From Mark Feinsand, here are some odds for the playoffs.

A quote from Ron Gardenhire, brought to you by Kim Jones.

"He's one of those warriors for us, doesn't like to miss a start, wants the ball..." Ron Gardenhire on Carl Pavano.

Joe Girardi told Marc Carig that Mark Teixeira had a cortisone shot on this thumb a month ago.

In an interview with ASAP sports, Alex Rodriguez called the Yankees the "David" in the David and Goliath situation.

WHY is Granderson still hitting 8th?

He’s better than Posada, and you should want to separate the two lefties at the bottom of the order anyways.

Other than that no complaints. Lets go destroy the Twins.

The Book made him do it.

This lineup sets up Joe G to pinch hit and make double and triple defensive switches late in the game.

Did you really expect Granderson not to play?

I put no stupid matchup beyond Joe G.

Fair enough, but I’d expect Gardner not to play more so than Granderson.

We have solid numbers against Liriano.

I feel like as far as playoff aces go, he’s one of the more beatable ones.

Sooooooooo

Thames = the possible unlikely hero tonight? I like those numbers a lot.
