The Yankees have been walking off on the the Twins at the new stadium all season long. Today in game 2 of their playoffs series, they did it again. This was the Yankees' fourth walk-off victory over the Twins this season and ninth win in nine games. Thats amazing to me. A-Rod has some serious post-season mojo going for him right now. He hit the game tying, 2-run bomb against Joe Nathan in the 9-Th to send the game to extras. The other stud, Mark Teixeira, hit a line-drive home run in the 11-Th to one of the shortest parts of the stadium to win the game. That thing reached the fence is no time. It was a short and low ride for that baseball. Suddenly A-Rod is a post-season savant. It would be interesting to see how the haters handle his success now. Me personally, I hate the Yankees more than I hate A-Rod and I can handle his success. The Twins are now in trouble. Down 0-2 and nowhere to go, but back home.
The Angels on the other hand are doing great against the BoSox. They are up 2-0 after 2 strong pitching performances by John Lackey and Jared Weaver. Both Lester and Beckett have now lost and the RedSox nation should be gripping big time. The Angels always lose to the RedSox, but win against the Yankees. May be it's going to be the reverse this post-season. In the NL, Matt Holliday was both the hero and the goat as the Cardinals lost a game they almost won against the Dodgers. He hit a home run in the second, but dropped a game ending catch in the 9-Th that turned out to be a rally-starting error for the Dodgers who ended up winning the game 3-2 instead of losing it 2-1. Brutal game for the Cardinal fans. In the other series, the Rockies and the Eagles are tied up and the series should be fun as it moves to Denver. I mean fun for us, but not for the players or the fans in the stadium and the temperature there is supposed to plummet to the thirties.
Tomorrow in College, Florida @ LSU. That should be a good one.
