Did the ESPN crowd leave the stadium yet or are they still at their on-location desks talking about Favre?

Inge saves game (maybe) with his glove and then puts the Tigers up w/a 2-out 2B Good player Inge ... stupid tattoos.

Obviously more than a bit of luck involved there but Cuddyer's been getting HUGE hits for the Twinkies for weeks now.

Detroit gives Mets fans a reprieve... it's petty, and I don't know any Tigers fans, but it's nice to have some OTHER team shit themselves the last week and choke away a playoff spot instead of watching us do it.

Tiggers blew a 7-game lead with 26 to go. Not quite as bad as Mets '07, but it's getting there. Of course the Detroiters didn't help their case by blowing several separate leads in the play-in game.

Stopped in at a pub near work just after work to catch the end of it... and ended up staying for three hours. Hell of a game. And it's a nice reminder of how great a game this is, when it's not carrying the freight of audience expectations, unmet expectations, and various/sundry what-ifs. I look forward to the Sabathia walkakke.

In his defense the ball was hit hard and right to a guy playing shallow. Usually the runner has that extra moment he took to get his footing proper before taking off.

Maybe. After seeing on the replay it almost seemed he was so focused on tracking the ball that he lost his bearings along the base path.

Re: IGT 10/06, Tigers at Twins (all marbles game)

In addition to all the comebacks in yesterday's game, and all the ground made up on Detroit over the last 2-3 weeks, the Twins had to overcome two of the worst 'beats' you'll see in one season. - The 'Worst. Call. Ever.' game First they manage to blow a 12-2 lead, then they apparently re-tie the game only to be screwed by a game-ending horrid call. * CPF discussion * Boxscore - and the Joe Nathan meltdown of a few weeks back where, with a 2-run lead, he gets the first two outs of the 9th inning before giving up back-to-back HRs followed by two walks He was then yanked and his replacement allowed the inherited runs to score -- Boxscore Both of those were the type of game where you said at the time that if they lose the division by 1 game THIS is going to be the one that haunts them
