There are only five days to go in baseball’s regular season and there are still four playoff spots up for grabs. The pennant races are very much in the balance. The White Sox and Twins look like they are taking their battle to the final day of the season.

   The White Sox currently hold a two game lead in the lose column, but the Twins are right on their tails. They are in the middle of a three game series in Minnesota that could really jam the Sox if they can’t leave there with at least one win. The Twins took the opener last night 9-3 and look to keep the pressure on tonight.

    The Sox haven’t fared well this season in Minnesota losing all but one of their games in the dome. Mark Buehrle toes the slab hoping to halt the momentum and keep the Twins at bay. Last night the Metrodome was packed with thirty-five thousand fans and it really seemed to unnerve the Sox at times.

   Manager Ozzie Guillen seemed a little concerned by his team’s play, but stopped just short of hitting the panic button as he stated his team was still in first place and still had two tries to get one win before closing out the season at home.
