Of course, if I'm the White Sox, I might strongly strongly consider just trying to ditch this game soon... I'm a billion games up in the division and no one's catching me. It's one game, and keeping my rotation in tact is more important to me than winning this game. I don't want to hurt my arms for the playoff run because of a marathon game... so losing this one wouldn't be so bad for the Sox right now. Twins have no choice but to pull out the stops. Besides, the Twins bullpen guys have thrown a ton of pitches (with the exception being Rincon), and these guys can't be available for long tomorrow... at least the White Sox guys have, for the most part, thrown a reasonable number of innings and all of the key guys will be available to pitch tomorrow if need be.
