Red Sox were a huge disappointment in that series--Best pitchers beaten, hitting went completely south, and bullpen star failed!

I think Terry should have let Wagner finish the 8th & Pap start the 9th.

Despite the fact the Yankees were more talented and more experienced, it was the fact the Twins had some really stupid players that turned the series. Nick Punto has been a bonehead all year and he and Carlos Gomez have IQs smaller than their hat sizes.
Congrats to Pavano for pitching his guts out tonight. He deserved a better fate.
It figures that the steroid poster boys, A-Rod and Petit, would doom our guys.
