What could anyone have expected for a high ranking AAA team?

IIRC, the A's have lost all four of their ALDS series, including one
to the Twins (who lost their two others). There would be a certain
symmetry to an A's win.

If the Twins are a high ranking AAA team, does that make the White
Sox a mediocre AAA team?

Hardly.
Ever hear of David and Goliath?

Yes. Goliath was stronger and bigger. David won because he was
smarter and better prepared for the battle. He fought his fight--not
Goliath's. Your point?

That sounds about right for the scenario of the AL Central this season. ;-)

Even worse. David went on to be King. AFAIK, Goliath wasn't much
heard from again.

That's always been the game they'd played (other than when they had Harmon,
Allison, Mincher and Battey).
Nowadays no talent (forgive me Kirby), but as disruptive as opportunistic.

That AAA team beat your team's sorry ass out of first place and the
playoffs this year. What a bunch of sore losers! Just like your
whiney catcher, A.J. Best thing the Twins ever did was get rid of
that POS little baby.

We grow our own talent. You, on the other hand, have to go out and
buy it on the open market. I guess if the Twins had the revenue that
your team does, they might be able to drop millions on some washed up
home run hitters too.
