Anybody got a gut feeling?

I really don't. I sort of feel like Detroit is going to split these next 2 with the Twinks.

I think they split the next two, the Sox take 2 of 3 and the Twins take 2 of 3. Twins lose by a game.

All I know is that either Detroit or Minnesota will get anally violated by the Yankees.

Poor Twinks. Two years in a row close but no cigar.

They didn't play quite as well at home the first half of this year.

their season isn't over yet. If they the last, then it's obviously over. All they can do from here is win out. If they win the last 4, Detroit has to beat the Sox once to force a playoff and twice to win the division. That means they have to beat the Sox in a series, and the Sox like to play well when they get eliminated.

Twinkies still fighting. The Sox get to help decide who wins the Central. Ugh.

As do the Royals.

 

It's basically Twins/White Sox vs Royals/Tigers now.

Would like to see the Sox help out and beat Detroit.

I'd feel pretty good if I was Leyland, though. That split vs. Minnesota wasn't bad at all for Detroit.

Detroit averted disaster, though admittedly all of Motor City wishes the Tigers had wrapped it up at home today.

The Tigers might have hurt there chances by losing at home. I would prefer to see the Tigers win the division instead of the Twins but I'm not pulling against the Sox to help make it happen.

Anyone else getting amped for the Tigers series? I know we have nothing to play for, but it feels like we do.

I am a huge Sox fan this weekend

 

I say, the Sox should try to set it up so they have to play a Game 163.

There's 1 for you.

The Tigers would have to use Edwin Jackson wouldn't they? The Sox could potentially rob the Tigers of their top two starters for the 1st round of the playoffs.

Blackburn and Grienke are in a nice duel on Fox. Grienke with one walk through 3 IP and nothing else. Blackburn is perfect through 4.

ZG Down to 2.02

If he gets pulled at 6.2 IP, giving up 0 runs, look out for Kalapse on a killing spree watch.

Unless he has 150 pitches, no way he is coming out.

I can wait until the 7th inning...when there is a secret trade between the Royals and Dodgers...the Twins fans expect Yuniesky Betancourt to hit but then, wait.....THAT'S JIM THOME'S AT BAT MUSIC....bomb to center off of Blackburn, 1-0 Royals, Twins done for season.

 

Nice route to the ball Teahan. 3 run double for Young makes it 4-0.

Grienke is looking like a Sox pitcher in the dome now...

Twins need some strikeouts at the moment. Didn't realize how well Rauch was pitching for the Twins.

Well at least Grienke is off of the hook for the loss. Man, he would have the Cy Young unanimously if it wasn't for the White Sox. He only could manage a 2-2 record, despite the 2.31 era. They hit 4 of the 11 homers he gave up this year too.

You owe us a piece of the dome just for making Sunday's game matter.

Even if the Tigers survive this, no Verlander for Game One. That is something the Tigers will regret.

I still think they win the division; but no Verlander in Game One. Not good.
