The best part about the Minnesota Twins clinching the wild card is that the hated Chicago White Sox are done. So long, suckers! See ya next year.

Yesterday was the day for celebration, or was it?

Maybe it'll be today when the Twins overtake the fledgling pussycats of Detroit for the division lead. We've been waiting for it for a month now. This might be our best shot.

The red-hot Twinks tonight will face the sometimes-battling Kansas City Royals, while the Tigers must undo a good-but-not-good-enough Toronto team.

Boy, are the White Sox going to be taunted when they come to the Homer Dome for one last, meaningless series this year. The only pride the South Siders will feel that weekend is if they can quickly settle into their new niche as spoilers and steal a couple of games.

Good luck with all that.
