I'm a little surprised that they took out Santana after 7 innings, since the game was so close. If the Twins lost because of their bullpen, then that would have totally wasted Santana's effort. A bit of a risk, since their closer's name isn't Rivera.

twins bullpen is much deeper/better than the yanks, was a good decision to get him out of there and give him some more rest for the next game he has to win against the yanks.

😕

Joe Nathan was one of the best closers in the league this year.
 
Yankees were outplayed tonight. They could not got a hit in a clutch spot, and when they almost did, the Twins defense robbed them. Oh well, the Yankees will trounce Radke.
 
Torre should've put Matsui in the 4 slot, Bernie stopped a lot of rallies & isn't hitting too well with RISP.

i was surprised they kept him in there that long. Sure he hadn't allowed a run, but allowing the leadoff man in 5 of 6 innings and getting in trouble so many times, it almost felt as though Santana was ready to give up a big inning.

And yes, the Twins have a good bullpen.
 
We're gonna win, Twins, we're gonna score;
We're gonna win, Twins - watch that baseball soar!

Crack out a home run, score a double play;
Cheer for the Minnesota Twins today!

Where the hell did all these Twins "fans" all of a sudden come from? Ok you can take off that cap and put back on the one with the girly little B on it (Boston).

Sorry but I've been a Twins fan since I was a little boy (born and raised in Mpls). Actually the Yankees are my second-favorite AL team.

Santana will pitch again in this series, if necessary. So, that means that just one other Twins pitcher will have to win a game, for them to take the series.

And Brad Radke is no slouch. His 11-8 record is nothing to be in awe of (with just over 4.5 runs/game, he had the ninth lowest support among AL starter), take note that his ERA is fourth best in the AL.

Also take note that he held them to 1 Run over 7 innings in August...

I was born a Twins fan, I'll die one. Boston can suck me. The Yankees can too.

I'm a Braves fan at heart (since 90 which was 4 years after I was born), so naturally in this series I'd be a Twins fan 🙂
 
Ironically the Yankees were very successful in the playoffs &amp; won those 4 world series before they had the superstars &amp; huge payroll.
 
Will they shut up already about whether or not it's impressive to hit a hr into the black seats? My opinion of these guys went down again, and I didn't know it could go any lower.

Looks like a lot happening this game . . .

As far as being a Twins fan goes ... at least you're not a Boston fan! 😀

EDIT: Yanks in 4.
