The Tigers are just delaying the inevitable for the twins. This things over by saturday night at the latest. Greinke will beat the little twinkies on saturday and the tigers will take one of the first 2 vs the white sux at the very least

Not the best game yesterday, but we've got Jackson going tonight, so it should be fun to watch. Despite the loss, yesterday was a beautiful day in Detroit for baseball!
Anyway, as another poster said, I'd like the Tigers to wrap this thing up so they can set their rotation, and even though I don't really like the Twins, winning in front of Ozzie Guiellen would be great.

It would be pretty embarrassing for Detroit to blow the division to an injury depleted team that doesn't have a starting rotation. If Morneau was healthy the Twins would've taken 3 of 4 from Detroit.
So this life is sacrifice...

A White Sox fan talking about embarrassment?
A team that has played so bad their own manager said he felt like he was stealing from the team's owner because the product on the field was so terrible?
A team that, at one point, was tied for first place, but was so horrible it dropped to third place in arguably the worst division in the history of baseball?

Uh, calm down there Chester. I'm a Twins fan. I'm a White Sox/Ozzie fan now too because I want them to beat the Beirut Tigers asses.

WOW. This is shocking. Can I get this in writing, with your own signature on it? Never did I think you, of all Twinks, would utter these words. I understand your reasoning, but still, can't blame me for feeling a little weird and outta place, haha.
In all honesty, I feel like Peavy was just a little preview of what's coming next year, and that the Sox are still gonna lose the next 2. The MinnyMen put in one helluva run, especially without Morneau, put we all know it's tough for them to win meaingful games against KC at home. The Tigs should step-up at home, but maybe the HumpDome will provide a spark before the Twinks' world is blown-up and they have to play outisde. We shall see.
It is weird seeing OC (and Crede whem he played) in Minny uni's. They know what it's like to win the AL Central....
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.
and so it has come down to the final two games of the season. i give my nod to the Tigers. i don't think that the Twins can defeat Greinke today. the best that the Twins can hope for is to shut down the Royals offense and get the game into the 7th or 8th inning. this will give Greinke a no decision (a common ocurrence this year :roll: )
of course, none of that will matter if the Tigers can defeat the Chisox today and tomorrow.
Go Royals! Go Greinke! Greinke is the best sports story in KC this year. If he shuts down the Twins today, then he's the 2009 Cy Young award winner for the American League!
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
All tied up in the central with one game to go. Unbelievable. I don't know which is more amazing: the Twins beating the Cy Young or Freddy Garcia pitching 7 innings out lights out baseball. Whatever happens tomorrow it's been an amazing run. 85 wins and contending on the last day of the season is pretty good for a club that's missing half it's infield and has no starting rotation.

No it's not, they are competing against Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago an KC, I'm a Tiger fan, but even I realize that no AL Central teams deserves a playoff berth.

Aw yeah!
I was at the Twins games yesterday and today... what an atmosphere!! 51,000+ today... I'm sure Tuesday will be another sellout... doubt I'll make it back up for that one though. I think my girl mnpjgrrl is going though...
The Twins played some really awesome baseball this weekend, and getting to see the "closing" of the Metrodome with all the alumni was a sporting moment I will hold onto for a long time.
The middle of the Twins lineup is DEEP right now with the way Jason Kubel and Delmon Young are hitting. It's going to be a battle.

Anyway, yay! Twins!!! 1 more to go!! Any ideas of who the starting pitchers are going to be?

The Twins have to win on Tuesday. No disrespect to Detroit but it's simply an irrefutable fact that the Twins have played way better baseball the last 5-6 weeks than the Tigers have. Even if Detroit wins it would still feel like them backing in.
It's deja vu all over again with another tiebreaking game. But this time the Twins have the home field and their ace going. I'm feeling good about this one. No matter what happens though 86 wins for a team with no real starting rotation and a MIA infield is just incredible. If Gardy doesn't get AL manager of the year something is very wrong.
So this life is sacrifice...

well the Twins beat Greinke and the Twins were my grandmother's favorite team so i pick the TWINS to win the AL Central and to go on and get bulldozed by the Jerkees in the Divisional playoffs.

The Tigers are going to need a monumental effort from Porcello to win. I think he will pitch well, but only time will tell if it's well enough. I think either team will get smoked by the Yanks, and if either team was in any other division they would have barely won 70.

I won't deny the Tigers have blown it the last few weeks, but that's a weak argument. The reverse is that the Tigers played better baseball for 90% of the season than the Twins did... I think it's ridiculous to say that they "backed in" when they have been 1st place in the division every day since May.

I wanted the Tigers to win in 162 because they could have thrown Verlander at th Yanks twice. However you have to beat the best to be the best, so I don't care who wins now.
It does suck for the Rangers though. they imploded and still finished a game above these 2.
