Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Game Over, Man: Blue Jays 4, Tigers 3

I probably could've posted this weeks ago, but this is what was going through my mind when Vernon Wells hit a bomb over the left field fence for a grand slam.  This clip just seems to capture the season so well.  (Pardon the blood and swearing.  Not safe for work, I suppose, if that's when you're watching this.)

Oh, sure - the Tigers actually made things interesting in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out, two-run double by Edgar Renteria.  But did you even stick around to see that after Kenny Rogers served up that grand slam?  And that's not even mentioning the 49-minute rain delay, which just seemed cruel.  At least the stoppage didn't go late into the night with a matinee tomorrow afternoon.

Ultimately, however, the ninth-inning comeback just added some pain to what was going to be a numbing evening.  Twist of the knife, as Longview said in tonight's GameThread.

I’m glad you didn’t sit out that rain delay, at least.
