Jim Souhan: It had to come to this — all or nothing against the team we love to hate

The White Sox don't get along with each other too well, for that matter, but they know a victory can cover that up.

Check out Nick Blackburn's most recent outings at the Cell. I'm not liking the Twins' chances tomorrow, but at least in a one-game playoff, anything can happen.

We can't win 2 games against the Royals, do we really think we've got a chance in Chicago or Tampa for that matter? It's been a great season, but it's over!!

Well, since there is no other choice to play this game it would be pretty sweet to beat the Sox at Cellular field. Twins will have really earned it. Sox are not going to be playing a team that has no reason to show up like the Tigers. Twins have done well with pressure so far in sweeping the Sox. I have confidence they will again.

Twins have not played in Cellular field in months. Past stats mean nothing to me. What matters is the present.

He and Slowey are The Twins two weakest starting pitchers. Liriano got rocked by KC, this would be a great chance for redemption. Oh well, Gardy better have a quick hook on Blackey if he gets into any trouble.

AJ, the jerk. Twins were hitting triple double and HRS against the Sox pitching at the dome. What an idiot he is. I like chances about the false confidence AJ and probably the rest of the Sox have. Underestimating the Twins has always hurt the Sox. It's on now AJ!

Not that Twins need extra motivation but they have bulletin material from AJ as usual.

Blackburn can also get back at Ozzie for his comments he made last week. Good pitching is getting out of jams. Blackburn did that and Twins won.

Twins fan in Bangkok here. I need to wake up at 5 in the morning to catch the final game. The whole season comes down to this game and I'm glad it's the white sox we have to beat. It's not about the AL Central title. It's not about getting into playoffs. It's about beating the White Sox and make their whole season as a waste. We need to win this game tomorrow. This is the only game Twins fans should ask for from the team. I don't care if they will get blown out sweep in the first round playoff. Just beat the White Sox at their home turf tonight... that's all I will ask for from you this season.

Why doesn't the league pick a neutral site for a extra game to get in the playoffs? It would be better then give one team home advantage they don't deserve.
