Game 1 of the ALDS was pretty rough on the Twins and the Red Sox. Each of them lost, and in pretty convincing fashion. The Twins were crushed by the Yankees 7-2, and the Red Sox were shutout by the Angels, 5-0.Tonight, the Twins will attempt to tie the series at 1 game apiece, sending Nick Blackburn to the mound against AJ Burnett and the Yankees, at 6:07 pm EST. 83% of FanIQ users predict the Yankees will win and take a 2-0 series lead.
In tonight's late game, Josh Beckett and the Red Sox will face Jered Weaver and the Angels. 54% predict the Angels will win. 100% hope that tonight's umpiring will be better than last night's debacle, but 0% are optimistic, since last night's atrocious 1st base umpire, CB Bucknor, will be the home plate umpire. If you have any questions about how Red Sox fans feel about Bucknor's performance last night, just take a look at the evolution of his Wikipedia page as the night progressed.
