White Sox-Twins on Tuesday: Playoff for the playoffs

It was a tense afternoon for me as I watched the stock market fall the Chicago White Sox host the Detroit Tigers for a make-up game. The Minnesota Twins played their 162nd game yesterday, and finished their season a 1/2 game ahead of the South Siders. But the Sox won today, 8-2, thanks to a sixth inning grand slam by rookie second baseman Alexi Ramirez.

Despite the tension, it was an enjoyable game to watch.

Tuesday night the Twins travel to US Cellular Field in Chicago for a one game playoff to determine the AL Central champion. The winner moves on to the American Leage Division Championship Series, and will the Tampa Bay Rays.
