You sort of thought we might win when Jesse Crain mowed down the Tigers (i.e. The Best Baseball Team Ever) in the eighth. There was just something in the air and let's face it, there hasn't been something in the air for a really really long time. And even though the Twins couldn't convert at the bottom of the inning Boo Berry Rincon stepped up and kept the momentum going. And then, oh! The situational hitting! The scoring, the merciless, beautiful scoring! You know what? If you make a huge bonehead bobble to give up a run and then pay penance by hitting in the tying run on a triple in the ninth and scoring the winning run right afterwards, well, you are forgiven my son. Because we beat the Tigers! We beat the Tigers! Thank God Almighty! We Beat the Tigers! And that makes you, Shannon Stewart, Boyfriend of the Day.
Li'L-Rod really likes to win.

I sensed a win, too, in the bottom of the 7th when it was 6-5. It compelled me to stop studying and turn on the game. I wasn't let down. We beat the Tigers in the bottom-of-the-9th-type fashion we like to take out of the closet and dust off every once in awhile.
Back to studying. zzzzzzzz
