I-Rod and J. Ro Get It On: A Reenactment

Twins at Detroit. Detroit 6, Twins 4.

Despite some late inning heroics by Justin Morneau, the Twins let the game roll by them when Juan Rincon, still apparently suffering PTSD from Mike Sweeney's steal attempt on Thursday, started throwing the ball all over the field. None of that was as bizarre, though, as the non-fight between J.C. Romero and his countryman Ivan "Slim" Rodriguez.

Since the game was not televised, perhaps you were not able to see the altercation, but Batgirl, thanks to her extensive contacts in the military and aerospace industry, was able to view the satellite feed and now presents for you—a reenactment.

It's the bottom of the eighth inning, with the Tigers ahead by one run. J.C. Romero allows a lead-off single to "Nook", then Brandon "And the Angry"* Inge bunts him to second. With "Nook" on second, Ivan "Slim" Rodriguez comes to the plate.

Aw, it's okay Brad. I thought you were a very hot chick.
