DET 5, TEX 2

The NL didn't play today; I kind of can't believe the pearl-clutching commentary about how, thanks to the can St. Louis opened on Milwaukee last night, the series IS OVER if Milwaukee loses on Wednesday. This, after the same commentators basically called it for MIL in 5. I agree that the Crew has some pitching issues, and this is nothing against the Cardinals; I just can never believe how willing the sports commentariat is to freak the eff out over the results of one game.

Anyway, on to the actual action from tonight, in which 1) the FOX commentary, as usual, made the idiocy I just mentioned seem downright sane and bearable, and 2) Detroit gets right back in it with a strong performance from Fister and the hitters -- and our lineup reshuffles back to its former state. ...Well, provided I did the math correctly, and THAT hardly seems likely, does it! Har har! I am an overtired moron! ...Okay then. Points.

DET: 3

Cabrera, M: 6
