Magic number is still 2, no?  Those Tiggers are going to look awfully silly making a dogpile after they clinch a tie.

Racist.

I thought it was one. That would be a very silly and Tiggerish thing to do.

SPLOOOOGE.  This team is just amazing.  Detroit gets baffled by Sweaty Freddie, while the Twins find a way to beat the hands-down favorite for the AL Cy Young.  I might have a little bit of rooting interest left in this thing, after all.

I love the Twins.  The most amazing thing is this most recent run, at least over the last week or so, has been done without Joe Mauer really contributing too much.  He hasn't done much damage, yet the rest of the team has picked him up.  Who'd have thought that Delmon Young would be the hero this last week of the season?

I love the Twins.

So... It turns out that I hate the Twins.

This nugget this morning about Miguel Cabrera doing his best to help the Twins out.  If I were a GM, this guy would be on my list of players I wouldn't get near with Joe Francis' cock.

Police found a damaged cell phone, and the gold chain Cabrera wears around his neck was broken, too. But when officers asked the couple what happened, neither would explain how they were injured, according to the report.

Cabrera's wife insisted he leave, and he agreed, so officers took him to the police department to be picked up by the Tigers.

After investigators determined both Cabrera and his wife were "aggressors" in the situation, Patterson said, the first baseman was released. Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski picked Cabrera up at the station between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Saturday, he added.

Cabrera registered a .26 blood-alcohol level when tested by police, Commander Mark Clemence said. A person is considered drunk at .08.

Gota love a guy whose team is in a dogfight and decides he'll go out with his ex-teammates and get shit-faced (to the tune of at least .26) till 5 in the morning.

My recommendation for Miguel, is that he consider hitting 7 or 8 home runs tomorrow night.  

Imagine the off-season he will have if the Twins win the division.   BTW, he was 0-4, 6 LOB on Saturday night.

Yeah, Miggy definitely deserves to get killed the off-season if the Twins win tomorrow night seeing that he's .305/.408/.505 in September after putting up another monster year.  Totally worth judging his entire season on two games though.

Man, you just LOOOOOOOVE the Tigers now, don't you?

So it's OK to blow a freaking .26 if you've built up enough baseball capital through 160 games.  Got it.

Is the $15M that the Tigers are paying him also the new league minimum?

Maybe he gets shitfaced every night...maybe that's part of his routine.
All I know is that Miguel Cabrera is one of the best...10-20 players in MLB on a year-to-year basis, I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt.

Also, let's be clear...this is baseball...it's not entirely impossible that you could get nice and liquored up and still be able to perform 14 hours later.

And I'm leaving the 2nd part of your question unanswered because I don't understand it.
