Our Own Hands

Delmon Young

After 161 games, the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins are tied atop the AL Central.

Who would'a thunk?

Thanks to a hot streak from Delmon Young, and an abysmal week from the Tigers, Minnesota now has the ability to clinch a "playoff" spot without having to worry about the "out of town" scoreboard.

With a victory tomorrow, the Twins will have clinched, at the very least, the right to a Game 163, to be held in the Metrodome on Tuesday night. If the Tigers lose tomorrow as well, Minnesota will have won the AL Central out-right.

If the Twins manage to accomplish that, they will be among the most historic teams in baseball.

And the real beauty? We can concentrate solely and completely on the Metrodome turf. It's in our own hands from here on out.

Andrew,
I am going to the game today and hope we win and Detroit gets swept. I know the Tigers have not played well but would rather miss out on the excitement of game #163 and risk another dissapointing finsh. Just because the playoff game would be held in the Metrodome does not make me feel any different about it because anything can happen in baseball.
