You're missing a great game

The best matchup of the first round -- on paper, at least -- is the Twins versus the Yankees. The Twins have a new stadium -- this is the first outdoor playoff game in Minnesota since 1970 -- and the home field advantage. The Yankees have Jeter, A-Rod, Rivera, et al.

So far, this game has been great. The Twins jumped out to a 3-0 lead after only three innings. But in the top of the 6th, the Yankees came back for four runs and a 4-3 lead. And then, in the bottom of the 6th, C.C. Sabathia -- the Yankees' ace -- walked in the tying run. So now it is 4-4 going into the 7th. But, of course, it's 11 PM on the East Coast, and the game in on TBS, so only hard-core fans are still watching. It's a shame, really. They play these fabulous games, but under circumstances so that no one will watch.
