Role Reversal.

Read enough Mike Vaccarro during the season and you'd think the Yankees were going to lose 100 games instead of winning 100 games.

Now, he gives the Twins no shot in the first round.

One of his reasons? "And, by the way, the Yankees made Santana look more human in the process than any team has since the middle of July. "

Truly, this is a flat-out lie.

Last week vs. the Yankees, Santana allowed 1 run and 3 hits over five innings. One walk and five strikeouts. He retired the last 11 Yankees he faced and left with a 3-1 lead before the bullpen blew it.

Since the all star break, Santana is 13-0 with a 1.21 era.

I personally think the Yankees are a better overall team, but Santana is unbeatable right now. That's two games out of five. So, yeah, I'd give the Twins a shot.
