Tigers and Twins Mano-a-Mano Tonight!

The Playoffs start tonight!!! (Not really, but close to it.) The Tigers and the Twins match up tonight at Comerica with a trip to October on the line. Four games head to head, with only seven total left to play.

It’s Rick Porcello against Nick Blackburn in the opener. Blackburn is 1-1 against the Tigers this year and Porcello is 1-2 against the Twins.

And here's the math.  Game one tonight...Tigers up by 2 games...If the Twins win, you have a one game lead (in other words, serious sweating can commence in Motown)...If the Tigers win, three game lead with six to go (in other words, make your hotel reservations for a first round showdown at Yankee Stadium Oct. 7th.)

I had an old coach in the minors who used to say "There's nothing better than baseball when the leaves are changing."  And going into tonight, the air will be crisp, the jackets will come out, and the baseball will definitely be intense!!!
