David, meet Goliath. After last night's thrilling victory over Detroit, the Minnesota Twins now must shake off their champagne hangovers to face the heavily-favored New York Yankees in the Bronx. The game's opening pitch is set for 6:08 pm, which is a little more than 20 hours after the Twins emerged from their emotional, adrenalin-drenched playoff with Detroit. In any case, playoff baseball is here, and this should be a good one. Now, then: let's keep this civil.
