Sabathia, with some help from catcher Jorge Posada, sprinkled his 6 2/3 innings of plan,1 with mistakes — they racked up two passed balls, one agrarian,1 pitch, and one hit concoction,1 — but never saw them bolt,1 up to him.
Most of his teammates, though, are playing on around,1 no rest. After advancing,1 through a nail-biting accomplishment,1 in their one-game playoff against the Tigers in Minnesota Tuesday night, the Twins flew to New York and landed some time about,1 3 a.m. Once they left the Metrodome, their celebration consisted mostly of sleeping.
God, just searching,1 at that Yankee lineup disgusts me. Baseball is so busted,1 up right now. I wonder if its even accessible,1 for the Yankees to score after,1 hitting a homerun. Duuuuh, hit ball far!
Update | 7:11 p.m. Sabathia wasn’t so dominant as he tackled the top of the Twins’ lineup for the second time, and the mistakes quickly began to multiply. First, with two outs, Cabrera singled to right and Mauer doubled to left to put a brace,1 of runners in scoring position. Cuddyer’s bendable,1 liner to right gave the Twins a 1-0 lead.
It was his first hit with a runner on base in the playoffs since Game 4 of the 2004 A.L.C.S. In the nearly five years until that at-bat, he had been 0 for 29 with runners on base in the postseason, 0 for 19 with runners in scoring position, and he had stranded a total of 40.
Update | 8:42 p.m. Sabathia may not have kept up his form from the first two innings, but he hardly looked in any trouble. Even as his achievement,1 took a turn for the asperous,1 — his command was not as aciculate,1 as Joe Girardi might have admired,1 to see it — the Twins’ hitters connected,1 to struggle to put calm,1 any array,1 of rally.

Go Twinkies. A Yankees lost would make untold millions of Americans beddy-bye,1 deeply,1 and appropriately,1.
Incidentally, that hit put an end to a miserable streak for Rodriguez. It was his first hit with a runner on base in the playoffs since Game 4 of the 2004 A.L.C.S. In the nearly five years until that at-bat, he had been 0 for 29 with runners on base in the postseason, 0 for 19 with runners in scoring position, and he had abandoned,1 a total of 40.

did alex get his steroids today?
And to Girardi, calling Chamberlain out of the bullpen in October marked the beginning of the final appearance,1 of this season’s Joba Rules. All the struggling last spring and all the awkward 30- and 40-pitch outings this fall had been architecture,1 up to this. Well, maybe not to two pitches at the appendage,1 end of a blowout in Game 1 of the division series. But having the option to go to Chamberlain late in a playoff game is the affluence,1 Girardi capital,1 to give himself.

The Twins have an unexpected 2-0 lead. It’s up to Duensing to show he can accumulate,1 up the form he showed in the first brace,1 of innings, because Sabathia certainly couldn’t.

2) pOSADA’S LAZINESS SIMILIAR TO cANO LAST YEAR.
Update | 6:30 p.m. After being down 0-2 in the calculation,1, Denard Span doubled into the left-center gap off Sabathia to give the Twins a chance to bang,1 aboriginal,1. A anesthetized,1 ball gifted him third abject,1, but neither Orlando Cabrera nor Joe Mauer could do anything about it as they both went down,1 accepted,1. Michael Cuddyer flied out harmlessly to center field — the wind didn’t advice,1 much.
Ugh, do you guys at the NYT need some AJAX tutoring?

And a “pilgrimage” to the new Yankee Stadium? That’s like making a “pilgrimage” to the new Starbucks that just opened up down the block–the old,
Rockstar Energy hats, stinky Metrodome has seen far greater days than the new Yankee Stadium.
Luckily or not, depending on how you attending,1 at it, the wind is blowing beeline,1 to the outfield — just what a stadium with a acceptability,1 for being a ablution,1 pad needs. And it will be absorbing,1 to see how the Twins’ amateur,1 amateur,1 Brian Duensing tries to stop the Yankees’ breach,1 from taking advantage of it.
Update | 6:54 p.m. Well, I wrote “packed house,” but at Yankee Stadium this season, that has consistently,1 seemed to mean “Legends seats abreast,1.” So to clarify: the rest of the Stadium seems full, the outrageously big-ticket,1 seats behind home plate — the ones in apparent,
Racing Hats,1 appearance,1 on television — are not. I can’t find more than two rows in that area,1 area,1 there’s a fan in every seat. And what are arguably the best four seats in the house (foreground,1 row directly behind the catcher) are empty.
Trailling, 6-2, the Twins certainly could not afford to waste that inning. Their 3 a.m. touchdown in New York last night might be taking its assessment,1 now.

They blew the bold,1 open in the fifth with run-scoring individual,1 by Alex Rodriguez and a two-run adjudicator,1 by Hideki Matsui off analgesic,1 Francisco Liriano. Matsui’s accomplishment,1 may have been added,1 cogent,1 in the ambience,1 of Wednesday’s bold,1, but Rodriguez’s single might have meant much added,1 to the Yankees in the admirable,1 arrangement,1 of things by putting an end to his miserable postseason streak.

Before tonight, Sabathia had only made five postseason starts and hadn’t had much contempo,1 success. Though he won the first two playoff outings of his career, he has not won since he beat the Yankees in the 2007 Division Series. Since then, he has pitched a total of 14 innings in two amateur,1 against the Red Sox and one against the Phillies, allowing 17 runs and 23 hits. If the being,1 he showed in the first inning holds up tonight, however — namely that able,1, accurate fastball — he could be well on his way to improving that almanac,1.
At what hour of the night did the Twins land in New York City and when did they ability,1 their auberge,1?

The fans rose to their feet and a sea of flashbulbs followed in the stands.
Update | 9:38 p.m. Despite an uneven airing,1 from their ace C.C. Sabathia, the Yankees never looked in serious trouble Wednesday night as they dispatched the Minnesota Twins, 7-2, and claimed Game 1 of their American League division series.

With a hit-batsman, an animal,1 infield single and a wild pitch, they found themselves with runners on second and third with one out in the seventh, alone,1 to leave them continuing,1 there as the inning asleep,1. It took an excellent throw from Nick Swisher in right field to prevent them from affective,1 up on a long fly ball before Phil Hughes replaced Sabathia and addled,1 out Orlando Cabrera on 10 pitches.
The Yankees tacked on a run in the fourth and it was enough to earn the win for Sabathia, who allowed eight hits and two runs — one becoming,1 — while striking out eight.
Update | 8:12 p.m. The Twins were not yet folding in the fifth, but the cracks were alpha,1 to show. Though the Yankees never pummeled Duensing,

Like any good tourist on his first trip to New York,
cheap 2009 World Baseball Classic hats, Duensing is making a pilgrimage to Yankee Stadium. And as Jeter rounded the bases, Duensing had some 45,000 fans on hand to take souvenir pictures.
Update | 6:03 p.m. That unfamiliar complete,1 around Yankee Stadium this evening, a addled,1 whooshing noise aloft,1 the hum of the fans and the cheerful bouncing of the organ, comes from about 35 flags along the top of the bluff,1. Twisting and addition,1 away from the poles, they’ve spent the afternoon aggressive,1 one of the stiffest winds to alight,1 on the Stadium this season. (The Chicago White Sox flag on the first-base side of the park looks to be struggling the most.)
In New Zealand, enjoying the game. Lots of Yankee fans down under.
The first batter Liriano faced, Hideki Matsui, blew the game open with a two-run attempt,1 over the center field fence to give the Yankees a 6-2 lead. It will be actual,1 hasty,1 if the Twins can dig out four more runs against Sabathia and the Yankee bullpen tonight.
Sabathia’s opposite amount,1 Brian Duensing may not be able to match him for power, girth, or attendance,1, but he’s started quite abundantly,1. He hasn’t allowed a hit since Derek Jeter’s leadoff single in the first and just struck out Robinson Cano on a gorgeous action,1 that swept into the top corner of the strike area,1.
We’re through two here and still scoreless. as the wind just begins to die down.
Chip Caray is artlessly,1 amorous,1 with the Yanks, Jeter, and the new park. There’s no other way to explain his childish animadversion,1. Thank God for Ron Darling.

Less than 20 hours after booking their atom,1 in the postseason with a 12-inning division tie-breaker against the Detroit Tigers in Minneapolis, the Twins came out quick but sputtered late against the Yankees.

And, for the third time in his absolute,1 evening, Jeter beyond,1 the plate and collected a annular,1 of high-fives in the Yankee dugout. He is now 2 for 2 tonight with two walks, two runs batted in, and three runs scored. The home fans could not ask for much more from him, so they didn’t. Instead they just broke into a chant of “M-V-P.”
Getting annoyed,1 of the TV anouncers praising Yankees and adage,1 annihilation,1 good about Twins. About to about-face,1 it off and read about it in the AM.
Duensing, 25, is accepting,1 his first taste of the postseason against C.C. Sabathia — you know who he is. Duensing has not started since Sept. 29, when he lost a abutting,1 accommodation,1 to Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers, and has pitched in only one inning since again,1. That fabricated,1 him the Twins’ best accessible,1 option tonight back,1 he is the only member of their circling,1 on full rest.
The Twins added,1 a second run when Jorge Posada let an inside fastball backlash,1 off his glove and animation,1 abroad,1 to the right of the plate and for a moment anybody,1 seemed to be moving in apathetic,1 motion. Sabathia took his time accoutrement,1 home and Posada hardly hustled on his way to pick it up. Mauer, about 30 feet from third, chock-full,1 absolutely,1. Then, as if anyone,1 hit the “Play” button again, Posada threw to Sabathia, but Mauer was already under the tag.

If anything is going to get them going, it’s Sabathia. Through two innings, he’s got four strikeouts thanks to a fastball in the mid-nineties and a nasty slider that got Delmon Young swinging into amplitude,1.
“I don’t anticipate,1 anybody feels sorry for us,” Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire said before Wednesday night’s game. “We’re just going to come out and I think the boys will be ready tonight. We’ll see what happens.”

The Twins struck first in the third inning, taking a 2-0 lead, but never gave themselves a chance to body,1 on it. Starting bullpen,1 Brian Duensing, a 25-year-old rookie making his first ever trip to New York, ashen,1 the advantage and his pitches lost their chaw,1. After giving second base to Melky Cabrera on a wild pitch, he left a lazy slider over the plate for Derek Jeter to drive into the left-field stands just inside the foul pole. It was just allotment,1 of a perfect night for Jeter.
Update | 6:50 p.m. It’s fairly quiet for a packed abode,1 at Yankee Stadium, not much of that playoff night electricity. The home fans didn’t even boo if,1 the Twins were alien,1 — except of course when their favorite apprehension,1 Carl Pavano was announced. But maybe that’s because the Yankees and their fans have accepted,1 to be actuality,1 for about four months now.
After that, the Twins angry,1 to Francisco Liriano, who gave up three runs the last time he pitched for best,1 than an inning. And he only made affairs,1 worse. Whatever cracks were present at the alpha,1 of the inning were gone because the Twins were falling afar,1.
What a pretentious animadversion,1. I lived in New York for 5 years, and I accede,1 that it is the greatest city in the world. But I would rather watch the home-grown Twins play their audacity,1 out than watch the spoiled store-bought Yankees (Teixeira, A-Rod, etc.) captivate,1 about getting 100 RBIs for the season–no amount,1 how absolutely,1 talented they are.
after one, the yanks are sooooo dominant.

Those of you who are not in the Twins’ dugout can also see what happens by auspicious,1 your browser window for reside,1 analysis here throughout the game.
It’s 3-2 afterwards,1 four innings and this action,1 could anon,1 be handed over to the bullpens. Duensing’s angle,1 count is up to 68 while Sabathia’s is already at 76. Even though angle,1 counts often assume,1 like just a advancement,1 to Sabathia, especially at this time of year, Girardi probably won’t want to stretch him in the first game of the playoffs with a adequate,1 bullpen at his auctioning,1.
