Should I Twins live blog, why NOT!

It's 4 to 4 in the bottom of the 9th in the Twins vs Tigers one game playoff for the Central Division Championship. My brother Todd, Sister-In-Law Kirsten, and neices Isabelle and Mallory are at the game and boy has it been a good one. Both teams have blown great opportunities to score.

Bottom of the Ninth: Punto walks then is bunted to 2nd. Tigers 3rd basemen makes a play and gets 2nd Out. Mauer will be walked, putting up Gomez??? Yeah that's who you want batting-NOT. He grounds out and the inning is over.

Twins Ace reliever Joe Nathan who was brought in to pitch in the 8th inning after the Tigers already tied the score is now done, won't pitch in the 10th. Jesse Crain to pitch.
