Twins @ Yankees ALDS Game 1

5:04pm
Doing some live blogging of this game.  I'm here ready to go. We're at commercial 3 minutes to first pitch.

5:07pm
First pitch right on time strike one from Sabathia.  And that thrid pitch from CC was a strike for sure.  Did not get the call.  Also, what are your thoughts on the TBS PitchTrax?  I think it sucks.

5:13pm
Thanks for complaining about not getting the start in Game 2, Posada.  Nice stuff there.  Man at 3rd, 1 out for the Twins.

5:18pm
Yankees work around a leadoff double.  It's probably going to be near impossible to get any runs for the Twins.  I could be wrong but that first inning is usually the best time to pounce.  They missed their chance.  We'll see what happens.  Yankees coming up to the plate.  NOTE:  Please notice the sponsored links on the right side (>>>>) of this blog.  Hint: Please Please just once each time you visit.  Thank you.

Another NOTE: At the top of the blog, click follow blog and you can stay connected with your gmail account.  In the game, Jeter ran on a grounder by Teixeira, preventing the double play.  2 outs, A-Rod up.  Last NOTE:  add comments at the bottom of this post or at the bottom of any post.  Stir conversation and discussion.

Sabathia dealing after two innings.  4 K's.

5:49pm
Announcer calls Cano the future batting champion of the AL?!  He says this one pitch before Cano strikes out.  What an isane-o!

5:54pm
Umpires really kinda suck.  That was no doubt strike 3 and instead Punto gets a base hit.  Can Minnesota take advantage?

6:03pm
Minnesota strikes first!  Imagine if they had not grounded into that double play.  Oh man, the score could be 3-0.  Three 2-out base hits gets it done this time.

6:05pm
Please reference the post at 5:13 about Posada bitching about Molina getting the game 2 start.  It's laughable.  He talks the talk but can't walk the walk.

6:13pm
Yankees tie the game on a two run homa by Derek Jeter.  Horrendous pitch from Duensing.  Tie game bottom 3rd.

6:42pm
Yankees finally take the lead 3-2 in the bottom of the 4th.  This game is going pretty slowly.

7:11pm
Matsui with a 2 run homer.  Yankees have this game well in hand.  Lots of time, but it might be too much for the Twins to overcome.

7:29pm
Game is getting super boring.  Yankees are in cruise control.  I don't see any way the Twins can possibly come back and win this game.  They have 8 outs to work with and haven't threatened since their 2 runs in the 3rd inning.  Main event in 1 hour!

Best part about slow as hell American League baseball?  Less time between their game and mine.  Ten minutes to the start of the Cards game. May be watching on TNT for a little bit.  I don't mind.
