Twins WIN!
OMFG!
Anyone see the game?
The Twins are absolutely AMAZING! Yeah, I'm a White Sox fan but I have to hand it to the Minnesota Twins, 7 games back on September 7th, win 17 of their last 21, force a one game playoff with the Tigers, take it to extra innings, go down 5-4 in the 10th and WIN it in the 12th!
Watch out New York Yankees, the Twins are hotter than ever.

The Twins haven't won in New York in quite some time.
Over the years, I've noticed that late season momentum is the biggest factor in how well a team does in the post season. Recent examples are Colorado in 2007 and Houston in 2005.
I think the Twins will at least split the first two games in New York which will give them the advantage for the final three. I also think the Red Sox will beat the Angels.
Phillies over Colorado, Cardinals over the Dodgers and the Cardinals go to the World Series to face the Twins. The American League has the advantage in the World Series BUT I think the Cardinals will split the first two in the Metrodome giving them the advantage and I say the Cardinals will win the World Series.
No, I'm not taking any bets on this craziness, I just figured I'd put it out there just so I can say "I told you so." if it happens.

Lesson learned here, if I ever offer a cigar bet on a baseball game TAKE IT, you're virtually guaranteed to win.

You got Phillies right, though what a miracle it took last night.

You and your baseball allegiances Bill, never could understand them. Whatever happened to your Astros Sigtag?

I had that over on CigarPass, I don't ever remember having it here. I'm still an Astros fan (they're my main team) but I like the White Sox too. I also like the Cardinals and the Red Sox.
I started this thread because I was very impressed how the Twins came from no where to win the division.

Oh, I know why you started the thread. I'm just perplexed with how you came to like the teams you like. You did have the Astros Sigtag here too back closer to 2005. Seriously, how did you come about those allegiances, I mean the Red Sox kind of makes sense, though aren't you on the southern side of Connecticut? The others I don't get.
For me, Cubs because I grew up in Chicago and loved the players the cubs had growing up in the 80's and 90's (Grace, Eckersly, Sandberg, Dawson, Maddux, Suttcliffe, Zimmer as manager). I also love the Yankees because when I moved to NYC I figured I could love whatever AL team I wanted since I hate the white sox, so why not love a team with an owner who was the opposite of the owners of the Cubs (i.e. an owner who wants to win and doesn't care if he has to spend his entire wealth to do it and doesn't care if he can still sell out the stadium with a losing team). Then, year to year I root for whatever other teams represent good baseball fundamentals, so long as they're not teams I hate thanks to my prior two allegiances (i.e. I will never cheer for the Red Sox, White Sox, Mets, Cardinals).
