The Yankees and Rays pitching, especially the starters they can throw in a short series, are a tick or two better than the Twins. The Twins bullpen doesn't matter if they are down 3-1 in the late innings. Twins are going to have to show me that they can score on great pitching.

The Twins Bull pen will matter in each series and its Better than the others...and if there down in the late innings by one or two that's obvious it dont matter, Da!! What matters then is they know how to rally and come back at the Bat....Pavano will make the hugest impression this Fall in Baseball...he will prove that he is Ace material.

This year that wont matter....Twins have the Horses, especially if Morneau comes in to hit..
They also have the best Bull Pen...and that will be the difference

Your "if" is relying on a guy who hasnt seen a pitch in nearly 4 months to come in and power the team to victory?
IMO for the twins to make a run at the WS they need to have April Liriano show up and get Blackburn out of the rotation. theres enough breaks in teh playoffs that they dont need 5 starting pitchers.

that reminds me of a story (true besides) I once heard, Doc asked this certain young fella "how often do you have a Bowel movement" and the Kid replied "only when I run"
