But the Twins and Tigers combined to make it a 12 inning game, that lasted well into the night.
An absolute classic ballgame. The Twins' Orlando Cabrera agreed: “This is the most unbelievable game I’ve ever played or seen." (This quote does not do justice to the way Cabrera delivered it. The video of him, still geeked up, unable to to keep his new Division Champs Cap on or off his melon, stuttering, yelling, is awesome. I think the Twins have to bring him back. next year.) But sure, it's easy for a player on the winning team to say that. How about Detroit Tiger/Goofy Tattoo aficionado/Twins nemesis Brandon Inge, who said, "This is the best game, by far, that I’ve ever played in no matter the outcome."
At the risk of dismantling the nice sportsmanlike tone Inge struck: Suck it, Tigers! But you could look on the bright side--you've become a part of history: " [The Tigers] became the first team in history to blow a three-game lead with four games left."

I still hate Brandon Inge SO. MUCH.
One of my favorite images from the clubhouse celebration was several seconds of the camera on Mijares as he drank an enormous can of ... Budweiser? There was no commentary; just Mijares in his own little world, beer running down his chin.
Then Gomez dances into the shot and the reverie is broken.
I believe the tigers Cabrera may have had too many budweisers before the game.
