They certainly are a pretty awful combo.

Re: ALDS: Twins vs Yankees
Amen. My favorite moment was when they had a graphic up showing Joe Mauer having an OBP about 30 points higher than anyone else in the AL, yet they gushed over Jeter and then mentioned the faint MVP chant that some Yankees fans had started. LOL.Comment

Re: ALDS: Twins vs Yankees
BTW I just LOOVE the selective memory of Chip Carey early in the game saying how Texeira never skipped a beat. I guess Carey forget about the first 2 months of the season when Tex struggled mightily and he only started to round back into form because of A-Rod protecting him in the lineup.
One of the guys said that the Yankees kept Phil Hughes in the bullpen because they realized they shouldn't send him down after his big 8 inning start against the Rangers.
That's not how it went. The Yankees asked Hughes if he would prefer to start in the minors or throw in the bullpen. Hughes said: "I want to help the major league club any way I can."
And that's how he became the 8th inning guy."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: ALDS: Twins vs Yankees
Sandman made a great point but also I thought CC looked a lot more calm on the mound. The guy is not the most comfortable looking pitcher when he goes out there but last night he looked very comfortable in his own skin and just pitched his game.
So I have to give him credit for that.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: ALDS: Twins vs Yankees
It was never about how much work but rather how much emotion he put into his pitching. Every game he pitched in the playoffs, if he struck someone out or got a big out, he'd be jumping up and down and screaming...he looked much more relaxed in NYC...which is stunning to me.Too Old To Game Club

Re: ALDS: Twins vs Yankees
I hope A.J. has his A game tonight. The media has definitely pumped up the drama about no Posada behind the dish tonight. Hopefully the Yanks do not need any offense from Molina because it is pretty much not there.“The saddest part of life is when someone who gave you your best memories becomes a memory”Comment
