next up for the Twins:

Shit, shit, and shit

Didn't know we could trade players during the game.

Welp. Will this be the last baseball game for the Metrodome? We shall soon know.

Cuddyer will swing at anything.

oh shit!

Raburn?

Sick burn.

How the hell do you dive for that if you're Raburn, and how do back that up as terribly as Grandy did?

Edited to place blame on the real culprit.

Rayburn did his Ordonez impression there, dammit.

What in the hell is in Leyland's back pocket?

I want the squeeze!

Who is Matt Tolbert, and why is he batting in a season ending situation?

Metamucil.

Oh my.

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

:cool:

You gotta lay out for that.

He's just a man who plays Twins Baseball.

Karlifornia, please shut the fuck up. Thank you.

edit: Either that, or question the Tigers please.

nutty

Hell at this point I'd almost rather face Mauer then Punto.

Detox is editing his posts more than jbmagic.

Rodney needs the K real bad.

"It was out of my reach. What do you want me to do, dive for it?"

Take one for the team, you Italian bitch!

My anger is making me do very bad things.

HOLY SHIT!
