wang gives up 9 hr in over 200 ip. And gives up 2 in 4.
Sabathia walked 5 runners - if I remember correctly, he hadn't walked more than 3 in a game all year. It wasn't just Wang who was pitching bad. Yes, none of those five scored, but Sabathia wasn't holding up to the caliber he was made out to be either.
I like the result. Look at the Yankees past postseason series. Whoever wins game one ususally loses the series.
They made a mistake starting Wang. I had said it all week long, they needed to start the Wanger at home in game 3. He is a totally different pitcher at home. I would have gone Pettitte in game one and Clemens in 2.

but i've learned being a yankee fan all these years. that it doesn't matter if you're the other team. Sabathia had a good fastball. and they walked A-Rod when there was a chance he could've done some damage.
wasnt there year what do u want me to bitch about and be a baby all day long, then ill really get depressed, its the mets im used to it.least its another record no one in baseball.not a phony at all just hate shit like oh we have 26 rings and how many do u ahve and meanwhile your not even alive for 90% of them
This is incoherent, are you ok?
You act one way
and then turn around and try to act hard and tough when you don't like what somebody says.
It doesn't matter whether or not I was alive for them, the point is that whenever Yankee fans point how often they've won and the TRADITION and HISTORY of being a champion sports franchise, people who root for other teams get mad. Whatever. Haters. I didn't bash you or your team that's won all of 2 championships and never had a no hitter, when you all were losing, I was rooting for them to win for you.

My nephew is 10, big Yankee fan. He's been alive for 15% of the yankees World Series Champioships. I'm 32. Been alive for 19 % of them.
Of the current team, other than Damon and Clemens, who have they really thrown money at in the off season?
well, seeing as damon was a 05 offseason signing i would guess you are not talking about last year so here it goes - other than damon and roger you have farnsworth, giambi, mussina, pavano and pettitte (to bring him back). you could also throw igawa in there since they did "win" the right to negotiate with him.
The Yanks have an awful lot of homegrown talent on their team....
i will agree with this, but they also have the $$$ to keep a lot of their homegrown talent (jeter, rivera, posada) when the original contract is about to or has run out.
and yes, i'm a red sox fan and i will completely toss out the disclaimer that the red sox have a very large payroll as well and can afford to do pretty much the same things as the yankees.
Try playing the game like real men, and buy and develop players as they grow, instead of waiting for other teams to develop them and then buying them and bragging when they make you win. I have absolute 0 respect for the Yankees, and probably less for their fans. Hell, I could win a World Series given the salary cap they have. When a young, unexperienced team like the Indians is beating a well experienced team like the Yankees whom have been there before, you know this game is about pride and that the Indians fucking deserve this title 100x more than the Yankees. As it was said earlier, considering the batting lineup, the Yankees have 350 postseason appearances - the Indians have 84. Or, if you take away Kenny Lofton, 0.
try doing some research to demonstrate your own knowledge of the game before you go bashing fans of other teams.
over half of the yankees' current roster is made up of players who came through their minor league system.
and when the yankees won three world series in a row between 1998 and 2000, their "big name" free agent acquisitions were david wells and mike stanton.
wang didn't have it tonight. his sinker wasn't sinking. without even looking at a score i would know something didn't go right because he gave up a couple hrs.
the game would have obviously been a lot different had the yanks taken advantage of a less than stellar sabathia with his 5 walks. bases loaded in the 5th and he gets a pop-up to get out of the inning.
carmona vs. pettitte will be interesting. if carmona is on (and he has been since the all-star break) the yanks are going to have a rough night. then again, i have my own game to worry about hoping that daisuke can throw like he did the last time i started.

i think john sterling had said his walk average was lower than 1.5 per 9 innings on the season.

How is this shit - I'd really like to know.
Maybe you guys can buy Kenny Lofton next year? It's how you usually solve your postseason problems.

I was pulling up to my house, or else I probably would have! Sunday better be a good day....they are 3-0 this year when I've been in attendance!

Yes they do. Even though we went back out and brought Andy back, he too started out on the farm long ago.
They're a bunch of overpaid, spoiled pussies.

the loss was expected (see my prev. posts) but not by that many runs
I expect Andy to come up big tomorrow night. I'm glad they start these games early, I'd be even more pissed if I'd stayed up late to watch it

Haven't been paying attention the last few years, huh? That line may have worked in 2002, though.

Mussini, Giambi, Damon, A-Rod, Clemens? Yeah, they have homegrown talent, but they still bought all of those stars.
