[Pebbles]

Pitching Match-Ups for the 1st three games
New York(Sabathia) @ Minnesota(Liriano)
New York(Pettitte) @ Minnesota(Pavano)
Minnesota(Duensing) @ New York (Hughes)


Hoping the Twins can take at least 2 games out of the first three.

There will be a hit placed on Pavano if he pitches wins against the Yankees lol.

You are probably correct about that.

The key to the series is game 1. If the Twins play well and win game 1, the Twins should win the series. They need to get the "monkey" off their backs.

[mntwinsfan]

They just need to win period! This team is good enough to beat the Yankees, now it's time to step up and beat them. We have been the Yankee's ***** for well far too long. Winning the games at home is a must for any chance on winning the series.

[love_that_reefer]

The Yankees just hurt your chances by not putting Burnett on the playoff roster

[BuckFoston]

He's on the roster; just not starting in the rotation.

Perfect scenerio. CC gets rocked in game 1 and is out by inning 3 and in comes AJ and all Yankee confidence goes down the drain.

Game one win or bust for the Twins!

i dont know, are we allowed to do game threads? havent seen one yet, maybe people are just busy. but ill kill some time playing around with this one.

yankees went 1-2-3 in the 1st... span singled, bunted over to 2nd by hudson, mauer k'd and then cano made a nice play on the other side of 2nd to put young away to get sabathia out of the 1st unscathed.

arod flew out, cano grounded out so far in the 2nd... marcus thames up.

[Hammer]

thames walks, posada up

[Hammer]

posada with a put my ass out, other way single... 1st and 2nd 2 outs for granderson

[Hammer]

curtis 1st pitch swinging... hard hit ground ball right to cuddyer, takes it to the bag himself. 5-6-7 for the twins in the 2nd... thome, cuddyer, kubel i believe.

[Hammer]

sabathia drills thome on a 1-2 count... came really up and in, but obviously on 1-2 hes not trying to hit him there. thome did give a look out to the mound.

[Hammer]

2 run homer michael cuddyer... 2-0 twins
