161 Down With 1 To Go
Twins 2 Royals 4
The Twins got in their own way all afternoon long. I think they hit into at least 10 double plays with runners in scoring position. I gave up in the 7th inning once the score was 4-2 because I had dinner plans.
Chicago also lost today so we are clinging to our 1/2 game lead., so our Magic number is 2. Here are the different ways it could play out tomorrow:
1. The Twins win and the Sox lose (please!) and the AL Cental belongs to the Twins!
2. The Twins and the Sox both lose (annoying!) so we keep the 1/2 game lead, and Chicago has to play their make up game with the Tigers.
If the Tigers won that game, the Twins lead is 1 whole game so we win the AL Central.
If the Sox win that game we are tied for 1st in the AL Central and we have to play that winner take all game in Chicago on Tuesday.
I haven't figured out how it work if the Twins were to lose (yikes!) and the Sox were to win (barf!). Do the Sox still make up their game with the Tigers? I think it is only fair that they do. If anyone can clear this up for me I would greatly appreciate it.
This all makes my head hurt and a little sick to my stomach. Since I'm a total glutton for punishment I'm going to the Twins game tomorrow with Tricia, the Twins Kid and our Mom.
I'm not going to make any predications for tomorrow or say anything negative about Chicago or Kansas City. The Twins will do their best and if they lose, they will go down swinging. (Pun intended!)
