That’s the Tiger’s record for games played in extra innings. That’s not good, but sort of in line with how Tigers have done this year.

And for the first time in a while, I’m going to punt reviewing the game. I’ve spent the last 12 hours painting, and will probably have a repeat painting performance tomorrow. So, I’m going to point you to Al’s Detroit Tiger Blog, who did a nice writeup on tonight’s game. He also does a nice little piece on the Tiger’s infatuation with bunting which is a good read and something I agree whole heartedly. Even the games where I only catch 2 or 3 innings has someone trying to bunt another guy over, or trying to get a bunt single.

And the AL Central race is heating up. KC won, Chicago lost, and Minnesota won, so KC takes back the lead, and is a half game ahead of Chicago (and its in the loss column, which in my mind is better then having a half game lead by being up by one win), and two and a half ahead of Minnesota.

I think Chicago is going to come out of this one. I think with the reemergence of Colon and Buerhle, this team will have the pitching down the stretch to get things done. They already have one of the better offences (granted its on paper). As always, we’ll see. But whoever wins the division could do it with less then 90 wins.
