MLB: Twins fans, this is basically the playoffs

I agree. It's like being down 3-1 right now, where they need to win 3 in a row.
I'm going to be rooting hardcore, but lets face it, chances are slim.

GO ROYALS!!!! nothing personal jonesy...i wouldve been cheering for the royals anyway obviously. but being a spoiler is sweet. and spoiling the twins is even sweeter.
Scenarios:
Sox sweep: Sox win Central
Sox win 2-1: exit series up 3.5, Twins must sweep, Sox must get swept and lose add-on game to Detroit to force one game playoff
Twins win 2-1: Sox exit series up 1.5 with magic number of 3. Sox finish with Cleveland (and one game with Det if needed)
Twins sweep: Twins exit series up .5 game with all hell breaking loose.

Lets hope this is what happens. The dome will be rocking the next 6 days!!!!!!!!!!
You'd want the Twins to really make sure they finish more than a half game up....cause then the Sox would get the Tigers and then the Twins at the Cell for a half game playoff, where our winning percentage is around .667.
Honestly, from this point out it is on the Sox. They control their destiny.

That's deep. It wasn't all that clear to me... I thought the Twins controlled it and were favored to win the division....
Seriously, If you look at the loss column, the Twins are 3 games behind the Sox. If the Twins sweep, the Twins and Sox are tied for first. Afterwards, as long as the Twins do better than the Sox in the final series, the makeup game won't matter.
IMO, if the Sox win today, it's over
Jerk. :wink:
Which Javy will show up tonight? Unfortunately, I have night class and a test to study for, so I can't follow it all tonight....
Yea, I am right there with you on that. I have 3 hours of basketball practice. Oh lord do I hate the preseason.
At least it's not Tigers vs Indians for the Central....at least I begrudgingly respect the Twins.
Seriously, does anyone think there is a place in Ames that I could catch this game at? T
THE most frustrating part about living in Central Iowa is that I never get any Twins or Wild coverage.....

Must see TV for the next 3 nights, I love it. I might make a road trip to the dome for a game or 2 wednesday and thursday since my boss is going to be gone at work and this series is important. Reminds me of the last week of 2005, thats a good thing.
Like John Kruck said, they should just retire the AL Manager of the Year Award and give it to Ron every year.
You forgot the word "to" in your member title.
Likewise with the Sox. When Kenny Williams said this spring that Detroit's acquisition of Cabrera only strengthened Detroit's chances to compete with the White Sox, it seemed ludicrous.
The Sox and Twins emerged with the best pitching in the division, and here we are.
