David and Goliath

Here we go! Torii Hunter just smacked one over the fence in the top of the 12th inning to put the Twins up 6-5. For the Twins to go into the belly of the beast and take the first two games in the series is devastating. The Yankees have come back from an 0-2 deficit in the ALDS previously, but they didn't have to face Johan Santana twice in that series! Sturtze was only good for two innings, but I guess Torre didn't know who to turn to next...

UPDATE: Well, Joe Nathan didn't have anything left, either. Hideki Matsui came up with the bases loaded and only one out. A sac fly was all it took to bring Jeter in from 3rd with the winning run. Back to MN!!! Let's go Twins!
