If the Royals want to get back in it, they need to sweep the Twins (win the three remaining) and White Sox at home. If they sweep the Twins this weekend, the whole group of seven contenders have a shot.

Buxton walk off homer.

 

Twins will have a 3-game lead with 16 games left if the Angels lose.

It's a nice consolation prize, but hopefully it's Yankees-Indians, Red Sox-Astros...and then Astros-Indians.

 

NL--If the Dbacks beat the Dodgers, cool. Rockies? Not so much.

I foresee at least 5 losses for LAA and at least 5 wins for MIN, which would mean the Angels would have to go 9-1 and the Twins would have to go 1-9 for LAA to catch them. That thing's over.

You think the Twins are going to NY and sweeping them? Bold.

 

I could see the Twins going 7-8 and the Angels going 9-6 for the tie at 84-78, but the Twins should win this 75% of the time.

No, I think they'll take 5 of 7 from Detroit.

With the Twins playing 7/13 games against Detroit it doesn't look good for the halos.

Pretty amazing that the twins are in this spot this year.

ESPN has a good double header this evening. Twinkies @ Yankees 5:00CT and then Cleveland @ Angels 8:00CT.

 

They also have a triple header lined up for Wednesday making for a full day of baseball.

Damn. Wish I was off work to watch and relax. I really need a day to just watch some exciting baseball. I'll admit, outside of the games I've been to this year, I honestly haven't watched much of the Sox or any other baseball this year for that matter, even though I've followed our team and all the moves we've made and read this site everyday.

I can relate. I unplugged the cable from my TV years ago and followed on the net. For some unknown reason, the day of the first Sox Cubs game I decided to plug the cable back in and enjoy the only game I love. Been watching baseball pretty much every day since then. Forgot how relaxing it is to watch baseball. It's been therapeutic for the aches and pains. :lol:

For anyone interested, here's the three games on ESPN today. Should be some good baseball.

 

Twins @ Yanks NoonCT Colon vs Severino

 

Boston @ Baltimore 6:00pm CT Sale vs Miley

 

Cleveland @ LAA 9:00pm CT Tomlin vs Nolasco

Judge just hit #45 to make it a 3-2 Twinkies lead in the 3rd.

 

As I was typing that, Sanchez just went yard to tie the game at 3.

Twins suck in NY no matter the roster.

 

Can we just skip to Astros-Indians and Nationals-Dodgers and send everyone else home?
