Indians 5, Twins 1: Cleveland Clinches Wild Card Spot as Jimenez Dominates Minnesota

Even when there were things to play for down the stretch, the Minnesota Twins couldn't pull out of their late season tailspin. The team was 8-20 in September, and won their last series the second through the fourth when taking three o four from the Astros. The last three series saw the Twins facing three teams fighting for post-season spots and went 1-10, allowing all three organizations to clinch their October berths.

Minnesota was 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position, but that hardly seems to tell any kind of a story by this point, other than "this team really doesn't have a lot of talent right now". Ubaldo Jimenez deserves all the credit in the world, and that's really all I care to say on the subject.

Because, really...did anyone even watch this game? I didn't. I was in London watching the Vikings. And when I start to feel bad about that, I just stop. You can't hurt me anymore, 2013 Minnesota Twins.

I'll see you all back here tomorrow, where we start to rebuild our semblance of self-belief and self-determination. We'll get through this. Together.

Let's hug it out.
