The Minnesota Twins are on the verge on taking their second straight game against the Chicago White Sox and their win will put them in a commanding lead in the AL Central. The Twins are winning 8-2 late in the game, and with the victory, the Twins will take an 8 game lead. The Twins are red hot and the Sox are not. Chicago had their chances in recent weeks but lack of hitting in key situations and the failure of starting pitching, one of the Sox's strengths earlier this season, combined to send Chicago packing. The final two weeks of the seaon are an after-thought. And, there may be some fall-out or shakeups in the Sox roster.
One thing for sure is Paul Konerko has had a great season. He is in his walk year. He'll be a free-agent in the off-season and will definitely have teams knocking on his door. He's hit near .320, among leaders in home runs with 36 and has over 100 rbi's. He has been great offensively and his slugging percentage is near .600. He is the bright spot for the White Sox this season.
