Twins win+Tiger loss tonight =first place in AL central

Willy,

I know, I know....it's a business and the goal is to win the WS. And I understand the point/strategy of your ? about resting Santana. I don't know all the dynamics of the team/chemistry or how that might affect it. I would like to see them continue playing the same way they have been without making any major strategy changes. Besides, I feel saving him to make more starts is kind of a slap in the face to all the other guys that contributed, no matter how big or small, to the success of the team and I would think they would like their turn out there.

I'll be ironing my skirt later!

Hopefully it won't come to that, but I don't see it as a slap in the face, I see it as smart baseball.

Radke will be back and might not be on the playoff roster. He can be used in the last series at the dome. It'd be the right way to send Brad out if they don't plan on using him in the playoffs. Give him a chance to win us the division.

Imagine the story that'd make.

Are the White Sox printing playoff tickets yet?

[Willy]

I wonder if we'll hear any mouth from them like we have before. Buerhle shot his mouth off the one year and this year they were supposed to be the best team they've ever had. They had the better team.

Really, it's only a matter of time before the Twins take the lead and stay there. I'm quite confident of this, and say it at the risk of wiping more future crow off my face...

The Twins had the door of opportunity OPEN WIDE twice and they blew it! I would have to say if they don't take the division lead while Detroit plays Toronto, we'll probably have to settle for the WC..bottom line, division title or WC, we're in the playoffs!
