I think I quit predicting in these playoff threads in the last couple of years...can't get past who I'm rooting for to think about who I think will win. I'm a better predictor in NFL because I don't care about any particular teams as much.

So who I'm rooting for is Twins, Angels, Rockies, Dodgers; Twins, Rockies; Twins.

I should clarify -- I think "predicting" a 3-of-5 series is nuts. obv the Yanks are prohibitive favorites, so it's only fun to pick MIN. No guts, no glory.

Sheehan: "No one pitched Monday, few of them worked hard Tuesday, Thursday is an off day. I would have taken Duensing out facing Teixeira in the third. Turn it into a bullpen game while it's tied and hope for the best. If you have eight pitchers and can't do that, then we've officially lost it with regards to reliever usage."

― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 8 October 2009 01:05 (seventeen years ago)

I think Duensing having 84 (?) major-league innings had something to do w/ Sheehan's severity.

xpost

Wasn't the notion that rookies don't fare well in the playoffs debunked as myth a long time ago?

Duensing wasn't pitching badly, or at least I didn't see anything that even remotely warranted the need to get him out of there in the third inning. Sheehan's complaints are completely OTT.

With a lineup as strong as the Yankees' (<\TBS>), who also have L/R/S hitters up and down the order, you're going to need to play matchups and have guys pitch to one or two batters at a time, which you can't do if you pull the SP in the third inning. That's why you carry an eight-man bullpen into the playoffs against the Yankees, not because you might need to ask for seven innings from your bullpen as soon as the starter gives up a run or two.

I think Girardi was just toying with the Twins last night after Sabathia left the game, I mean what was the point of all those pitching changes? It's as if half of his bullpen wanted to get their kicks getting the Twins to make outs, like they were taking turns at the karaoke machine or something.

2007 ALDS: Indians vs Yankees

― Andy K, Thursday, 8 October 2009 18:17 (seventeen years ago)

Judging from that last called strike on Mauer, this series is over.

wow, what an idiot

How the hell did Burnett manage to walk Delmon Young?

― Alex in SF, Friday, 9 October 2009 23:57 (seventeen years ago)

clutch ground rule double there, did you see how he placed the ball just right so it would bounce over the wall?

― omar little, Saturday, 10 October 2009 00:04 (seventeen years ago)

lol

a-rod!

― we beat so many gimp (k3vin k.), Saturday, 10 October 2009 00:13 (seventeen years ago)

hits very much out of character

― omar little, Saturday, 10 October 2009 00:14 (seventeen years ago)

Gardenhire pulls his pitcher two batters too late ... it's becoming a pattern for him this postseason.

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 10 October 2009 00:15 (seventeen years ago)

yup, that reggie jackson, vaunted master of the rbi single

"the Yankees chose to start their series on Wednesday because of the extra off-day ..."

No shit sherlock, what other reason would there be? "House" is on Tuesday nights and Girardi didn't want to miss it?

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 10 October 2009 00:23 (seventeen years ago)

Why does Kubel suddenly suck?

― Andy K, Saturday, 10 October 2009 00:41 (seventeen years ago)

nick punto always reminds me of 'sacapuntas' which im pretty sure means pencil sharpener but we always used 2 say in spanish class cuz it sounds really durty

it was hilarious to hear darling go

"how often do you see a guy get hurt and his replacement comes in and is the hero of the game?"

like... never in my life?

― it takes a nation of 51 to hold us back (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 10 October 2009 01:00 (seventeen years ago)

jeter's ground rule double was to right field, that ground ball out was to the left side. he's keeping the twins on their toes, letting them know he can hit to all fields at any given time.

― omar little, Saturday, 10 October 2009 01:11 (seventeen years ago)

i'm sure matt holliday is enjoying the company here

― it takes a nation of 51 to hold us back (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 10 October 2009 02:03 (seventeen years ago)

nonetheless, that was pretty clutch by jeter to telepathically guide the ball into centerfield - he wasn't going to take that IBB lying down!

― it takes a nation of 51 to hold us back (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 10 October 2009 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

you gotta be fucking kidding me

― govern yourself accordingly, Saturday, 10 October 2009 02:14 (seventeen years ago)

The Yankees are carrying three catchers? Uhh ...

Mauer robbed by the umps -- I seriously don't understand how the umps always blow these sorts of calls in the playoffs. The line umps only have to make like two calls per game and they always find a way to fuck them up.

what a disaster for baseball

― fleetwood (max), Saturday, 10 October 2009 02:24 (seventeen years ago)

The Yanks are down to Chad Gaudin in their bullpen.

Love how a team spends $200M to try to win the World Series and the game might come down to Chad Gaudin throwing to Francisco Cervelli.

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 10 October 2009 02:24 (seventeen years ago)

But whatev, F U Twins if you can't score here.

yes, F U Twins.

I'm with Joe Sheehan re umpiring: "Bring on the machines." It's just horrendous.

at least we'll all remember the night Teixeira became a true Yankee

― Your Favorite Saturday Night Thing (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 10 October 2009 02:42 (seventeen years ago)

"The Twins reached base by hit, walk, or hit batsman 21 times, the Yankees only 10 times. The Twins stranded every runner in baseball history this side of Goose Goslin. If Kirby Puckett were still alive, they would have stranded him, too. Rickey Henderson in his prime could not have scored for the Twins on this particular night."

words I did not expect to hear on this broadcast

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 12 October 2009 00:55 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not sure it's a smart idea to have Pavano pitching to the heart of the order in the 7th inning of a must-win game, but I guess Gardenhire's not too confident in his bullpen after Game 2.

hey how come a couple shots of twins fans crying but no afternoon shots of reaffirming lifewater that are red sox fan tears?
lame double standard.

― sanskrit, Monday, 12 October 2009 02:38 (seventeen years ago)

wait when do the yankees lose one in the dome? that shit is basically mandatory.

Absolutely untrue. I'm glad we've finally retired the Metrodome so we can finally put to rest the ridiculous assumption that the monstrosity is some sort of secret weapon for the Twins. I'm not overly familiar with the stats, but I'd be surprised if they've won even remotely close to half of their home games during the entirety of their 2000s postseason appearances.

'Amazin' debt for Miracle Met Ron Darling

Tax agencies in two states and the IRS have former New York Mets pitcher and TBS analyst Ron Darling caught in a squeeze play. Darling, who helped call the Yankees-Twins game Sunday, owes $544,197 in state and federal taxes, records show.

The 49-year-old Hawaii native earned $17.9 million during a 13-season career, according to Baseball-Reference.com. He won a World Series ring with the Mets in 1986.

What's owed:

* The IRS filed a $71,076 lien against Darling on July 29 in the New York City Register's office.
* The state of New York filed a $12,664 tax warrant against Darling on May 23 in the New York County Clerk's office.
* The state of California filed an $84,860 lien against Darling on June 6, 2008, in Contra Costa County Court.
* The IRS filed a $375,597 lien against Darling on May 15, 2008, in the New York City Register's office.

His side:

Darling could not be reached for comment. Turner Sports spokesman Jeff Pomeroy said he left the retired pitcher a cell-phone message and forwarded an e-mail from The Tax Watchdog.

"We will not comment as this is a personal issue," Pomeroy wrote in an e-mail message.

three weeks pass...

Was just watching the end-of season highlight reel on MLB Channel and had forgotten how terribly the Twins played in this series. Like, miserably.
