AL Central race: September 17, 2008

MLB.com: Richard solid, but White Sox fall

[Clayton Richard] might have suffered the loss during a 5-1 setback before 52,671 at Yankee Stadium, but Richard pitched like a seasoned pro over 6 2/3 innings, giving up just five hits and striking out five, including Derek Jeter, Bobby Abreu and Alex Rodriguez twice.

MLB.com: Late mistakes continue to haunt Twins

Late-game mistakes by the Twins have been repeatedly costly during their current four-game losing streak. That was the case again on Wednesday night, as Minnesota suffered a 6-4 loss to the Indians at Progressive Field, completing the series sweep.

CHW 84-67 [7-8 in SEPT]

Someone's got to win this damn division...

Maybe we're going the way of the 2006 Cardinals?

This has got to be the worst middle relief I've seen on a contender in sometime. When Mike Macdougal is brought in the bottom of the 7th of a 1-1 game, you've got major problems.

What happened to Carrasco? he at least threw strikes.

Carrasco's numbers in Sept. - 6.2 IP, 7 R, 11 H, 4 BB, 5 K.

Whatever he was using to get batters out in July and August, it stopped working in September.

Um, sorry - you don't even have the worst middle relief of a contending (and I use that term lightly because the Twins season is D-U-N) team in the AL Central.

I don't think the Twins are done. They've got to play well against the Rays this weekend, but if they do that, there's no reason they can't catch the Sox next week.
