Gaining 1 1/2 Games

The Toronto Blue Jays complete the double header sweep of the White Sox with an 8-2 win in the night cap. Six Blue Jays collected mult-hit games and Litsch pitched seven strong innings. With the Red Sox loss, the Jays are now seven games out of the wild card with seven games left with Boston, starting Friday at Fenway.

Meanwhile, Minnesota downed Kansas City 7-2, meaning the Twins gain 1 1/2 games on the White Sox. They're now just one game out of first place in the AL Central. Mauer and Morneau drove in two runs each, Morneau with his 23rd home run and Mauer without the aid of a hit. Span continues to impress from the leadoff spot, reaching base three times and scoring twice.

Wouldn't it be something if both the Red Sox AND the Yankees missed the playoffs?

...the Sox have a 97% chance of making the playoffs according to Coolstandings.com

So yes, it'd be absolutely amazing if the Sox and Yanks both missed the playoffs. Statistically improbable to say the least.

Boston's 6 up with 18 to play and 12 at home. They do have some tough games though.
