One loss down; three to go.

Unfortunately, this is not a joke...

As gladden said in post game-have to suck it up and find a way to win!!! Yankees are beatable!!! Just need to find a way these next 3 games/be in striking distance of Cleveland and take over division this coming weekend.

Sadly, there are no ties.  Just defeats.

Typical Twins game.  The Yankees didn't play that well and the twins, like normal, couldn't take advantage.  Pagan should have been released months ago.  He's been very bad for three seasons now.  This year with the Twins he's been a joke.  But he and the coaches say he has good stuff.  Do any of these people watch the game?  If some of these players come back soon Pagan should be the first to go.

Gladden had a a different perspective. Judge will beat you, your pitchers have to shut down everyone else and make sure there isn't anyone on base ahead of him.

Even when mired in a real significant slump, Yanks will ALWAYS find ways to beat the Twins. I wish they never had to play them. They just can't beat the Yankees.

Another questionable decision to bring in Megill, The yanks had a string of righty's coming up, so why not bring in the guy that has pretty much dominated righty's this year in Farner?

Perkins said something similar on the TV broadcast.

yep, I was watching that at bat too and was shaking my head and wondering why they were pitching to him.  Rocco simply has to know not to let Megill pitch to him with the way he has routinely been grooving pitches to batters for several weeks now.

This is why Rocco needs to go, he does not make good in game decisions based on the scenario playing out in front of him.  This isn't hard and I don't think quality managers make this mistake.  It's a pattern, enough is enough.
