Twenty-Five Percent Chicago

The veterans turned in the big plays tonight. Ken Griffey made a superb throw to cut down the Twins only chance for a run at the plate, and Jim Thome lauched a ball over everything in centerfield for the only run of the game. Two of the great home run hitters getting the job done with the bat and the glove.

John Danks showed why he's the ace of the White Sox staff. He pitched efficiently, throwing just 103 pitches over eight innings. He kept the Twins off balance, allowing just two hits and three walks. It's unfortunate that he'll only get one start in the ALDS.

We now have two chances for local World Series with the Chicago and LA teams all in the playoffs. The Cubs and White Sox met in the World Series in 1906.

if the twins had won tonight, it would have set up an all-dome playoff series. Has this ever happened before?

Wait, I'm confused. Aren't the Dodgers the only LA team? Are you counting Anaheim?
