Congratulations to the Minnesota Twins and their fans. You have to hand it to a team that finished the season 17-4 (and the Tigers were responsible for 3 of those 4 losses) without their second best player.

As a Yankee fan I have enjoyed this late rally by the Twins for two reasons, first its actually made something about the last week of the baseball regular season relevant, and secondly it puts the Yankees 1st round opponent in a precarious situation.

The Twins have become a place where old Mets go to flourish. Carlos Gomez scored the winning run to make former Mets minor leaguer Bobby Keppel the winning pitcher and Ron Gardenhire managed his 5th division champion along side former...
Twins @ Yankees ALDS Game 1: Twins 0, Yankees 0 (In Progress)
Top 1st: Denard Span clocks a leadoff double but C.C. Sabathia strikes out the next two batters. A passed ball in Joe Mauer's at-bat allows Span to reach third.
The More Things Change
Whether it was sleep deprivation or the ghosts, it didn’t matter that the Twins had won 17 of 21 or had just emerged victorious from the game of the year, because this Derek Jeter is still Derek Jeter, this was still October and this was still New York.
