Both Sides Prepare for the Most Important Series in the History of This Season

The four game, season-defining series in Detroit between the Twins and Tigers starts at 7:05 p.m. ET tonight with Nick Blackburn going for Minnesota against 21-year-old Rick Porcello.

For the Twins fans, this series — win or lose — is everything they could’ve hoped for this season:

Two games back, with four to play in Detroit. I can’t deny, nor can anyone else: this is a pennant race. It is late September, spilling into October, and the Twins will be playing pressure-packed meaningful baseball yet again, for the third year in a row.It doesn’t matter how these seven remaining games go. It’s everything we could have hoped for.

Over at Bless You Boys, Tigers fans are discussing their levels of nervousness about this series, which based on the comments, seem to range from “very” to “full panic attack.”

Join us here tonight for live updates of the game and post-game analysis.
