....if they ever decide to pull their heads out of the their collective asses

 

From CNNSI:

 

BQ Who has the most to gain in the next two months?

If the Twins are ever going to make their move, it's going to be now. Sitting 6 1/2 games behind Kansas City for the AL Central lead -- and 3 1/2 in back of second-place Chicago -- Minnesota has a very favorable schedule to close the season. No more Yankees. No more Red Sox. No more A's. No more Mariners. The Twins' hard work outside of the division is finished.

While the Royals and White Sox still must play each other 12 more times -- not to mention series with the Yankees -- the Twins can make up some serious ground. And fast. Consider the rest of their schedule: 13 with the Tigers, 12 with the Indians, six with the Orioles, Angels and Rangers ... and seven each with the two teams they're chasing, the Royals and White Sox.

 

The Royals and White Sox are the only teams remaining on the Twins' schedule that are above .500. In fact, the average winning percentage of Minnesota's final 57 opponents is .425. For Chicago, it's .512; for Kansas City, it's .450).

 

But to win the Central, the Twins still will have to figure out a way to beat the Royals and White Sox consistently. This season, Minnesota is 4-8 vs. Kansas City, 5-7 vs. Chicago. But the rest of the schedule certainly plays into the Twins' hands.
