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

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

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.

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.)
Have fun man.

Seriously
Could that be any more of a fluff piece?
But Cal Ripken flipping off Reggie jackson as a kid?! Awesome.
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.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
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.
7 up and 7 down? Doees he mean last 7 retired? (I missed the start, remember)
If so, that’s a weird way to put it.
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.
On the bright side...
Blackburn is hot tonight.

Go TWINS!@
that works?
i have the 4 windows and the live radio which is 5 seconds ahead.
WOW Chip Carey sounded WAY too excited (from a professional, neutral standpoint) about the Yankees getting out of that.
It's working for me
I had to tweak it, radio is about 2 seconds behind. Which doesn’t seem all that noticeable. I have never done this before today.
some more
Delayed the video some more and now audio is about half a second behind. It is better than TBS for sure!

It frustrates me how we are so intimated by this stadium and team. We need to get it in our minds that they are just a baseball team.
Each playoff loss just makes it worse though.
At some point you’ll get a team with no connections who doesn’t care though.
What we need...
We need Coach Norman Dale to break out the tape measure and show us that the basket it 10 feet high and the free throw line is the same distance as our home floor back in Hickory.

my understanding,
is that the new stadium’s field dimensions are nearly identical to the old one.

IMO
they are. Never mentioned number of outs, kept saying we played yesterday, very nondescriptive on the plays, and mispronounced a couple of Twins names
how about 1-6-3?

Arod has a ‘clutch 2 out hit’ while Harris had a ‘seeing eye triple’

It pisses me off
that on plays in the field Caray always has to say “Derek Jeter” never just “Jeter”
Mauer to Umpire
“Geeze, Sir, I hope your okay. I bet that Pitcher is real aweful sorry for hitting you there.”
I always loved that one.

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.
I cant get it to show up

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.
