    7 straight days of the Jays and Yankees.....   http://readeroffictions.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/gif-this-is-my-hell-parks.gif

  • So when my nephews were small and we'd walk them back to our house after school for the afternoon, one time the youngest was telling us about the strange pet one of the families in the neighborhood ha

  • Why did the chicken cross the road?......To prove to the armadillo it can be done....

That Yankee bullpen is absurd.

They're not untouchable. They've had their problems throughout the year.

That's on Santana. The "ace" of the staff needs to be able to get through 6 in big games.

Garcia hasn't gone 6 with the Yanks.

Yankees have the 2nd best bullpen in baseball.

Really irritating how we continue to follow offensive explosions with scoring droughts
That's exactly what happens to teams that need offense to win. Of the big three, pitching, defense and offense, the most variable by far is offense.

They're not untouchable. They've had their problems throughout the year.

I'd take it.

 

They have like 7 guys that would be our best reliever.

Absolutely. But you could any that about most clubs

Just can't get Gardner out

The rest of the team may be new, but Gardner and Ellsbury still have that "We can't lose to the Twins" attitude.  I get the bad queasy feeling every time they come to the plate.  

Haven't been close throwing out runners tonight

Gardner is putting on a baserunning clinic.

Castro is terrible

True.

Twins would drop to 42-95 against the Yankees this millennium barring a late comeback ;)

I knew it was bad, but holy sh**. 

yeah, but 2-1 this year before tonight.

Dick recites Escobar's season stats - 4 errors committed in 118 games playing three positions, 19 home runs, etc.  Can a utility player be any more valuable to a team?

 

Why don't they have a utility player of the year award?  Basketball has 6th man and football honors special teams players. Baseball should honor those guys who get the spot starts, pinch hit in key situations and are the late inning defensive replacements that round out a high quality team.

 

Escobar and players like him deserves some recognition for the contributions he has made to their teams.

It's like watching the 2016 twins every time I come to this ballpark! Fun!

That's what the next 6-10 years and 30-120 million he will make over those years are for ;)

There's a start!

PH granite over Kepler.... that's interesting

Granite at the plate.  Could this lifelong Yankee fan be the curse buster?

 

Now Kepler up. I still think Bunting kinda sucks FYI

LOL

 

(TRUE STORY) I just got called by a pollster and I decided to go ahead and answer the questions. 

 

 

 

The 1st question

 

Pollster: Politically... Do you feel things are going in the right direction or very seriously in the wrong direction?  

 

Me: Did you read that question right? 

 

Pollster: Yes

 

Me: Read it again

 

Pollster: Politically... Do you feel things are going in the right direction or very seriously in the wrong direction? 

 

Me: Do I have the options of Very Seriously in the right direction or just simply the wrong direction? 

 

Pollster: No you do not. 

 

Me: Can you tell me who commissioned this research?  

 

Pollster: I'm sorry... I don't have that information. 

 

Me: If I understand the phrasing of the question... You want me to say seriously wrong direction so go ahead and put that down. 

 

Pollster: OK Thank You

Betances can't throw a strike and they gave him a free out.

Yeah exactly.

 

Not a fan of giving (a usual) elite RP free outs in general.

I knew it was bad, but holy sh**.

 

 

 

Interestingly, from 1998-2001, at the end of Yankees dynasty and before the twins got competitive, MN was 17-20 against them

Setting up nicely for the double play to end the inning

Lead foot Grossman still on second. That is a big mistake.
