caulfield12 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Amazing...Yankees are kryptonite to the Twins, like the Twins at home playing against us. And consistently, the Yankees have absolutely owned the Twins this decade. Twins, if Rivera holds the game, will have lost 9 post-season games in a row and gone 0 for the season against NY. Despite winning 5 ALCD titles in 8 years (White Sox 3 in 10), they have ONLY managed to beat the Oakland A's (5 losses out of 6 possible series chances)...and will be 6-18 for the decade in the post-season. And the ONLY time they won more than one game in a series was a 3-2 series victory over those same A's in 2002, when they had perhaps their best team, along with the 2006 Twins (IMO). White Sox=12-7, of course, 11 of those came in the one magical year of 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) Seriously, it's game 3 of the ALDS and the pitchers the Twins have thrown out so far are Duensing, Blackburn, and now THE Carl Pavano. How the Hell did these guys win the division with that as their starting rotation? In all fairness, Baker (despite the relatively high ERA), was their ace the back half of this season. Blackburn, as we know from the Blackout Game, is a very clutch pitcher. Losing Slowey to injury and Liriano to injury/ineffectiveness, those have been huge hits...there's no way (and without Morneau) that Gardenhire shouldn't be the manager of the year. That effort was a bit similar to the White Sox in 2008 (Ozzie), and you can still make a case with Span, Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer and Kubel that the Twins' offense was a lot better and more talented than our recent post-season team.

greg775 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Man, three and out for Minny. Our division gets owned in the playoffs for second year in row. Hope it demoralizes both Minny and Detroit for next year. Minny does all that work for a playoff flop; Detroit with the amazing choke job. Time for us to rule and make some noise in the playoffs.

greg775 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Very true JPN; the Twinks were so overmatched. Yet think of all the times we played them and the Sox seemed to overmatched or at least guaranteed to lose in the dome. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carlos Gomez and Nick Punto hadn't made baserunning blunders that made Alexei look good, and/or the ump had called Mauer's ball fair...I'm not sure we wouldn't be talking about how overrated the Yanks were.

If Detroit had the chance to set their pitching rotation (Verlander in games 1 and 4, Jackson in 2 and 5, Porcello in 3) then I wouldn't count them out either.
