Thank You, Kansas City!
With Detroit's loss to Kansas City and Minnesota's win over the White Sox, the Yankees are spared from having to face inevitable 2006 AL Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana twice in a short series. With Liriano out of the pst-season and Radke off form (it sucks to be Minnesota fans), I feel better about the Yankees' chances to beat the Twins in a 7-game series. But the prospect of facing Santana twice in a 5-games series was not a happy one (sorry Oakland).
The Mets are also spared from having to face Houston in the post-season, since they lost again today, allowing the Cards to clinch even with their loss. This makes my boyfriend happy, so I'm happy.
*To regular reader and Tiger fan Rick, sorry. I know. But a fan's got to wish for what a fan's got to wish for. And this is for the Twins to win the AL Central so the Yankees face Detroit in the ALDS. Up for another interblog wager?

I haev to tell you that this last month has not given me a lot of hope for the Tigers post season. The game last night was a scary reminder of the Tigers last year, enought offense, but the pitchers let us down. I hope the put up a fight, but I'm not encouraged.
