Just finished the live chat on our website. Head over to the home page and check it out!

Hope you're enjoying our playoff preview. Joe C. did quite a job with the main story and we have much more in the paper and on our website.

Here's one perspective on the Twins trying to be the Yanks, with an interesting story about Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.

And, of course, the continue-the-dominance thing.

Heading to the ballpark soon. Things won't really start popping until around 4 p.m. when the pre-game press conferences take place.

Meanwhile here are the lineups. Gardy confirmed his on Sunday. The Yankees lineup hasn't been made official (Joe Girardi wanted to ``sleep on it" but this based on consultation with Yankees beat writers. Will correct if I need to. Joe C. will have the game day blog later.
