cheering for the yankees is like going for the house in vegas: they're supposed to win. they have the best players, they spend more than all the other teams.

you know the idea of revenue sharing, which is hardly a capitalist idea, is for the teams that get it (Pirates, Royals etc) to use it on the team and creating a team that people will want to spend money on seeing and creating more revenue for these teams. It's actually kind of sad that more corporations don't follow the Yankees' priniciples of investing in good employees, since a good product in any idea industry will make people want to spend money on the company.

very well said, nothing to add

What frustrates me.. Twins.. for such an awesome record, I think the second place White Sox could have at LEAST took a game or two from the Yankees..

If you're scoring at home:

The Yankees are 10-6 in the Division Series and that includes winning it in 1981 over the Brewers during the strike season. The Yankees also are 14-7 in a best-of-five series as well as 216-141 in the postseason. This was their 13th playoff series sweep (four in the LDS, one in the ALCS and eight in the World Series).

The nine straight postseason wins over the Twins is the third-most by one team over another in postseason history (Boston 11 straight over the Angels 1986-2008; Oakland 10 straight over Boston 1988-2003).

Yankee pitchers held the Twins to a .222 (2-for-18) batting average with runners in scoring position.

Phil Hughes is the third Yankee in the last 30 years under 25 to make a postseason start (Andy Pettitte and Dave Righetti).

Hughes also is the third Yankee to pitch seven scoreless innings in his first playoff start. The others were Orlando Hernandez in Game Four of the 1998 ALCS against the Indians and Waite Hoyt in Game Two of the 1921 World Series against the New York Giants.

Marcus Thames' home run snapped a 13 at-bat postseason hitless streak dating to the 2006 postseason. He is the 10th Yankee since 1981 to make his first postseason hit as a Yankee a home run. Lance Berkman was the ninth when he did it in Game Two.

Derek Jeter has hit safely in 18 of his last 19 playoff games, going .337 (28-for-83) in that span. He also stole his first postseason base since Game One of the 2005 ALDS.

Over his last 20 postseason appearances, Mariano Rivera has allowed one run. In 12 postseason appearances against the Twins, Rivera has allowed eight hits, struck out 14 and walked one in 16 2/3 scoreless innings.

So that was really the first division series (1981) until they established it in 1995?
