Open Thread 2: Playoff Day 5 - Yankees at Twins

The Twins are fighting for their lives, hoping that the Metrodome is magic -- as it has been for them so many times. Andy Pettitte goes against Carl Pavano, former Yankee failure turned 14 game winner.

I hope the Yankees annihilate the Twins.

I find the Twins annoying, and I can live with the Yankees being in the ALCS/world series.

Once again, the possible final baseball game in the Metrodome

Soon to take its rightful place alongside Candlestick Park in the Worst.Ballparks.Ever. Hall of Infamy.

For the third time in a week, Dave Henderson places his bottle of champagne in the ice bucket and settles back in his easy chair to watch the game.

Rooting for the Yankees

I want the Yankees to win the series now. I want them to defeat the Angels in the American League Championship Series.

total agreement

Twins are small-market lovables like a certain other team we know… playing their last games in a stadium even more hated than another certain stadium we know. Plus, they are building a new one with no roof!!! Now that takes balls.

You gotta love the small-market underdogs.

Hell, you couldn’t find another team in baseball that’d make me root for the Yankees/Angels/Red Sox. Not the greatest AL playoffs from an A’s-fan rooting standpoint.

I don't really subscribe to the St. Louis hate.

I mean, I get why people don’t like them, what with the Holliday thing and the whole “one more WS trophy than us” thing.

I kind of like STL, actually. Also for no reason. Well, Pujols might have something to do with it.

Dear Baseball,

Please arrange for there to be a 163rd game the day before the ALDS begins, have the teams go extra innings and exhaust their bullpens, and then have the winning team be the one whose HR leader is out for the season.

Thanks,

The Yankees.

It was like those car-wreck videos they made us watch in drivers ed in high school. I guess the WS I’d really like to see is slegnA and Dodgers, which necessarily means I have to root for the slegnA in the ALCS (assuming there’s not more Twinkie magic in the homerdome).

hard to fail with death as a motivator, you know?

When a friend dies it’s really powerful, beyond the parameters usually proscribed by sports and the sort of goal-oriented motivations players experience. I am sure I was not alone feeling so much grief when Adenhart was killed, not because I even knew him but having watched that game the night before you just don’t expect that kind of thing no matter what your connection to the moment, however tenuous it might be.

It just seems like the Angels have sort of gelled around that moment, in a way… those 25 guys share something very unusual — and not really something you’d wish on anyone, division rival or whoever — and my vibe is that they are gonna take it to the house and win the WS whether we like it or not LOL

The Angels are a solid pick but yes I still have he who shall not be named burned into my mind doing something that Jack Buck couldn’t believe he just saw and that will always keep the Dodgers high on my list.

but they are always such a thorn in the side of the A’s. I was really secretly hoping the Rangers would be in this, or the Braves. Both managed to fail, though, at the same time

more reason to hate the Yankees
Rudy Giuliani wasn’t happy with his seats behind the Yankee dugout at Wednesday night’s game. He was overheard moaning to wife Judith that he preferred his old seats at the side of the dugout, which allowed him to chat with the players. A spy said, Giuliani was sitting in the first row behind the dugout and was complaining. He told Judy he wanted his old seats back. He summoned security and was immediately swooped away to another seat behind home plate. A young couple sat down in his [old] spot and said, ‘Giuliani wanted our seats so we had to move here.’ " A rep for Giuliani didn’t get back to us.

Plus, Jeter actually made a mistake

By throwing home he gave Punto a chance to get back to 3B. The right play would have been to run at Punto and then throw to 3B when Punto headed back to the bag.

It was an unbelievably average play by a decent SS.
