Sports Thread #1 For 9/29/09: Twins-Tigers Massive Four Game Series

Well, it all comes down to this in the American League Central, as the Twins and the tigers began their four games series to see who will be the winner of the division, and the Yankees Division Series opponent next week. The series was suppose to commence last night, but rain postponed this.

For the Twins, at least taking 3 out of a 4 is the only option for them. A sweep of course would be unbelievable, and a split would be terrible.

With the highlighted struggles of Francisco Liriano this year, all ace mantle for the Twins falls on Nick Blackburn, as he will duel with Rick Porcello in Game 1 going on right now, while Brian Duensing has the inevitable task of trying to outduel Justin Verlander in the crucial night cap today.

Defense, as always, maybe crucial in this games, as while the Tigers aren't bad in that department (only 86 errors commented this season, the best in making sure not to beat themselves in Major League Basketball is Minnesota (a Major Leagues leading low of 70 errors).

As of this post, the Tigers are up 1-0 as the top of the 4th is set to start. Stay tuned for more updates.
