ALCS - Better to play the Yankees in 5 or a 7 game series?
As a Twins fan, I worry that it will be tough to beat the Yankees under ANY circumstances. When you can bat Matsui 9th, your lineup is obviously loaded. Getting the first two games at the Dome against Oakland would be the preferred choice, since we could bring Santana back for Game 5 at home. Plus I think Detroit has a decent shot at beating New York, with their depth of pitching across the board. (admin: no need for bold)
