A great game, although I thought Leland was pressing it too far to leave Rodney in the game that long. I think he got the last 2 outs in the 9th, pitched the 10th and 11th and came back out for the 12th.

He threw 48 pitches and that's a lot for a closer. He had nothing left at the end. Lots of off speed stuff at 82 MPH vs. 98 MPH early on.

Brian Duensing, the X factor goes tomorrow night. He is a rookie who pitched most of the year in Rochester while the Twins screwed around with Liriano and Perkins. He is a lefty and is fearless. Sure the Yanks are the best team in baseball but there is something to be said for momentum in baseball and O-Cab was the ignitor we needed. He's been on 4 playoff teams in 5 years with 4 different teams and he has been the spark. Plus Joe Maurer is the best player in the American League and arguably (sorry Pujols) all of baseball.
Duensing is also a former Husker so you know I'll be pulling for the Twins tomorrow...of course I'll pull for anyone playing against the Yankees...even if former Husker Joba is pitching.

Much respect to Detroit tough way to end the season I thought they had it. Only question now is do the Yankees have a chance?

Congrats to the Twins, it was a great game to watch, every pitch had me on edge. Tigers should have never allowed it to reach a 163rd game, they were their own worst enemy down the stretch. But as far as a tie-breaker goes, that was exciting baseball.

I will be going by my usual rooting in this year's post season--ABP (anyone but phillies).

Congrats to the Dodgers who moved on in the battle of future HOF managers.

And I'm sure they are saying silent thanks to the sickest man in America, Matt Holliday!

Poor Jonathan Papelbon! I bet he's never felt worse than he feels now. :(

Boy, did that team get old fast. They need to be rebuilt, not tinkered with at this point.

when you throw 187 consecutive fastballs, big league hitters will eventually catch on.

Red Sox were a huge disappointment in that series--Best pitchers beaten, hitting went completely south, and bullpen star failed!

I think Terry should have let Wagner finish the 8th & Pap start the 9th.

tbob 10-11-2009 08:26 PM
Despite the fact the Yankees were more talented and more experienced, it was the fact the Twins had some really stupid players that turned the series. Nick Punto has been a bonehead all year and he and Carlos Gomez have IQs smaller than their hat sizes.
Congrats to Pavano for pitching his guts out tonight. He deserved a better fate.
It figures that the steroid poster boys, A-Rod and Petit, would doom our guys. :mad:

No movement on it today. Awful. He was working on a splitter earlier in the year, but no sign of it.

Jeff,

As Tip O'Neill said, "All politics is local."


So is all baseball spin. On Saturday, The Dallas Morning News story on the Friday night Yankees-Twins game had a classic headline.

Ex-Rangers Power Yankees
