I’ll take my chances with the Twins starters thank you. Too many times this year I’ve seen a good, or even a fair starter shut the Yanks down for 6 innings. Most of the Yankees comebacks & walk-offs have come against mediocre middle relievers & closers. I can see Verlander & Jackson both going 7 innings with the lead if they have their good stuff. Give me the Twins, I think The Yankees pitchers can keep them at 4 runs which gives the Yankees a chance to win. I hate that Metrodome though.

I’d rather face the best team. So whoever wins, I’ll be happy with because they are the superior team with the better record.

i didn’t read any of the comments, just catching up on weekend posts.

i’m shocked more people want(ed) to face the twins.

talked about this with family yesterday, and we all wanted to face the tigers on the fact that the twins are on a huge roll right now. i don’t want any part of them!

Any thoughts on when first pitch will be. Does 6:07 mean the game starts at that time, or will first pitch be closer to 6:30 or 6:40?

Also, am I correct that the yankees will likely choose Wednesday as the opener?

Thanks

I can’t decide which team I want the Yankees to play.
Would be a great pleasure to face pavano in the playoffs wouldn’t?
ESPN can not stop talking about the tigers starting pitching. Have to say, that puts the fear in me a bit.
The twinkies right now are hot. Do we want to play a hot team right now? That is a question to ask yourself.

This season has been defined by our bullpen holding down the other team and allowing our offence late inning heroics.

That being the case, put me down for Detroit who have a much shakier bullpen than the Twins.

Is there a feeling Molina may catch a game this series? If so I think its a huge mistake caving in on this. They will need both Matsui`s and Posada`s bat in the line up. Matsui hits leftys as well as anyone. He is clutch

Good article. But check out the comments. Some idiot says what ‘aroid’ did was worse. Um I don’t think so. Miguel could have killed someone with his actions! He blew a .24 at 6am! I can’t imagine how much higher it was at his peak drinking!

“I think the problems started the day that AJ was wild and full of wild pitches/passed balls.”

posada is pretty good on balls in the dirt when he wants to be. i think the difference between the two of them on balls in the dirt is negligible. posada can sometimes get lazy when he’s over worked and molina “ole’s” ball in the dirt too much for my taste.

i didn’t see that game, but any tipping point can start something. that’s why it’s a tipping point right?

i’m really watching what girardi is going to do here with burnett. it’ll tell us a lot of what he’s thinking . if he simply thought molina’s overall abilities outweighed posada’s he’d have molina in there every game.

if in fact he’s in there only with burnett, i read that to mean girardi thinks burnett is the problem and not posada.
