One of our main storylines this evening will be game 3 of the Twins-Tigers series.  It’s a must win for Minnesota tonight and they have the right guy on the mound.

The Twins brought in Carl Pavano for this game.  He’s 4-0 against the Tigers this season and if you look at the pitching matchups the next 2 nights they favor Minnesota.  It’s Pavano vs. Bonine tonight and Baker vs. Robertson tomorrow night.  There’s a good chance the AL Central will be tied heading into Friday night.  I honestly think that this race will come down to the final day and may even need an extra day.

Another thing we’re going to discuss is this year’s possible award winners.  I like Joe Mauer for the AL MVP and Albert Pujols for the NL MVP.  I still haven’t decided on the AL Cy Young award winner.  I want to see how Zack Greinke and Felix Hernandez do in their last start.  The NL Cy Young race will be close too, but right now I’m leaning towards Adam Wainwright.  As far as my Rookie of the Year choices you’ll have to tune in tonight at 6 to find out.  There are a lot of good ones to choose from. 

Don’t forget we’re on an hour early tonight with Path to the Pennant at 5 followed by MLB Tonight at 6.-Dave Valle
