Baseball Al Central continues to heat up

[Mike_79]

The Yankees have beaten Minnesota 13 of the last 15 times they played them. Short series or not, the Twins do not scare me.

The Yanks have beaten the Tigers 5 of the 7 times they've played them this year. Each of their losses were games blown in the 9th inning, both times when Mariano Rivera was unavailable. Kyle Farnsworth blew a game in Detroit and Scott Proctor recently blew the 2nd half of a double header by giving up a 3 run homer. Overall the Tigers do not scare me either.

White Sox??? Not overly worried either.

The A's are the Yanks biggest challenge. They're having an excellent season and I'm hoping to see this matchup in the ALCS. The winner there is your World Series winner.

The National League sucks. The World Series is going to be the equivalent of having Henny Hughes vs. Zippy Chippy in a 6 F match race.
