AL Central 2010

Twins won so they were 3 games back at the end of the game...Detroit was technically still in 1st
Chicago won later in the day...leapfrogged Detroit and the Twins went to 3 1/2 games back

normally when you beat the 1st place team you gain a game

Ya the .5 gb thing bounces back and forth when the top two teams keep jostling.

I prefer to go by the END of DAY standing than the end of GAME standings.
 
I know ;)
But if you watched the game they said at the end "Twins are 3 games back going into the ASB"...then watch the news later and they show 3 1/2 GB
 
Not if you're taking swings in the Home Run Derby. I was tired just watching them swing for the fences.

Seeing heres only one guy taking swings from the Tigers, the rest can rest and rejuvinate.

Btw, just how exhausting is it hangin out in California waiting for a game to happen.
Not like they are working a regular job.
 
How is Valverde different from Todd Jones, their closer in the World Series year?

How are they different ?????


How are they the same ?

Like I said, Valverde is in complete control, most of the time gets thru the ninth 1-2-3.

Jones had an attitude of, as long as we win, he didn't care how many hits or runs he gave up.
Jones WAS better than Rodney was. By a long shot.
 

WEEI's Dennis and Callahan to be simulcast live on NESN

Don't look now, but Steve Lavin is making St. John's relevant again
