Ok, the yearly warmup of beating the Twins is over, now time to carry that great hitting into the ALCS.

Didn't even seem like the Twins showed up for this series.

You're telling me!!! Sigh. When will this franchise stop pissing it down their leg in the postseason? They wouldn't know how to get a clutch hit if it bit them on the ass. Like all but one team...there's always next year.

Go Yankees!!!

I don't want to kick the Twinkies when they're down - as I've said, I like and respect the team and organization - but it seems they may have made the same error a lot of fans, and so-called experts too, did by assuming that the Yankee pitching staff was C.C. plus a couple of other guys. Turns out, C.C. pitched the worst of all, though good enough to win Game One. Andy did what he's done more often than any other hurler in the post-season, and Hughes showed you why he won 18 games this year . . . and why the Yanks have been protecting him for so long now.

Besides, it's October, and time for NY to shine.

I read some crap online saying they thought Girardi purposely had the team lose games in September so they could play the Twins in the Wild Card round.

Total nonsense. Although it is true that Joe may have pampered the starters a bit to get them ready for October, it is important to note that, in the last 10 games, the Twins went 2-8 and the Rangers 6-4. And this is not to mention that the Rays weren't exactly burning up the joint themselves late in the season, and only finished a game in front of NY. So such a plan on Girardi's part could have blown up in his face, and Yanks could have quite easily faced Tejas instead, had things gone just slightly different.

I hope this week off for the Yankees does not hurt them.
