Well, the NL is going to take a break tonight, as the AL division series intensifies. Both series stand at 1-0, and both away teams will be trying to even the score. On a personal traffic note, how is it that I had to drive right by Dodger Stadium last night, and now tonight, I'm driving by Angel Stadium? I am a bad planner.
First up will be Minnesota and New York, as the Twins try desperately to conjure up some of Tuesday's magic and sneak a game from the dominant Yankees. Nick Blackburn will be throwing for the Twins. He pitched last year's tie-breaker game and was on the losing end of the 1-0 White Sox victory. He hasn't lost since September 11th this season, and he threw into the eighth inning his only start against the Yankees (allowing 4 ER). He will be facing A.J. Burnett, who will be using Molina instead of Jorge Posada at catcher.
The nightcap will be the Red Sox vs. the Angels as Josh Beckett takes on Jered Weaver.
Ready? Go.
