It pains me to say so as I really hoped for much better play (offensively and defensively) from the Twins, but the A's outplayed the Twins at nearly every aspect in the series. Santana had a damn good game one, but it wasn't enough as Zito pitched a hell of a game 1 himself and limited the Twins bats more than Santana did with the A's. I think that was a huge morale downer for the Twins and their offense never really clicked well. Their heads were not in the right place while the A's did just about everything right.
As I said in another thread somewhere, I wasn't going to watch game three since I needed to mow the lawn. That's exactly what I did. I mowed the yard, trimmed the bushes and trees, flung dogshit at my neighbor's dog and then came in well after the game was over.
Good luck to you guys in the next round. You played like winners in round 1 and deserve the series.
