There's a baseball game going on in Minneapolis tonight. It actually started earlier today.
Follow along with us, won't you?
Tigers 5, Twins 5 heading to the bottom of the 12th inning. (After the Tigers squandered a massive scoring opportunity.)

If the game started at 7:00 it would be nearing midnight right now.

I will say that it was even less of a grazing than the Huff HBP. Given that there’s no sound and the pitch was in the middle 90’s that’s a tough call to make.
Bottom line: bases loaded and less than 2 outs HAS to equal runs.

I’m going to go cry now before any of those polite Twins fans come over here and offer congratulations, because I’d just be mean to them and feel bad about it later because they were much nicer than their douchebag team.

I doubt that.
Ump wasn’t great tonight, but we should have won it ourselves.

No
Fuck the Twins, but do not start with the conspiracy theory stuff.

one more win, anywhere at any time
and game #163 never happens
the Tigers played their best, and it was good, but not quite good enough
don’t look anywhere else

I’ve seen enough bad endings. This is my second broken baseball heart this year, too.
But it makes the good times that much better.

by amazing blue on Oct 6, 2009 9:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Why?
He was responsible for 2 of the runs.

‘Cause that’s how the media works unfortunately.

Goodness knows those of us around here sure are…

That is true. But I’d hardly call us casual fans. Unfortunately we’re in the minority and the casual fan is fed their knowledge by the mainstream media.

Miguel?
I wasn’t around for the whole game, but I read the box score, and I’d say he acquitted himself nicely.
by SabreRoseTiger on Oct 6, 2009 9:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yes, and he would have scored a third run if inge would have been clutch
by Tigersin2010 on Oct 6, 2009 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Inge put the ball in play; that's what they preach
That f***ing Nick Punto made a nice play. And Inge was clutch in the 10th.

Well, I was going to save it for a win, but just for old times sake:
For what was supposedly a last place team, this season has been Gary Busey approved
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!

Thanks for hosting us, Ian.
I know it’s a lot of work for not much tangible reward. I hope you keep it up for a long time. It makes baseball much more fun, and more tolerable in the tough times.

depressing
perhaps a fitting way for this season to end, though, all things considered….

It was a force

pretend to trip and take him out.
I’d feel much better.

I’m glad he didn’t… Maybe if it was someone else…

Rick Porcello. I think that kid’s got a future. Is that a sufficient silver lining?

Verlander and Porcello anchoring a rotation
Nice, but it will take a couple days before I can really appreciate it. Right now it just hurts.

Words and emotions fail me
I watched the last innning on Gameday, and I couldn’t believe it when we squandered the top of the 12th. I think after that, it felt like only a matter of time.
And the Caps lost to Philly in OT. F—-. me.
Thanks everyone for all the fun this year, and especially to Ian for giving us this forum for everything Tigers.
by VATigersFan on Oct 6, 2009 10:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
In all honesty...
I’m not as hurt as most of you guys are because I’m a die-hard Red Wings fan as well… I felt this same exact feeling (maybe to an even bigger extent) when we lost Game 7 in June.
by ZWC11 on Oct 6, 2009 10:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
this is equivalent for me
The worst, though? That giveaway by Lilja to Selanne in the Anaheim series a few years ago and it fluttering …

One thing is certain
Tigers need to go after a big bat to protect Cabrera and Mags (if he hits like he did at the end of the year). Too many runs left on the bases throughout the course of the season.

Right now I don’t feel like it. I’ll watch the postseason and everything like I always do. My team for the next few weeks is the Rockies, FWIW.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. — A. Bartlett Giamatti

Y'know,
Screw it. I still need to pull for the Twins in the playoffs. Better them than 9 of the Yankees’ hired guns.
I don't want to hear any weak sh*t from Jason Grilli.
