Game 70: Record 39-31

Roller coasters still exist, even without Todd Jones

Wow. What a game.

Game is tied 1-1 from the first inning until the 6th.
Tigers are down 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th and Brandon Inge hits a 2 run jack to put the Tigers ahead 3-2.
Joel Zumaya gives up an dramatic 2 run HR in the top of the 8th and the Cubs lead 4-3 entering the 9th.
Lead off walk in the 9th to Don Kelly. Then Leyland amazingly pinch hits Ryan Raburn for Josh Anderson. I am not the biggest Raburn fan in the world, but on the second pitch of the at-bat, Ryan hit a changeup a ton. How about a 2 run walk-off HR to left-center. A deep, dramatic, unbelievable, jaw-dropping, goose bump-inducing home run.
Wow.

Very exiting stuff.

Edwin pitched great yet again, but when Joel gave up the lead in the 8th, Edwin was left with a no-decision. Thats OK as long as the team wins the game.

Two more against the Cubbies. Porcello v Harden is next up.
