What a game. Wednesday Night Baseball, on ESPN, in front of the whole world (there were in fact only 19,000 people at last night's game in a stadium that holds 34,000... its cold but come on detroit, get your Tiger on!)! Last night the Tigers made their third comeback of 5 or more runs in 2010 and it's all thanks to Denard Span. Any dude that argues with umpires AND hits his own mother with a foul ball should know karma is going to be coming around in a big way and it did, in the form of a 6 run sixth inning. After going down 6-1 (behind what I think was a decent outing by Scherzer except he gave up 3 home runs to anyone who was asking) Tigers fight back to make it 6-5, against Scott Baker who apparently wanted the us to win because he kept walking people. Regardless, neither pitcher was able to get the win because they were pulled before the fifth. Anyways, Jackson gets on base with 1 out. Damon comes up and hits a loooooong fly ball to center. Span catches it and in the exchange (or so the Twins would argue) drops the ball. Error.

Enter the Twins bullpen. With men on 2nd and 3rd, Mags get walked! Bases loaded, 1 out, Cabrera up. Would you believe me if I told you he hit a grandslam? Good, cus he didn't, he got hit by a pitch. Then came the double trouble for the Twins. Boesch, Inge, and Rayburn get back to back to back doubles, knocking in 6 runs and pretty much sealing the Twins fate. All because Denard Span was a bad man. He better go out and adopt a puppy and help an old lady across the street or some real old school boy scout shit, cus the universe ain't having it from him right now. And he's on my fantasy team. Awesome.
