This game reminded me of a carbon copy of our games against the Twins. We get the lead. We lose the lead, we can't get hits then in key situations.

Pretty good bunch of games to start the post season.

 

looking forward to a yankee/phillies world series, from the POV that I want to see the 2 best teams wage battle if my team can't be in it.

 

gardenhire is a yankee b****.

Not to take anything away from the managerial skill of Torre or Girardi, but goddamn, having Mo Rivera in the bullpen makes postseason managing so much easier. He just throws the same damn pitch in the same spot and it doesnt even matter.

You really think the Yankees are the best team in the AL on any night when Captain Cheeseburger isn't pitching?

Wood slats = More better grindy

Speaking of Wood, Kerry must be 50lbs lighter than when he was with the Cubs. How far was his locker from Sammy's?

Within 1 bat swing of Sammy's stereo.

Twins=postseason failure...LOL!!

I wouldn't count them out yet. CC is the only starting pitcher to fear on the Yankees staff.

Giant wooden slats are the most uncomfortable seating surface they could have built IMO. Its very strange. I've been to that stadium and although its better than the dome, I still think they really made some bad design choices. I dont get the whole idea of keeping the outfield fans so far from the field, I like stadiums where the first row is closer to the playing surface.

 

 

And down goes the twins.

 

An idea like that must have come from coaching legend Bud Grant.

I don't know about you guys but I absolutly hate Carl Pavano, not even sure why, I think it's his mustache. Let's do this Yankees.

Derek Jeter will win toniht's game with a walk-off intangible.

 

 

Also, it would be quite ironic to see Pavano dominate the Yankees.

I'm done watching this series. I hate the Twins. But I can't f***ing cheer for the Yankees. I don't know how unless it clearly benefited the Sox.

Pettitte was getting squeezed that inning.

 

It's rare to see the Yankees on the wrong side of close calls.

Pettite is money in the playoffs, I hope the Yanks win tonight and sweep these a-holes.

Yeah, I'd argue Pettite is more of a safebet in the playoffs than Sabathia.

Lance Berkman dominating tonight

LOL Gardy, worst playoff manager ever. Arguing balls and strikes after your pitcher got TWO calls on balls WAY outside the zone and didnt get one on the black inside. Go back to the clubhouse.

Gardy just got tossed, trying ANYTHING to fire up his chokers, lol...Yanks up 3-2, GO YANKEES!!!

ejected from a playoff game? bad form, gardy.

Kubel just got lucky that ball didn't get past him or else this game would've been over...Yanks with a 4-2 lead looking for more.

get the Twins a body bag. Hope the Rangers can take down the Yanks tho!

ejected from a playoff game? bad form, gardy.

Why not? He was right and the call already cost his team the lead. May as well try to put some fire in them.

Twins should have known better.

Sorry that pitch was right on the black after two pitches way outside got him two strikes. Not sure overreacting that early in a playoff game was the right call at all. He showed desperation on a desperate team in a desperate stadium. I think it was 100% the wrong thing to do.

Mo is so damn good.
