Definitely cheering for the Twins here, anyone pulling out a Homer Hanky?

 

[deepinthajeep]

We lit up Liriano last time he pitched...Hope the Yanks can get the first one w/ CC pitching. We steal one on the road, and I don't see them beating us in the Bronx.

Should be great atmosphere. Game 3 should be real important. Because its either gonna be split or The Yankees could be in a real win or go home game. I dont see the Twins losing both @ home. But hey anything can happen.

Couldn't agree more, and if Andy is on the hill I'll be psyched

Not having Home-Field hurts though.

If Girardi is smart he pitches CC game 1 and Andy game 3. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Phil pitch game 2...am I alone on that?

1. If Morneau returns at all, it wouldn't be until the ALCS. Gardenhire confirmed that.
2. Go... CC Game 1, Pettitte Game 2, Burnett Game 3, Hughes Game 4. That's just my opinion. Pettitte is a road warrior.

I'll be at Game 1

NO F***ING WAY do I pitch AJ in a game where we can clinch or our lives are at stake.

not sure how that is up for debate.

Don't believe anyone is debating this.
There is a lot more than being the better team at the moment to be favored in a series. History and experience being two of the most important. Both go to NY.

Besides that, Minnesota is 3-7 in their last ten...Neither team is hot. 

that may be the case but after Liriano, I don't trust Slowey or Baker on the road...Pavano is...Pavano

...I think the Twins bats have to carry them if they want to win but them trying to outhit the Yankees will be an uphill battle.

Why aren't you considering it will be 1-1?

I'm sorry, my mistake I left that out.

I think if it's 1-1 you give the ball to AJ

but I wouldn't be happy about it.

 

[guttagetsbusy]

I'm hoping the pitching gets better come Wednesday

 

[ray mulla]

were going to win this series

road to 28

Twins fans are you surprised Slowey isn't pitching infront of Duensing or Blackburn???

 

[priam]

Wish we had home-field though. Twins are like 1-8 at the Stadium.

 

[jpzx]

Definitely not in front of Duensing. Dude has been lights out since August.

Blackburn is a toss-up... to be honest I'd rather have Baker in over either of them. Blackburn found himself after being called up from Triple-A a couple months ago, but recently has struggled. Slowey is so up and down you don't know what you're going to get. Baker has pitched well recently, so if I were Ron Gardenhire he would be my #4 starter.

 

[mez 0ne]

I don't know if the Twins could match up with that Yankees offense yet again, but the Yankees pitching has been sus for a bit.

You have to start Hughes for Game 2 IMO, with Andy Game 3 and AJ Game 4.

 

[venom lyrix]

Baker over Slowey JPZ??????

no way

Sure Baker can get some K's but he is a walking 4 earned runs. At least dude always gives up hard long hits.

 

[pysch]

C.C, Andy, Hughes?

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

stop 1 in the road to 28

we take out the twins in 4

TGFTY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cedric ceballos 1995 lakers]

part of me is thinking twins in 5 but im gonna go yankees in 4

 

[sircharles2ol3]

Hype for this series.. I think Yanks still got it.. I say our chances are better against the Twins than Rangers right now.

 

[hymen man]

Go Yanks.

 

[proshares]

Only time AJ should see the mound this postseason is if it's 2-1, 3-1 or 3-0 in the ALCS or WS.
