Punto's gaffe dooms Twins in Metrodome finale Sun Oct 11 21:50:00 2009 EST

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Minnesota Twins ran themselves right out of the Metrodome.

Nick Punto's baserunning blunder cost the Twins a chance to tie the game in the eighth inning, and the New York Yankees eliminated Minnesota with a 4-1 victory in their division series that shut the doors for good on professional baseball in the raucous, quirky ballpark.

After the Yankees took their celebration into the clubhouse, the Twins grounds crew began digging up home plate for delivery to their new op

Yanks go for sweep in Minnesota Sun Oct 11 10:27:03 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - Andy Pettitte tries to pitch the New York Yankees into the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2004 this evening when they attempt to complete a three-game sweep in their ALDS matchup against the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome. New York took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five set with a thrilling win on Friday, as Alex Rodriguez hit a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning, and Mark Teixeira hit a laser shot in the 11th to lift the Yankees to a 4-

er to replace him. Teams can make roster changes during a series, but the player that is being replaced must also sit out the next series if that team advances. Tolbert suffered a strained oblique muscle during Game 2 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees on Friday. "There is not much chance that he would be back anymore," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire on Saturday. "He got it pretty good. He is in a lot of pain, it really got sore. I think he did it on a check swing, the second at-bat, th
A-Rod might not need more surgery Fri Oct  9 19:37:08 2009 EST
Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez may not require a follow-up surgery to the procedure he had performed on his hip in spring training. Dr. Marc J. Philippon, who performed the surgery on the slugger in Colorado on March 9, said that more tests will be needed but he doesn't think another operation will be necessary. Philippon examined Rodriguez during batting practice prior to Friday's ALDS Game 2 and said that he thought the third baseman looked about 95
Burnett tries to give Yanks commanding lead in ALDS matchup with Twins Fri Oct  9 10:37:46 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - All eyes will be on A.J. Burnett this evening when the New York Yankees try to take a commanding two games to none lead against the Minnesota Twins in the best-of-five American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium. Much has been made in the past couple of days of Yankee manager Joe Girardi's decision to bench catcher Jorge Posada in favor of the light-hitting Jose Molina, who Burnett seems to be more comfortable throwing to. "I'm not jumping for joy here," Posada said. "B
No rest, no win for tired Twins in playoff opener Thu Oct  8 01:03:00 2009 EST

NEW YORK (AP) -After the Minnesota Twins lost Game 1 of the AL playoffs, manager Ron Gardenhire was really looking forward to Thursday.

Not because his Twins would have a chance to catch up with the New York Yankees. Because they would have a chance to catch up on sleep.

``We get a day off tomorrow. Which is needed right now,'' Gardenhire said after Wednesday night's 7-2 loss at Yankee Stadium.

``A few guys come in and get some treatment. And pitchers, a couple of guys need to toss. But

tiebreaker contest and the third straight overall in baseball after Colorado and San Diego started the run in 2007 with a one- game playoff to decide the NL Wild Card. Of course, the winner of tonight's contest will play the AL East champion New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on either Wednesday or Thursday.
