Phil Hughes was masterful tonight. Mo made quick work of the Twins in the 9th in spite of a 5 run lead. Nick Swisher was the Bronx Bomber on fire tonight (see above game line). Robinson Cano continues to destroy anything on a pitchers mound. Marcus Thames somehow stays prepared enough to crack the occasional line-up card and he's seized the moment with almost every opportunity. And lastly, how about that bullpen! They (Logan and Robertson) were brilliant saving Kerry Woods backside.
The Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays play Game Four Sunday. Texas leads the series two games to one. The Yankees await the winner of that series to play in the....

The Yanks own the Twins.
ReplyDeleteThings are working out perfectly for NY. With Texas and Tampa Bay still playing, CC Sabbathia is getting some extra rest.
I picked Tampa Bay and Philly to go to the World Series, before the playoffs started, with the Phillies winning it all. NYY might get there instead of TB, but I still like the Phillies to win it all.
I agree, I think the Phils are kind of unstoppable. Too much starting pitching. Gotta be hating life if you're the Twins. You do everything right as an organization and ya can't get out of the first round; mostly because of the Yankees. What can some of these teams do? Only the Yankees can afford to bench someone like AJ Burnett. The Twins would have been forced to pitch him.
