Showdown in Chi-Town

After 162 games things are still tied up between the Twins and the White Sox. So today there will be extra baseball - a one game "play in" to see which team will make the post-season.

The White Sox came to town this week with a 2 1/2 game lead over our Minnesota Twins. The only real hope for the Twins to make the playoffs was to sweep all three games from the White Sox. And they did!!!

Braxton, Bayley, Zoe, and Brad all went to the game on Wednesday night. A 3-2 win nail-biter of a win. Then last night Braxton & Brad went again and David went to the game with Rich.

What a rollercoaster!! The Twins were down 6-1 in the 4th inning, but then the speedsters began chipping away at the lead. Carlos Gomez had a single, a double, 2 triples, and scored the game-tying run on a triple by Denard Span. These guys can fly!!!

It was fun to watch a big night by Gomez who gave Braxton great support and an autographed bat when we visited the Dome in June.


So first we say, "Thank you, Gomez! and "Thank you, Twins!"


Then we say:

G O T W I N S ! ! !
