Prediction
I had predicted privately that the Twins would force the Sox to play that makeup game against Detroit, but then would not advance. I'm sticking with that; Slowey's hurt, Blackburn's not the answer, and Morneau is slumping. Which is too bad, because that late-season split vs. Tampa gave me some confidence about the Twins advancing in a 5-game series.

In these one-game playoffs, someone's going to end up the goat. My money's on Carlos Gomez or Boof Bonser.
