2006 AL Final Standings

October 2, 2006

  My Detroit Tigers clinched the AL Central title on the last day of the season. The Minnesota Twins ended up with the Wild Card spot. The powerhouse Chicago White Sox are left out of the post season.      The New York Yankees won 107 games and are the prohibitive favorites to win the AL Pennant. The Yankees offense has been incredible, tops in the league. The LA Angels managed to win the AL West with the best pitching in the league. 

  The most disappointing season for any team had to be the Oakland A's, actual winners in the West. The A's were never really in contention all season. They finished 15 games under their actual. The Boston Red Sox were also never involved in the race for their division title and finished under .500, 9 games worse than their actual.
