Me too. As much as I like to see the Royals playing well, I hate the fact that we are helping the White Sox.

Same here, but if they keep losing, we can have the best of both worlds.

Well, I just won $5, I bet a rabid Twinky fan at work that the Royals would win this series.
I'd rather see the Twins win the division than the White Sox, but they have to earn it. Baseball tradition demands that if a losing team is playing against a team with a must-win game, then you have to play hard to make it fair to the other teams involved. I'm sure the Indians arent giving up anything to Chicago either.

Yep, so assuming they can beat Duckworth at home (how hard could that possibly be?), then they just need to hope Chicago loses at least one more game to have a chance at forcing Chicago to play 1 or 2 tiebreaker games.

In case anyone is confused about the ALC standings between Twins/White Sox and Tigers/Royals, a Detroit @ Chicago game was rained out and will not be made up unless necessary. If its not made up, then Detroit and KC cant tie, we'll either win or lose 4th place outright.
If Chicago finishes up or down half a game, then the Detroit game must be made up. If up a half game and they win or if down a half game and lose to detroit, thats it. If the makeup game leads to a tie, then Chicago and Minnesota will have to play another game to determine the division champ. So, Chicago could conceivably stumble into the playoffs having had two fewer days rest than anyone else after playing these extra tiebreaker games.

I haven't been paying attention, but guys on ESPN the other day were saying it was virtually impossible for the White Sox to win the division. I think one guy even used the word 'miracle'.... and they were basing it on how the Twins were playing the Royals at home. With that information, I thought the Twins' magic number was 1 before last night's game.

75 wins, I'm tickled shitless with that result this year. VERY promising for the next couple years. VERY promising.

Double plays absolutely killed us today.
I had this game marked as a loss two weeks ago. The Royals are playing great ball and I hope that continues into next year. I think the AL Central could be extremely competitive by 2010-11 (hopefully with the White Sox in the cellar). With that said, Minnesota will win tomorrow and I'm praying Cliff Lee starts for Cleveland.

Eh, it's the same media dipshits who, year after year, say crap like "there's no chance USC loses to Oregon State tonight, this is the greatest USC team evar", so it's not like I'm all that surprised.... but 1/2 a game?!? ![]()

That type of winning percentage might lead to a pretty decent season.
