Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, Oct 6, 2009 5:07 PM EDT
First Pitch: 4:07 pm CDT
TV: TBS
Radio: Twins Radio Network
Know Thine Enemy: Bless You Boys
Left for dead, the Twins are now in the position to do what no other team in the history of baseball has done: Come back from three games down with four games to play to win the division. On the other hand, the Tigers could be the only team to choke under those circumstances. The stakes couldn't be higher.
The Dome will be full to the rafters for the fourth straight day. Like the Twins, just when you think Baggie Ball is dead, it comes crawling out of the grave to haunt the opposition, whether it be the Packers, the Tigers, or, hopefully, the Yankees. Fittingly, it's been raining here off and on for several days now, so no game 163 could be played out of doors.
Fortunately, Minnesota sports fans still have enough left in their voices to make more noise than a 747 inside of a hanger. Ear plugs and homer hankies and the whole package of Metrodome Magic will be there. Maybe the sun will come out long enough to cause Curtis Granderson to lose a fly ball in the roof, leading to the deciding run. Over 28 years under the Circus Tent, stranger things have happened. Sunday featured several of them, including Kirby Piuckett Jr. taking down the sign that said there was one game left in the season, revealing the sign that indicates zero games left. I'm still trying to figure out how there could be a game today with the number 0 hanging above the Home Run Porch.
If the Twins can play as they have over thier last 20 games, I like their chances. All hands on deck. Do or die. October baseball. Get the overflow thread ready in the third inning. Oh, one more: The Twins are 19-6 when I have had the pleasure of making the game thread and the game wrap. Hopefully their Tuesday luck will continue.
Starting Pitchers
Baker's the Twins' ace--just the guy you want for a one-game playoff. Since May, he's been one of the top five starters in the league. The last time he faced the Tigers on Thursday, he held the cats scoreless over five innings. If he can repeat that today, the Twins should become Central Division Champs for the fifth time this decade.
Pretty good for a kid who was pitching in high school two years ago. As good as Baker has been, Porcello has been better. The last two times he's faced the Twins have been quality starts. Both games were during the Twins 16-4 run. So Twins hitters will have their work cut out for them.

You're going to find a fat kid and try to fight him?
This just gets weirder. From the Detroit News:
Cabrera allegedly asked the teen, who weighs about 300 pounds, “What’s up, big boy? You need to work out,” according to the information provided to The News.
The teen then asked Cabrera to stop taunting him and said, “Let me be.”
But it became confrontational, the man told police: Cabrera allegedly challenged the man and the teen. “‘You don’t know me or where I am from,” he allegedly said. “Let’s go right now. I’ll fight both of you right now. Let’s go outside.” At one point, the man told police he felt that Cabrera intimated that he had a gun, saying he was going to go to his vehicle and get his “click-clack” and making a motion with his hands that he interpreted as the racking of a handgun.

Beyond the Box Score has an open thread of tonight's game
from a sabermetric perspective.
Right now Jeff just has the Ump’s strike zone tendencies, but when the lineups are released a full statistical analysis will be included. This is going to be fun.

More ESPN jinxing: All the Baseball Tonight analysts
picked the Twins, except for Steve “Denard Span is not a lead off hitter. He’s more suited for the 7th spot” Phillips.
by matty_b on Oct 6, 2009 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
headscratching from Phillips...
Did Phillips actually say that today?
Span .312/.393/.417
Granderson .248/.325/.454
AL Leadoff Average – .284/.355/.420
AL #7 Average – .257/.322/.414
I shouldn’t be so hard on Phillips. I don’t think anyone really thinks he’s paying attention to what’s going on.

Kelly Theiser just twittered that...
Deunsing would go tomorrow if we win. REALLY? Blackburn can’t go on 4 days rest? The schedule would match up pretty well where we wouldn’t need but 3 starters in a Yanks series.

Blackburn
That would be two consecutive starts on three days rest. The Yankees haven’t seen much of Duensing. He might be able to hold them at bay for a couple of trips around the order. Then again, he might pitch three innings today.

True, forgot he pitched on short rest on Saturday.
That’s too bad. It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the rotation then.

Hes only had a difference of 8 games played between last year and this year. Yet writers hold that he missed the first month of the year against him for MVP.

And anybody
that sais an umpire doesnt lose a game or a season is an idiot!
Perfect example: The game against Detroit when Harris Tagged Granderson but the ump didnt call it and when there was fan interferance on a different play in that game.
Without those mistakes we woulda won the division and would be getting ready to face the Yankees tomorrow night. :)

This ump sucks.
I know that’s what makes baseball baseball but this game is TOO IMPORTANT to be effing around with shitty calls.

Ok. I probably need to find a new place to watch the game.
There are two middle-ages winos, who look fresh out of the halfway house, downing Keystone light and grinding against the pool table to “White Wedding”

Sounds about as fun as..
…being the only Twins fan in a room of Tigers fans where they are playing country music.

CBS says Kepple is warming in the pen.
That has GOT to be an error.
