<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Minnesota vs. New York<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> is the least even matchup. Everything favors the Yanks and they are better at every position but catcher and manager. Not a knock on Girardi, Gardenhire is one of the best is all and has a lot more experience. On top of this the Twins could not set their rotation and had to use their closer Nathan last night. Playing that 12 inning game and arriving in NYC at 3:00 am probably is not going to help them for today. The Yanks also swept them 7-0 in the season series. So in every way possible the Yanks have to win this one. It would probably be the biggest professional team upset since the Jets beat the Packers in Superbowl III.

I got the Yankees Roster and it is almost perfect (to my thinking)

Good Roster. My only change would have been Pena over Hinske but that should not prove important. The pitchers and taking Cervelli is exactly as I wanted and thought best. Note that they did leave Bruney off as I thought they probably should.
