Detroit @ Minny

that'll do it. HUGE out. remains 3-2

 

If the Twins get a quick 1-2-3 expect them to come and grab ahold of the lead the next half inning.

 

If Detroit hangs on here's who NY will be facing at home:
Jackson Gm 1 DET/MIN @ NYY Wed Oct. 7 6:07 p.m. TBS
Verlander Gm 2 DET/MIN @ NYY Fri Oct. 9 6:07 p.m. TBS

Both on 5 days rest. I like the matchup in game 1. Have we decided our SP for game 2 yet?

 

Past three days. Last day of the regular season was Sunday.

 

Jackson
Verlander
Porcello

for Detroit, if they win.

For the Yankees:

Pettitte
Sabathia
Burnett (with Molina catching)


Game 1 is tomorrow at 6 PM EDT at Yankees Stadium

 

Yup, you're right. Jackson verse CC is a great game 1 match-up. And if Burnett doesn't walk more than 2-3 batters, and strikes out around 7, I think we have a really good chance of getting to and beating Verlander and going up 2-0.

Even though Verlander pitched a gem against the Yanks earlier in the year, I can see a few lefties getting over the fence against him.

 

Thanks. I agree with you, that matches up well for NY given the circumstances. Love having Andy on the mound for a pivotal game 3. I still would rather play the Twins though.

 

Gets a sharply-hit single. He's better than you think.

 

I know he is not needed for the Yanks, but if there were a guy other than the obvious players for the yanks to pick up, I would love for us to have Curtis Granderson. Huge fan

Last guy I said that about was Tex.... thank YOU Cashmen

 

Orlando Cabrera with a two run shot off Miner.

 

God damn Cabrera... Screwed the Yanks while he was with the Sox and Angels, now he's trying to make it happen with the Twins too

 

he had a particularly bad year against lefties, but that's not the player he is.

 

then Mauer singles

 

Ordonez ties it at 4 with a HR! What a game!

 

Minnesota does what all teams SHOULD do and brings Nathan into a tie game with one out in the 8th inning and two men on.

 

Proper bullpen usage pays off, Nathan works out of the jam.
