June 24, 200520 yr It would take a lot for them not to make the playoffs, but anything is possible. In 2001, it would have taken 102 wins just to get the wildcard. Although unlikely, it is hardly impossible that Minnesota could sweep the next series against the Sox. In that scenario, we are talking about a 5 or 6 game lead and we have a real pennant race on our hands... SFF Edited June 24, 200520 yr by SpringfieldFan
