Look at it this way...Twins will need to beat New York to get to the World
Series. Historically, good teams don't fare that well in short series.
Radke, Santana, Rogers...any questions? Kyle Lohse game 4.

Agreed. Looks like the rotation will be Santana, Radke, then either Rogers
or Lohse. there has been lots of talk about a 3 man rotation...

Why, when the Twins can do it? No, really. I think the Twins can beat the
Yankees. The Twins aren't the same team who played the Yankees earlier this
year. They're better. And the Yankees aren't playing as well as they were
earlier, either.
