A little, but I'll stick with my (now slightly unrealistic) original prediction of the Twins in 5. ;-)

Even if they now win two ON THE ROAD, Santana will be used up in game 4. p.s. HOME RUN, CARLOS DELGADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, sounds like Santana would not pitch a game 4. Very sore after
yesterday's outing. Twins would probably go with Silva (ouch).

And......Santana hasn't won in a while. The Twins had a 10 game road
trip to finish off their road season. They went 8-2. Very impressive.
Only problem is the only 2 losses they had were by Santana. And in
game one of the playoffs, he lost again, for the first time at home
since last August. Nice run, too bad it was for nothing, other than a
meaningless Cy young Award.

Twins are toast.

Don't see why someone would root against the Central. Have some
division pride.

Still holding out hope that the Twins or the Tigers can represent in
the ALCS. Not betting on either team at this point, though.

Sorry, I just can't bring myself to root for the White Sox, ever. And
now the Tigers are low on my list as well.

If it was the Royals or Indians, I could get behind them. But the
Tigers or White Sox? No thanks.

The White Sox pissed, moaned and generally made asses of themselves while
the Twins were beating them in the early 2000's. They earned the ire of Twins
fans.

The Tigers rebuilt from nothing and have handled their recent success with
class. I'll be rooting for the Tigers in any series they aren't playing the
Twins.

ok. probably one more game should do it and i'll bid the twins group a fond
farewell until next time they're in and the braves are out. heck, that may
be next season around this time.

Tigers Fall, Give Away Division Title Tigers Waste Golden Opportunity and Fail to Win AL Central, Falling 10-8 to Royals http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=2514619 By RON VAMPLE The Associated Press DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers wasted a big chance to win the AL Central on Sunday, blowing a six-run lead and then watching All-Star starter Kenny Rogers lose in relief 10-8 to the Kansas City Royals in 12 innings. The loss left the Tigers with the AL wild card, meaning manager Jim Leyland's crew will open the playoffs Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium against New York.

Turned out that losing the Central was the better opportunity...

Apparently the Tigers plan all along was to tank at the end of
the season and throw away the AL Central Championship in
order to play the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs.

If so, Leyland is a genius! ;-)
