Seriously how did this happen? I didn't even watch the Twins game yesterday, since I figured they'd be resting everybody for the play-off series with the Yankees. They were tied with the Tigers going into their final series this weekend, and the Tigers had the tie-breaker and the Royals at home. The Twins only won one game out of three over the weekend against the Black Sox, so really, the only way for the Tigers to blow the division would be to get swept at home by the second worst team in baseball. And somehow they managed to do it, losing their last game in the 12th inning after loading the bases twice in extra innings and getting nothing. So now the Tigers get the Yankees, and the Twins get to hang another banner and home field advantage against Oaktown, after never leading the central division until yesterday. And Joe Mauer is officially the first catcher to win a batting title since the 40s. Take that, Black Sox.
