Does anyone really want to play the Twins in the playoffs?

The way Rob Funk's favorite "journeyman" is pitching, Johan Santana, it looks like you'll have to win 4 of 5 because the Twinkies can chalk up 2 wins in a series with this "middle reliever" on the hill.

 

[GreenDoberman]

just think the Marlins could have kept Santana after drafting him from the Astros in the rule V draft.

Looks like the Yankees are in their future in round one.


wil.

 

[RobFunk]

LOL. .ok green you win, he must of read my nasty comments. great game he is pitching tonight. id definatly play the twins in the playoffs though.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Best case scenario for you Red Sox diehards is Twins play (and beat) the Yanks, Sox continue to manhandle the A's, and the Sox face the Twins.
I think they may ahve the bats to shake up Santana and-or Radke.

But then again, that will only get you poor guys hopes up to have it dashed away in the World Series by the back-to-back Trader Jack-led world champion Marlins.

As Strange as it sounds most teams want to play the Yankee's first, I agree.

 

[Shotgun]

It would be quite a letdown to not see the Red Sox play the Yankees in the AL Championship round.

 

[RobFunk]

agree shotgun. .i will feel kind of cheated if they meet in the DS. .that is the only way NY will beat the sox this time around though, in a 5 game set where more BS can happen

 

[blueedwards]

they cannot meet in the divisional series.

 

[Journeyman]

Division champ can't play the Wild Card Winner in Rd one when the are in the same division.

 

[RobFunk]

i didnt know that. is that a rule? two teams in same division can not meet in the DS?!

Rob, a WC team cannot play a team from their own division in the 1st round.

We are saved.

The Yanks cant seem to get a break.

 

[Fishhead]

I think the YANKS have some kind of curse on them.

This century may indeed be a very very long one for the Yanks.

THE CURSE OF AROD

 

[RobFunk]

LOL fish

 

[kyhawk]

Can it be almost 20 years since you cashed a 35-1 on Twins in '87 for pennant, Fish? We are getting old my friend. That year Twins had unbelievable D. Unheard of amount of low errors for a team.

Starting to look like 1987 all over again.:drink:

 

[RobFunk]

santana is hands down the best but this twins team as a whole is garbage. i dont care how much momentum they have. the yanks will win this series. santana was great yesterday, but had the benefit of 6 DP balls and no pitcher could ever do that by design.


as a sox fan i will feel cheated if we dont play NYY in the next round so I'm sort of hoping they get it done, but i think the twins are garbage only worse team is dodgers.

if it ends up being the twins, why did they even bother.

NYY vs SOX once again it was written

 

[UWinSports]

Its going to be a tough series.
