Jerry Owens with a squeeze bunt, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEED NEVER SLUMPS!

It's strange, but right now, this is the closest race in baseball. Angels, Rays and Red Sox are in.

In the NL, Cubs, LA, NY are in along with Mil. Astros, Phils, Cards and DBacks are just hanging on.

The Dodgers aren't "in." They have no shot at the WC and must beat AZ. Sure, they are ahead, but it isn't concluded by any means.

If the Twins miss the palyoffs by one game in the central, I will burn AJ Pierzynski in Effigy.

That race sure <u>feels</u> over, though.

The way the National League has been playing lately, you'd think that nobody in that league even wants to make the playoffs.

Effigy, of course, is a small town near Eagan.

kudos.

WRT Dodgers, it may not be over but BP says they are 93% to make it to the playoffs. If it makes you feel better, I will say that they are almost "in".
