For the second straight season the Minnesota Twins had to play an extra regular season game. This is because they were tied for the division championship. Last year the Twins lost that game. This year the Twins beat Detroit. There prize for winning the division to face the New York Yankees.
The Minnesota Twins have not fared well against the NY Yankees recently. This season they played three series against them, the Twins were 0-9. Under coach Gardenhire the team has posted just two wins in 24 games against NY.
This play off season was no different the Twins went just three games in the best of five series. Losing them all now dropping there record to 2 and 25 all time under Grady and 0-12 on the season.
I have heard a lot of talk about Grady should be the manager of the year. Are you kidding me you need to find a way to beat the big teams before you should be awarded manger of the year. The Twins struggle against the two big teams they play a lot. The Yankees and the Red Socks.
Also the Twins made many base running errors this season. You saw a number of them in the playoffs. The head coach at some point needs to address that and it is clear Gardy has yet done that.

John, I am not going to blame Gardenhire. The Twins were over matched against the Yankees. Just look at the Yankee's lineup.
Gardenhire is not the problem. The Twins are a pretty good club, but they are not Yankee good, and they can't be Yankee good unless they spend a lot more than they do now.
It sucks that the Twins got swept (again) by the Yankees (although a bad call probably cost them game two), but the better team advanced.
John, are you watching the Vikings? I heard they found an old washed-up QB and he is actually playing pretty well.
Tony I have watched only two quarters of play by the vikes this year. Two different games.
I try not to watch them, again it is the Favre thing.
