Game 163: Tigers at Twins

Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, Oct 6, 2009 5:07 PM EDT
Rick Porcello (14-9, 4.04) vs. 
Scott Baker (15-9, 4.36), 5:07 p.m. EST
Writing this in the regular GameThread format doesn't quite feel right, does it? After all, this is hardly just another game on the schedule. But the number "163" is a pretty big indicator. The regular season just could not contain this AL Central race.
And so, just when you thought the Tigers were out of the Metrodome, a first-place tie pulls them back in. But isn't this the way it should be?
Sure, Detroit should've won the AL Central when it was fully in its grasp. Their stumble (along with the Twins' red-hot surge) has brought the season to this point. But every hero needs a villain. And to finish the story, the arch-enemy must be vanquished. Has there been any greater adversary to the Tigers this season than these pesky, never-say-die Minnesota Twins?
This is the stuff of mythology, man. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? How about doing what should've been done last Thursday at Comerica Park?
You know all about Scott Baker. You've seen him pitch against the Tigers enough now, including last Thursday. Never mind that Detroit's lineup once again played like squanderers. Baker held the Tigers to just one run over five innings, so it probably means he's going to do it again, right? Right? He's the Twins' best starting pitcher!
What? The Tigers' season comes down to their rookie starter? Hey, Rick Porcello isn't a rookie anymore. The kid has pitched in 30 major league games now. His shoulders are plenty strong for this. Kid Rick has been Detroit's second-best starting pitcher since late August. And he's not afraid of these Minnesota Twins. Just look at his last two starts against them.
Ryan Raburn is in the lineup today, starting in left field and batting sixth. Carlos Guillen is the designated hitter, while Ramon Santiago gets the nod at shortstop. And Denard Span's quote about the Tigers' choking is on the clubhouse wall:
"I don't want to say they've choked, but, yeah, they have choked," Span said. "They've choked a little bit, but they have the opportunity to not choke, I guess."
Twinkie Town has your SB Nation opposing view for this one-game tiebreaker for the AL Central championship.

"Denard Span" is the distance between the media and Brett Favre's testicles.
Sorry, but that’s too good to leave behind.

From Steve Phillips at ESPN:
This game has a chance to be very exciting despite the fact that the odds are stacked against the Tigers. But I look for Porcello and the Tigers to pull off the upset and win the AL Central title.

This is why I hate this goddamn country sometimes
Don’t get me wrong, I loves me the government healthcare and the whole “our flag isn’t burnt too often in demonstrations in foreign countries” and all, but…
Rogers Sportsnet, the equivalent of Fox Sports Net over here, is only showing the game in a few places in Canada, and NOT IN ONTARIO. Can you fucking believe this? A Tiger fan in WINDSOR GODDAMN ONTARIO can’t watch this game unless they fork out a mint for a satellite dish or digital cable.
You better believed I called Customer Relations and left… well, in my polite Canadian way, I was rather curt but kept it far short of yelling.
In conclusion, I can’t follow this game along with you folks, because I’ll be up the street at the local sports bar, which has just assured me via telephone that they’ll carry this game.
And hey, on the off-chance anyone else in midtown Toronto needs a place to watch the game, McSorley’s on Bayview is where I’ll be. C’mon over if you’re around.

The ESPN radio announcers are so into the Miggy Friday night story
They did not mention that he got a double. They are still talking about it, I have no idea who is up or the count. This is ridiculous.

I didn’t think he was going to pitch bad, but I figured a 4 ER game and our bullpen gives up 1 or 2 more…
