Twins vs Yankees Game 2 Preview

CC Sabathia and the Yankees had a very nice win on Wednesday. CC gave up only 1 earned run through 6.2 innings pitched. He managed to put his career post season woes behind him and came up with the big game the Yankees needed. Even though this series is against the Twins, game 1 showed there is no doubt that the Yankees are the most complete team in this playoffs. They have the best lead off hitter in Jeter, they have the best line up from top to bottom, the most power (Tex, A-Rod, Matsui, Cano), the best ace in Sabathia, the best bullpen in Hughes, Joba, and Mo, and the best wild card in AJ Burnett. If he pitches to the standards he is capable of this post season, they will be the best 1-2 punch. He has dirty stuff and I think he will pitch a gem. He is pitching against Nick Blackburn, who is the best starter on the Twins staff. AJ needs to avoid the blow up and have a good first few innings. If that happens, which it should, the Yankees will win because you know that they will be hitting home runs. My prediction is the Yankees fly to the Metro dome with a 2-0 series lead, and confidence that they are firing on all cylinders.
