yep. SO well I now have 2 sites to run. Either I did well, or I'm a masochist. Probably both.

Jays and Red Sox both lost tonight.

So the Yankees have a 2 game lead over both Seattle and Boston for the first wild card spot, with Toronto another game behind.

Can envision a scenario where Toronto sweeps Baltimore this weekend, Seattle takes 2 of 3 from LA Angels, and Boston takes 2 of 3 from Washington for a 3-way tie for the 2nd wildcard spot. Even wilder, add the Yankees being swept by Tampa this weekend and there'd be a 4-way tie for the two wildcard spots.

Down goes Minnesota! Tigers assured of at least a 4th place finish. Magic number to clinch 3rd over KC is 1.  Need to make up 2 games on Cleveland over the final 3 to tie for 2nd.

So, when the Tigers are in Chicago and José Abreu slides into first base to break Miggy‘s leg, what should the Tigers do?

Ordinarily I would say soak him in urine, but he plays for the White Sox, so

Revenge is best served cold. I understand it’s really cold in the waters beneath the ambassador bridge.

And as we leave Minnesota for the last time this year, may we pause again for a moment, as we do every year, in silent reflection.  To reflect upon the reason why Calvin Griffith, who owned the Washington Senators in 1961, where they had been for 60 years, decided to move the team to Minneapolis/St.Paul.  His reason was simple, there were just too many Negroes living in Washington.  Way too many.  And so he sought out the whitest large city in the United States that did not yet have a major league baseball team, and found it in Minneapolis/St.Paul.  And that is the eternal legacy of the Minnesota Twins, that they exist solely because of the clarity of the world view of Calvin Griffith.

Lots of people probably don't know that about the Twins by now, and don't still hate them for it.  But I do.
