The NL teams have the day off as they travel to either Colorado or St. Louis for games 3 and 4.
Twins @ Yankees - 6:07 PM (New York leads 1-0)
The Twins will send Nick Blackburn to face the Yankees lineup in an effort to tie the series 1-1. Although most of the baseball loving population wants the Twins to defeat the Yankees, we all also know it's unlikely. Let's go Twins! A.J. Burnett isn't all that scary. Plus Jorge Posada is mad at him. If a True Yankee is mad at a New Yankee, doesn't it seem likely that that universe would intercede to ensure the New Yankee suffers mightily? I think that's how the legend goes.
Red Sox @ Angels - 9:37 PM (Los Angeles leads 1-0)
If you listened to Buck Martinez last night then you know the reason the Angels won game 1 is because John Lackey and Jeff Mathis have a good relationship while Jon Lester and Victor Martinez barely know each other. JASON VARITEK WILL YOU PLEASE STEP UP AND SAVE RED SOX NATION?

Yeah the word on the street is that Varitek will barely been seen in the postseason
It was just funny how much Buck went on about the pitcher-catcher relationship.

The annoucers were all
“Jeter just missed belting one out to center field”……. um no, it was a fly ball caught before the warning track.

The Brandon Fahey of the Twins just drove in the go ahead run. Phil Hughes is no longer a true Yankee.

Stop me if you've heard this one...
A blatantly blown call in the outfield benefits the Yankees in the playoffs. Eat shit, Phil Cuzzi.

People say managers don't have an effect on the game?
BULLSHIT. Gardenhire should be fired for this decision tonight.
Mark Guerrier gets through the top of the order on 12 pitches in the 8th. He’s totally dealin’.
So why does Gardenhire go to Nathan in the 9th? Because of some bullshit about “bullpen roles”. “He’s our closer. That’s his job” or some such crap. never mind that you had a guy out there who was clearly on fire.
Of course if all other things are equal, nathan should be brought into the game. But you know what? Teixieira’s lifetime stats against Nathan before his AB: 7-for-12. A*Rod’s past against nathan: 6-for-12.
YA THINK MAYBE NATHAN ISN’T THE BEST CHOICE TO FACE THOSE TWO GUYS?
I can’t, for the life of me, understand how a manager, who is paid to make these decisions, pulls a guy who jsut had a 12 pitch inning to put in a guy who is clearly owned by the next two batters.
Gardenhire, YOU lost this game for your team tonight.,

Yup
TBS flashed those stats as Nathan was warming up and I said, “Oh God, this won’t be good…”
However, Minnesota also left on a shit ton of baserunners. And there was that baserunning error/heads-up throw by Swisher. This was just a horribly painful game to watch.
