However, things have not gone as planned and they will have to settle for playing the role of spoiler.

Minnesota swept a doubleheader from the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday to move into the tie. Jim Thome clubbed a two-run homer, while Jermaine Dye added a two-run double in the loss |

The best race in all of baseball is in the AL Central, where the Chicago White Sox hold a slim one-game advantage over the Minnesota Twins. Two teams, by the way, picked by nobody to reach the postseason this season. Chicago's injuries, which seem to be mounting by the day, may be too much for it to overcome the rest of the way. I think the Twins, amazingly, will pull this one out in t |
