Yanks vs. the Land of One Thousand Retards Twins.
Not too much excitement surrounding this match-up, except for a few things.
What will I be watching, you ask?
1. Carl Pavano back in Yankee Stadium for a game that actually matters. This can only mean good things for the faithful fans of the Boogey Down Bronx. That dude made a career on flopping, and this won't be any different, except for the fact that it will be nationally televised and all eyes will be on his failing arm.
2. CC going on 4 days rest. Girardi decided to go with 3 pitchers for this series: CC, Hughes, and Pettitte. That being said, back to the basics with the starters. Hes done it before, but I wish that we could have waited to overextend him until at least the ALCS. Wonder what Javy, AJ, Nova, and Mosely will be doing
3. Lance Berkman. DH is pretty wide open right now, with a spot available for either Berkman, Jorge (if Cervelli plays), or Kearns. My, and most likely Girardi's, nod will go to Berkman. That guy made a career off of 2 things- homeruns and strikeouts. If the latter shows prominence, get the hell outta pinstripes.
So- rest assured- Twins are barely going to be a warmup. Yanks cruise and take game 1, lose game 2 (im thinking by quite a few runs) then come home to win the next 2.
