Do the Twins STILL have a chance to catch the White Sox?
After what Tampa's done to them, they're NOT a legit playoff threat in my eyes.

Yes, because they play each other in a three games series in Minnesota. BUT, I now think the Twins would have to sweep that series to have a realistic chance.
7 back in the Wild Card, but only 2.5 from the White Sox....
The Twins have a 3 game set with the W. Sox next and finish with KC
White Sox have 3 with Cleveland to end the season.
Yes, the TWINS still have a good chance and the Indians can help the cause.

ramy's Reds stepping up big time.
Beat Sabathia and somehow managed to do what nobody else has done- get the better of Cliff Lee.

Hell has frozen over.
Two of the worst teams in all of sports in 2007 (Rays, Celtics) have made MONSTER strides this year.

And the Brewers continue there disasterous September. Looks like my baseball season will be done in about a week and a half. Time for football and the Green Bay Packers...even though they will get beat this week against the Cowboys.

It's a shame that Brewers are blowing it this month. I much rather have Cubs play Brewers over playing the Phillies. It's not too late, just need to win.
Phillies beat Florida (ending the Marlins 9 game winning streak) and the Mets lose to Atlanta.

NBA Player Salaries and NBA Team Payrolls 2007-2008 | thehoopdoctors.com
I'm a little confused as to how you define bought? Is it because they traded for Kevin Garnett, who is the highest paid player in the league?
The Celtics improved their team DRAMATICALLY because they acquired Garnett and Ray Allen. Now, if their payroll was well over every other team in the league, I could see your point, BUT.........................................
2007-08 NBA Payrolls:
1. Dallas- $105 million
2. New York- $90 million
3. Denver- $80 million
4. Cleveland- $79 million
5. BOSTON- $75 million
6. Portland- $74 million
7. Miami- $73 million
8. Lakers- $72 million
9. Phoenix- $71 million
10. Philadelphia- $70.8 million
All of the above...but more to do with the GOD AWFUL front office, over paying for some...not going after the right players to fit what they need. EVERYONE knows they have had pitching woes.....then they tried to bring in kids that just weren't ready....and then in the end, they ALWAYS blame A-Rod.....
Your kidding right? YES, he is an arrogant pr***.....but overrated? Wonder if you were saying the same thing when the Red Sox wanted him so badly they were almost handing their sisters and wives to him just to get him to sign.
Please.....you don't like him because he is a Yankee. Was he overrated in Seattle? Or Texas?! Before he was moved to short to please the little crybaby Jeter, he was not only the best shortstop in the majors, he was THE BEST PLAYER in the last 25 years......PERIOD. And as of now(baring some 'deap throat' somewhere), he has done it ALL CLEAN.
