THE TOTALS ON THE BOARD ARE CORRECT: Going into tomorrow's games, the Minnesota Twins are 22 games over .500, which gives them a 15-game lead over the second-place Chicago White Sox and puts them only 4 games behind the Yankees in the race for homefield advantage in the American League playoffs. That's assuming, of course, that there are in fact American League playoffs- but if Bud Selig couldn't stop the Twins with contraction, let's hope he can't do it with a strike either.
