Last year they were swept, this year they don't even make the playoffs. Will they even compete next year?

Tigers clinched a playoff spot for the first time in 19 years.

The White Sox have to win out their final six games and hope that KC can take 2 of 4 versus the Twins. That would put the Sox and Twins in a tie for the wildcard.

Now they have to keep winning to get home field advantage and so the don't have to play the Yankees in the first round.

I like that Inge at third... scrappy little hitter... good glove too.

Magic number for the Twins is 2. KC would need to take 3 out of four.

Brandon Inge is one of my all around favorite players because he's such a pleasure to watch play. He's the veteran of the team.

You are right, for some reason I thought it was 3.

It was three, until they beat Baltimore today.

Well, at least the Yankees will be thankful that they probably won't have to worry about the Anaheim Angels this postseason...they may not be officially over in the AL West, but Rosie O Donnell is warming up in the bully.

Of the 6 remaining regular season games I estimate the Tigers will take 4 of those. (KC and Toronto)
