Thanks to a week that couldn’t have gone much better, it’s the Yankees holding the hammer. Now all they have to do is wield it.
Everyone saw how this was going to go. Are you kidding? No matter how many times you watch “The Sting,” you know how it ends, you know Redford’s going to get up from the floor smiling and Shaw is going to be hustled up the stairs with his suitcase a half-mill light in cash. So it made perfect sense that the Yankees would load the bases in the ninth inning Thursday night, trailing 4-3, one out.
But it’s useful to take a step back and ponder what the Yankees did this week. Forgetting the almost comical dominance they’ve had over the Twins going back 20 years, the Twins are a good team, well in the hunt for the AL Central. These games were every bit as precious for the Twins as they were for the Yankees. More, even.
Now, you can make the chicken-or-the-egg argument if you factor the Twins into the mix, sure, but the fact is this is what Boone does best. He may not flip over many buffet tables. He may not air out his players in public, even if doing so would be tossing a few juicy carcasses to the hungry masses.
