The twins came clawing back, getting one run in the 6th, then getting two to tie in the 8th. In the 10th, Alexi Casilla hit a walk-off single to win it for the Twins.<BR/><BR/><BR/>So... That means the NL Wildcard is still tied. But most importantly, it means the Twins, finally, have passed the White Sox, and are now leading the NL Central by a half-game.<BR/><BR/>Tampa's traveling secretary must be busy on the phone right now canceling things in Chicago and planning things for Minneapolis. AL Central still not done yet, though. But what a comeback by the Twins. Without Santana!<BR/><BR/>How ironic would that be if the Twins trade away Santana to the New York Mets... the Twins make the playoffs and the Mets don't?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-23076472409282503732008-09-25T21:26:00.000-07:002008-09-25T21:26:00.000-07:00Also, my midnight technique worked.

Let's bet! (I say two games.) Here's my prediction: Friday's rained out and re-sked to 5:05 Sunday, with the 1:35 game moved up to 12:35. Saturday they play for Fox, and if the Rays win Friday, they get five innings in and call it since it'll be raining all day. Sunday, a drizzly first game, followed by the Pesky thing, followed by game 2. Wait, that's three games. Well, I say say at least two. Or--they have the Pesky thing in the rain Friday and get five innings in, and move Saturday's game to Sunday. I guess it depends on how hard it's raining each day.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-51914664127830598652008-09-25T19:36:00.000-07:002008-09-25T19:36:00.000-07:00I love how everything is working out the way it is...I love how everything is working out the way it is supposed to be.andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080026360873456937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-35398695578034481442008-09-25T18:52:00.000-07:002008-09-25T18:52:00.000-07:00OK, early to bed for me.
