Damn Drunk Yankees?

Like I've said before: I'm a frontrunner. Part of which includes being a bandwagon jumper. I hadn't watched a Twins game all year ('cept three inning which happened to be on a TV at the CC Club one evening this past summer), but gladly jumped on the playoff bandwagon Tuesday morning about thirty minutes before the first pitch.

And now that the Twins have won Game One and because that victory was over the hated/dreaded Yankees ... I gotta unleash some trash talk.

Today's target: Bernie Williams. This is a center fielder? In the third, his girly throw to home wasn't even close to nailing a tagging Cristian Guzman. In the sixth, he dogs after a Torii Hunter line drive hit, and it gets by him. After the game, he said: "You win as a team and lose as a team."

Granted, the Yankees as a team did tend to play the field like they had tapped a keg of malt liquor before the game, but you can especially lose as a team when you have a defensive liability in center field.
