Rangers 7, Tigers 3 (F/11): Rangers Cruz to Another Eleven-Inning Win Amirite?

Bless you and your two-RBI double Miguel Cabrera but it was not enough :(
To begin, let us all acknowledge that Rick Porcello did a great job, as did Alburquerque and Benoit in relief. And let's hear it for Brandon Inge, whose solo shot tied the game in the seventh. But man, Nelson Cruz; what can you say. Between throwing out Cabrera by a mile to end the eighth, and hitting the three-run home run that put the game out of reach in the eleventh -- his second eleventh-inning home run in as many nights -- that's just a hell of a game. Sure, nobody wants to get picked off first to end the top of the ninth in a tie game, but I am reasonably confident that nobody will remember that or care at all. 


And now a couple of pictures from the rain delay.

  1. More like Rangers Cruz to Some Bullshit. That may not be elegant or, really, make any sense at all, but fuck it, the wounds of my soul are neither elegant nor sensible. I blame Joe Buck, Hitler, Ron Washington's dealer, Nolan Ryan and the Coen Bros. for making Texas' malaise artistically fashionable thus leading the secret cabal of baseball Nazis to engineer the Rangers success. Also, I blame Alexei Ogando. Fuck him. Oh, and Mike Napoli too that motherfucker, I . . . *Neil disappears into another dimension*
