They've gone 4-6 in their last 10 and if they keep playing like this they wont even make the playoffs at all, It is very possible that not just Minnesota could pass Detroit, but Chicago as well could.

But, we proved that last year. We let them beat us this year.

When they built the 2006 team, it was supposed to be the 2000-04 offense, plus the 2005 pitching. The sure got the 2000-04 offense and then some, but the pitching has also been kind of like 2000-04, only they have a guy to send out there every day, and a somewhat better rotation and pen.If they had this kind of offense last year to go w/ the pitching, which is what this team was supposed to be, they'd have won 120-130 games. Also, if they had this kind of pitching last year, to go w/ the offense they had last year, they'd be kind of where the Cubs are right now, 20 games under .500And Grossman, I picked up on these things from reading the papers and watching sportscenter. Don't start any crap about how I know this
