Anyone surprised by Detroit. This is the city of the Lions, the city of the Red Wings that lost Game 7 at home, the city of the Pistons that traded away Billups and did AI dirty. Who expects anything else from the great metropolitan area of Detrout.

Seriously? The Red Wings have been arguably the most successful hockey franchise for the last 15 years. They've made it to the Stanley Cup finals 6 times since 1994-95, winning four times. They've had the best record in the league 6 times in that span. They've made the playoffs each of the last 18 seasons.

Don't forget a couple innings before they had 1st and 3rd no outs and had a K>Double Play to end the inning.

WHO THE HELL PITCHES HIS CLOSER FOR 4 INNINGS?

WHO THE HELL LETS GERALD LAIRD Bat wit the bases loaded and 2 outs with bot Avila and Thames on the bench?

He kept Laird in for his defense. He saved at least one wild pitch, possibly two. I completely agree with Leyland's call to leave him in. Rodney was questionable, at best.

I would give up a little D for potential O considering the team had the bases loaded!

OH AND FUCK THE UMP FOR MISSING THE HBP ON INGE!

Sure that was a blown call, but the Tigers had so many opportunities to score and couldn't make good. They were saved by an absolutely ridiculous put-out at home plate to get Casilla and the couldn't score with the bases loaded.

Rodney should have come out. He was starting to look a little fatigued and I think his confidence had been rocked by the offense's inability to score.

Even though it worked out for the Twins, I thought both managers were a little to eager to substitute players. The Twins took Kubel out of the game and, despite the fact that Gomez delivered, I don't know anybody who would pick Gomez to be in that spot over Kubel. On the Tigers' side, they took Ordonez and Guillen out. I wasn't a fan of any of these moves.
