The MLB Postseason goes on, despite this judge's choice of Matt Holliday in "Man Getting Hit in Groin by Baseball" as most outstanding work this postseason. The scrappy Twins try to win their first game all year against the Yankees behind Nick Blackburn. The Yankees counter with third-biggest free agent acquisition A.J. Burnett, making his postseason debut. This season's statistics would indicate that New York is the favorite, but bear in mind that the Yankees have not been up 2 games to none in a division series since 1999. Twins in an upset, sez I!

The nightcap sees Big Game Pitcher Josh Beckett take on Regular Game Pitcher Jered Weaver. The Angels managed to do what cancer couldn't and beat Jon Lester in the first game, helping to get put all of Boston's postseason dominance over the lads from Los Angeles/Anaheim partially behind them. They can take a commanding two game lead with a win tonight. Beckett seems to shine when he's needed most, but the Sox offense looked mighty pedestrian against John Lackey. Weaver has shut down the Red Sox this year, posting an 0.66 ERA over 13 2/3 innings, and recording 12 strikeouts. Should be a good game, and I look for the Angels to put their boot on Boston's throat and keep them down while they're struggling.
