AL Wild Card Picture – 9-06-09

Here’s a look at the American League teams who are currently involved in a very heated and contested race for the AL Wild Card.  This feature will continue to run each and everyday.  Until one of two things happen, either the season ends or the race is officially decided.  Which ever comes first, so for the latest standings and happenings check it out daily! 

Leading The Pack:  Boston Red Sox 

Moving Up Fast ‘N’ Furious:  Texas Rangers – 2 Back

Holding Their Own:  Tampa Bay Rays 6 Back & Seattle Mariners  7 Back 

The Annoying 1’s Who Won’t Go Away:  Minnesota Twins 10 Back & Chicago White Sox 11 Back

Saturday’s Winners:  Twins & White Sox

Saturday’s Losers: Red Sox, Rangers, Rays & Mariners

The bad news for the Red Sox is that they lost another game to the White Sox.  The good news that lost really didn’t hurt them to much in the standings as all three of the closet teams to them also all lost.  So the Sox didn’t lose any ground in the standings.  With the exception of both the Twins & White Sox who picked up a game, to close the gap behind Boston to within 10 & 11 games now.

• Twins at Indians at 1:05 PM
• Rangers at Orioles at 1:35 PM
• Tigers at Rays at 1:38 PM
