Tigers Beat Red Wings
The Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins Rochester Red Wings, a AAA International League team tonight, 5-4, in 11 innings. The Red Wings’ parent club, the Minnesota Twins, watched from the bench. The only major leaguers to start for the Red Wings were Matty “Fatty” LeCroy and Luis Rivas, and Rivas only half-counts, anyways.
To be serious, though, I am conflicted whether I really want the Twins to beat the Tigers over the next three games (which would give Detroit the most losses of any team in modern Major League history). Alan Trammel’s mom just died, and the poor guy has been doing all he could with what is, let’s face it, a AA roster. He retired years ago, and he’s still probably the best hitter the team has.
