Of the 58 pitches Brian Duensing threw Saturday night, the Yankees swung and missed at NONE of them. We can all marvel and then realize that it was just the TWINS, but the Yanks are a force. Behind Sabathia, Pettitte, and Hughes, they are so hard to beat. Each start got even progressively better than the other. Sabthia gave up 4, Andy gave up 2, while Hughes threw 99 pitches over 7 shut out innings. It is good to see the Yanks are getting some length from their starters, so they can shorten the game with a solid bullpen.
Yanks now can watch football, and other playoff baseball until the start of the ALCS which is Friday. Tomorrow night they will find out if they are going to be facing Texas or Tampa. Because this series went 5 games, (I called it going back to Tampa after 2-0) Cliff Lee or David Price will not start game 1 on short rest, so right there its advatage Yankees. I'll have more for ya ALCS-wise once we find out who we are playing.
