Chicago loses five in a row, surrendering division lead: unclutch!
Chicago wins two in a row, forcing one-game playoff: clutch!
Oh clutchness, you are so delightfully fickle. Which ever will it be tonight? While on its surface a competition between each team's level of talent, this game is truly but a test of Chicago's character. If they lose, I'm gonna blame Griffey.
I love one-game playoffs so much.

The only thing that would be better than a one game playoff
is a one game playoff decided by a blown call that is wrong even after review. That would be fantastic.
But go Twins. The White Sox have already had their blown call for them in 2005.

White Sox were about 5 wins better than the Twins by BsR.
Losing quentin hurts of course, but I don’t think by that much. Unless other factors (no more Livan) are able to close that still sizable gap, I’d say the Twins are worse.

I'm all for them
Because I’ve got a girlfriend who will watch as much baseball as I want, so long as she gets to watch her Sox. Easy choice for a second team then, and I think having a blatant homer is kind of fun for an announcer. Reminds me of the idea of putting two fans (one of each team) in the booth for any sporting event. Always thought that would be fun too. It’s not as if you really need an announcer for a TV game.

…if it means he’s more likely to come to Seattle on a cheap “last hurrah” contract? I mean if he’s still in the hunt for a ring he’ll be signing with an obvious contender. But if he’s just out to make a couple bucks and enjoy a goodbye tour, he might end up on the M’s and take up a roster spot for a useful player.

I’m a starter for the Cards and they finished 91-71 and in tie for first place with the Cubs.
The Mets won the wildcard with a 92-70 record. So instead of playing a one game playoff for the NL Central, the game tells me we won the Division and will face the Braves in the NLDS.
