  Minnesota could make some noise here. After CC, the Yanks starting pitching has been dreadful.
• Tiger2003

  

  You know CC will go on 3 days rest in game 4.
• darbypitcher22

  

  I like how New York's pitching shapes up here. CC has been lights out, Phil will keep us in the game, and Andy is a gamer in the postseason.

  Twins up 2-0 off a Cuddyer HR.
• gorocks99

  

  3-0 after Posada lets one get away.
• karen lotz

  

  I love it. Great job getting out of the jam in the top of the 3rd. Getting Tex and ARod like that is huge.
• wildcats20

  

  Twins in 4.

  Does anyone else love Jim Thome? I still have his jersey when he was a Philly.
• Ironman92

  

  Twins have great plate appearances....even when they make outs...they know what they are doing each at bat

  I had a chance to talk to Liriano a few times when I was working for a newspaper in Florida during spring training.
  
  Nice dude. Had to work really hard to get back after the injury a few years ago. You could kind of see it at that time he was worried if he would ever be the same and have a major league career.
• Non

  

  but here come the Yankees
  
  3-2 now
• Tiger2003

  

  Damn you Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4-4. Yanks take the lead but then CC walks in a run to tie it.

  I usually don't complain about announcers, but damn, Ernie Johnson is absolutely terrible. He has no idea what the ball is doing when it comes off the bat. The worst play-by-play guy I've ever heard.

  I'm not watching the game, who else is in the booth with him? He does Braves games for PeachtreeTV with Smoltz and he is usually pretty entertaining.
• hoops23

  

  Smoltz and somebody else... Can't remember the 3rd guy in the booth..
• Laley23

  

  Baseball certainly isnt EJs specialty. I dont know why he is doing PxP. He is a great studio host, I hate when networks try to make their talent do different jobs like it will be a seamless transition. IT ISNT THE SAME!
• karen lotz

  

  Ron Darling maybe? I doubt Smoltz and EJ are their usual selves, probably had to tone it down quite a bit.
• riders1

  

  That's why I listen to 880 WCBS & John Sterling. Can't pick up WCCO very good anymore like years ago. Does John Miller do their games?
  6-4 Yankees bottom of the 8th, Kerry Wood on in relief.
• Non

  

  Twins two on for Hardy
  
  could be the ballgame with Rivera getting ready
• Non

  

  now Span up
  
  2 on, 2 outs
  
  can he deliver?
• Leonardo

  

  Mariano Rivera in for a four-out save.
• Leonardo

  

  Rivera gets an easy grounder and the Yankees lead, 6-4 heading to the ninth inning.
• Non

  

  nice play by Jeter
  
  that wasn't hit very hard and he gathered it quickly
  
  Rivera two-run lead, at least, going to the 9th
