    it's not even that the Yanks are good, they are of course, it's that the Twins are paper tigers at best. They don't even have a #2 starter on their team, putting rookies out there who debuted 2 months ago as their starter in a must win.

    Feel bad for Duffey. Local guy having a killer year. Few bad breaks but very costly.

    I know during the season the Stros are basically done with BP when the gates open. Visitors go 2nd. Not sure about the postseason.

    Dobnak pitched really well for them down the stretch, not sure why they didn't go with Odorizzi though. Losing Pineda really hurt.

    this is the dream lineup, Maldonado is the only offensive weak spot

    I just hope he's focused out there. He looks very aloof out there way too often for my liking, especially in the field and on the bases.

    Damnit looks like the Yanks will be well rested for the ALCS as the Twins decided to not show up.

    I love this. Tucker gives us our best lineup. And unlike yordan, he isn't really expected to do much from the 8th spot so he will have less pressure

    Yeah the aloofness bothers me a tad. Good thing he's successfully stealing bases when he attempts. He's already a leg up on most his teammates in that regard.

    I took the chance and they were batting from 5:15-6. Great experience so far with the kiddos after a long drive down from North Dallas.

    I hope I am wrong and Miley gets a chance to make a contribution for us. I honestly don'r know when a good time to use him would be given the slump he is in. If we do use him he needs to be on a very, very short leash.

    Astros may be even more rested since they play at like 9am on Monday and the Yankees play that night.
