Need a game 5 - too bad!

During the playoffs, it's never a good idea to let things go to the last game... there's just too much that can go wrong.  I was getting ready to celebrate with Detroit holding a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the ninth inning in game 4 of the playoffs.  A win would send Detroit to the next level.  A loss would mean a final game 5 faceoff with Oakland.

Well, I guess there's going to be a game 5.  Last inning heroics by the home team means that Detroit will have one last shot to get to the next round.  They came into this round as the underdog, but quickly won the first 2 games of the best-of-5, so it looked good.

Now, it's down to a 50/50 chance to advance.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
