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.
I hate all Boston sports teams
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.

Joe needs to do what's best for the team.
And if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees

Did you really expect Granderson not to play?

I put no stupid matchup beyond Joe G.

Get me on base, I'll do the rest
concentrate... concentrate... I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... Hello?... hello... hello... Echo... echo... echo... Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon... Manny Mota... Mota... Mota...
We have solid numbers against Liriano.
I feel like as far as playoff aces go, he’s one of the more beatable ones.
"He wasn't an astronaut, he was a tv comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife!"
Sooooooooo
Thames = the possible unlikely hero tonight? I like those numbers a lot.
