Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted October 5, 2004 I simply cannot see the Twins handling the Yanks bats at all this series. They're starting in New York, which will either bring out the absolute best or WORST in Santana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 I hate to say it but I'm rooting for the Yankees because it would seem anti-climatic if it wasn't Sox/Yanks in the ALCS. With that said, this is make it or break it for Santana. He's got TONS of pressure tonight and if he chokes, I think he loses the Cy Young Award (and I know it's suppose to be about regular season, but be serious). Santana loses one of his games, Yanks take the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Real F'n Show Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Don't they decide the Cy Young award winner before the playoffs start, and just not announce it until later? Anyway, I think the Twins should be able to win tonight if Santana goes 7+ innings. And although they lose some defense with Rivas being out, Cuddyer has been hitting the hell out of the ball. My prediction: Twins in 5 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 6, 2004 I'm sorry, I can't put a guy who bats Bernie Williams ahead of Posada and Matsui in the Hall of Fame, I don't care how many rings he has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 What? Thats like saying you couldn't put Manny in the HOF because he bats ahead of Ortiz. That's like saying you can't put A-Rod in the HOF because he bats ahead of Sheff. Even though I don't believe Bernie will get into the HOF, thats not a reason for him not to. EDIT: My mistake, you meant Torre. And your wrong again anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 Most Yankee fan would be pissed right now, but I'm not. I mean, even though we couldn't get a run in the 2nd, EVERYTHING was hit hard. Rubens and Olerud's were sharp hits, just right at people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
