Congratulations Twins: Alexi Casilla's Walk-Off Wins It

Well, that was probably the craziest one-game playoff ever.

First thing's first: for all the criticism this game got for not being on prime time TV (including from myself), it may be a good thing that it wasn't. How many people would have stuck around for the conclusion if that game started at 8 and ended past midnight?

At any rate, the Twins pulled out a victory over the Detroit Tigers, claiming the AL Central in the process. I'll be rooting for the Twins in this year's postseason, for no reason other than the fact that I like small market teams and Joe Mauer.

Also, big congratulations to Alexi Casilla. It has to feel good to come off the bench and hit a walk-off to win the game for your team. Especially when you were hitting below the Mendoza line all season before that moment.
