Re: ALDS 2010: Yankees vs Twins
The only reason the Twins could have a chance to beat the Yankees is because Joe Nathan is still on the DL. :r

Truth of the matter is you need the homer to score, this, and the utter lack of starting pitching is going to be your downfall. |

The Yankees and Rays actually match up better than you think. Both have had almost the same issues leading up to the playoffs, should be an interesting series once they finish their respective first round opponents. |
Re: ALDS 2010: Yankees vs Twins
This time tomorrow the Yankees will have 1-0 series lead.

TWINS!
Yes, they (NY) have the "been there, done that" attitude and experience factor. The twins have been through some adversity this year and found their stride in the second half. When the pressure was off after they clinched the division, they seemed to relax and almost mail it in. Can they crank it back up again? I hope so. Will they be able to? Who knows. The Twins do have a stronger bullpen than they have had in the past. There are 3 guys there that have at least 20 saves this season, and a decent lefty/righty ratio out there. The new home stadium could be a factor, and having home field is a bigger deal than it seems on the surface. It's not going into the cold of the NY stadium and that environment. While NY still had a great record, there is the possibility that age is catching up with them. That the wear and tear of the season has worn them down some. Neither team comes in hot. You can argue that NY played better teams at the end of the year, and that may be true, but they had more incentive to win those games, and they still didn't turn it on. As for Pettite, he's coming off an injury. Has he truly found his form yet? If he hasn't, it doesn't really matter that he's always turned it on in the playoffs. They'll bunt against CC and piss him off and throw him off his game. :r:r:r All that being said, I like the Twins chances here and think it will be a much closer series than NY fans expect it to be. It would not surprise me at all if this one goes 5 games, and is literally decided by a couple runs in total differential through the series. Go Twins!!!! |

Sorry Ryan but got to root against the Yankees ... Go Twins ... well at least until football heats back up this weekend.

Re: ALDS 2010: Yankees vs Twins
If I had to bet money on this series, I would probably say Yankees in five (unfortunately). It's no secret that the Yankees have owned us the last few years. I'm really hoping that this Twins squad with a beefed up offense, stronger bullpen and no Joe Nathan can actually get it done this time around. Losing Justin Morneau to a concussion earlier in the season isn't going to make this any easier either.

Let's Go Yankees!!!!

Re: ALDS 2010: Yankees vs Twins
The Twinkies will have a problem with the cold nights in October. First year with home games outside since the 70's. I think this will possibly hurt their bats.

I forgot about the 2 years in the 80's:r Let's just say they haven't played an outdoor night game in October since at least 82'. Can it snow in October up in Minnesooooota?:r The Yanks are more acclimated to cold October weather. They play in October almost every year. |
Re: ALDS 2010: Yankees vs Twins
Well, at least AJ Burnett got yanked from the rotation. He sucks.
The way the Yankees finished the season and lost 2 out of 3 to the Red Sux, they should feel fortunate to still be playing. |
