One, if they keep playing like crap, the Yanks won't win the AL East and therefore won't play the Twins. Second, the Twins are a good team. They might play in a bad division, but they can hang with the likes of Boston, Oakland, etc. Third, the Twins also have Brad Radke, who is having a very solid year, and a very good bullpen. They might not have a solid third, fourth, and fifth starter, but yet their pitching staff is still having a better year than the Yankee's.
And with 2 good outings from Santana, and another solid outing from either Radke, Silva, or Mullholland, we beat the Yankees in a 5 game series.
