ALDS Game 2: Minnesota Twins & New York Yankees

Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees, Oct 9, 2009 6:07 PM EDT


First Pitch:  5:07 CDT
TV:  TBS.  Guh.
Know Thine Enemy: Pinstripe Alley
Postseason Antacid of Choice: Tums Cocoa & Creme Smoothies


The Twins need to win 3 out of 4 against the Yankees to turn the collective baseball world on its ear.  Realistically, they HAVE to steal this one here.  So, on with it, then.

Starting pitchers:


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2009 - Nick Blackburn 11-11 33 33 3 0 0 0 205.2 240 103 92 25 41 98 4.03 1.37


If you would've told me in August that the starting pitcher I wanted on the mound to take out the Yankees on the road in the playoffs would be Nick Blackburn, I'd have told you pull my other leg, as it plays showtunes.  But here we are.  Blackburn's been superlative of late.  He needs to be better than that tonight.


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2009 - A.J. Burnett 13-9 33 33 1 0 0 0 207.0 193 99 93 25 97 195 4.04 1.40


It's Burnett's first playoff start.  The conventional wisdom is that the Twins need to get to him early and be patient.  In other news, Carlos Gomez and Delmon Young are in the lineup.  /starts drinking

Lineups:



 

Gardy plugs Go-Go into center and moves Kubel to DH.  Good call, says Howard.  Why not, says I.

Enjoy the biggest game of the season, everybody.

I hate my workplace more than ever tonight.

Blackie’s gonna bring his A-game tonight (at least…that’s my hope). A split in NY would be huge! :)

definitely agreed.

he seems like a pretty cool guy. With a nice beard.

Speaking of beards...

Why aren’t the Twins growing playoff beards? That seems like something Cuddyer or Redmond would have spearheaded. Playoff mustaches would also be acceptable.

Baker would be excused until he hits puberty, of course.

I have to go to work now.

No TV/radio there. Because of that, there will be no customers. I will make 20 bucks in 5 hours waiting on 4 tables while following the game as best I can on a sports-oblivious Moroccan server’s internet phone. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck. I gotta con the guy who’s supposed to be first cut into letting me go. Somehow, some way. (On the other hand, I don’t have to listen to any of the available commentators, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. Sort of like Rick Porcello’s pitches, which by the way are disguised as the pitches of a mere 20 year old, while in fact carrying all the nasty stuff and savvy of a hurler many years his senior.)

isn't the majority of what TBS shows aside from the actual game considered 'fluff'?

I mean, I highly doubt George Lopez is an integral piece of playoff baseball.

You obviously don't understand baseball.

I mean, if it wasn’t for George Lopez’s routine about spanish women, Kirk Gibson would’ve never hit his famous walk-off in the world series.

After thinking about it

you are absolutely correct. There is no way Juan Berenguer would have been as successful in the World Series had it not been for George Lopez. I have seen the error of my ways.

I gotta say, with all the talk re: the TBS crew...

I had mlb.tv all season and watched probably a dozen mets games with the mets feed: Darling is actually not bad. Keith Hernandez, the other color guy on their broadcasts, irritates the hell outta me, so maybe it was just an “in comparison” thing.

Yeah. That's what he means

But this is from a guy who doesn’t know the difference between a go-ahead and winning run. back in 07, every game it would be the 8th or top of the 9th, and he would talk about the winning run being on base.

This is really...

…nauseating. It’s almost as if Carey and Darling have been instructed to call the game with a Yankees lean. I mean, yes, they’re clearly biased, but i’m starting to wonder if it’s “natural” or orders from the ad-execs above. It just sounds so intentional.

As a yankee fan living in Twins 3A Rochester area I can understand your love of your team. I can understand your bashing free agent signing. Not sure if Minnesota has any or not. If not then it’s ok to bash. If so, then hey, you’re just like any other big league team. But what I don’t understand is why you only single out free agents as Yankees and the problem with them in your eyes. As I see the team, I look at first the catcher position, Jorge Posada, farm system product. Short Stop, Derek Jeter, Farm system product. 2nd base, Robinson Cano, Farm system product. Center field, Malky Cabrera/Brett Gardner, Farm system products. Pitcher Andy Pettite, farm system product. Mariano Rivera, farm system product. Not to mention Phil Hughes, Phil Coke, Joba Chamberlain and so many more farm system products that have had big hands in the Yankee season. The center of the diamond are all farm system products. And at last check they are all Yankees and they all had a hand in the team winning 103 games ths year. It wasn’t just A-Rod and Mark Texiera. So lets give the Yankees farm system credit where credit is due.
