ARLINGTON, Texas — Throughout the Yankees’ dominance of the Twins in the postseason you never heard anything but respect out of Minneapolis regarding their big-market, deep-pocketed tormentors.
Now, with the clubs ready to open the ALDS with Game 1 Friday night at Yankee Stadium, Twins president and CEO Dave St. Peter flapped his gums recently and raised eyebrows throughout baseball.
“I just say it is time to slay the dragon, right,’’ St. Peter foolishly said.
Losing 13 straight in the postseason is annoying. When it’s to the same team — especially the Yankees — annoyance turns to frustration.
