WHAT THEY MIGHT BE DOING TODAY ...

Donovan McNabb might be hoping his car never breaks down, considering how much he hates talking about mechanics.

Ron Gardenhire might be wondering where that Delmon Young was all season.

Bill Smith might be wondering the same thing.

Delmon Young is playing in the postseason for the third consecutive year -- with the Twins in 2009 and 2010, and with the Tigers this year. Here are his stat lines those three years (to date for 2011):

2010: .333 BA, 0 HR, 0 RBI
