AL Playoff Run Breakdown

Maybe I should be excited about the AL Central but I'm really not. The Twins are in first and they have the same record as the Yankees, so they just aren't that good a team. They have 3 games against KC this weekend which screams boredom, win all three and they are as good as in. Meanwhile the White Sox still control their destiny, sweep the Indians and beat the decrepit Tigers and they get a play in game. Lose one and they might be screwed.

Schedule
Twins
Fri Sep 26 KC 8:10 PM Liriano (6-3) Davies (8-7)
Sat Sep 27 KC 3:55 PM Perkins (12-4) Meche (13-11)
Sun Sep 28 KC 2:10 PM Baker (10-4) Duckworth (3-2)

White Sox
Fri Sep 26 Cle 8:11 PM Danks (11-8) Lewis (3-0)
Sat Sep 27 Cle 7:05 PM Vazquez (12-15) Jackson (1-3)
Sun Sep 28 Cle 2:05 PM Buehrle (14-12) Lee (22-3)
Mon Sep 29 Det TBA Floyd (16-8) Garcia (1-1)


Who's In / Who's Out
I'm not doing too much analysis for this cause it's just not exciting, combined these teams are 8-12 in their last 20. KC gave the Twins an extra edge by declaring Greinke out for Sunday, I think the Twins win all three and get in when the White Sox slip up on Sunday as Cliff Lee cinches his Cy Young.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
