i love how yankee fans like to say the nl is inferior and the rockies and dodgers are not decent competition. they played a team in the first round that won, what? 87 games? and it took them an extra game to win that many. then this angels team just seems overrated to me. blowing leads left and right. although, as i type this vlad just got a big rbi single. stil, bobby fucking abreu is batting 3rd for them. come on! when's the last time he's had a big hit after the 7th inning?!?! has he hit a homerun since the 05 home run derby? . no heart. never had one.
regarding cc being abused last year. yeah, he obviously pitched a shitload of innings down the stretch. but you know what? he was dominant in all those performances until he came across the world champions line up and the world champions fans....and bret myers . yeah, he was tired. that's why a fucking pitcher caused him to throw 11 pitches to him :roll: . the fans got into his head. and our line up beat the bejesus out of him......with that said, he will be a lot tougher pitching in his own park.
gonna be a great series. i think the key is with hamels and burnett. two dudes who have struggled.
hey metsfan....i think you were the one who objected to me saying the phils were trying to make history by winning another title this year and becoming one of the best teams of the last 30+ years.
um, yeah...if you still disagree with that, i implore to check out the front page of today's USA Today.
NO ONE brings it like The Jeagler!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Vancouver 11

Portland 13, Spokane 13
St. Paul 14, Denver 14
and now, i will breakdown this series for you:
LINE UP:
RF. Advantage... World Champions. Werth is much better offensively and defensively than Swisher. Swisher is absolute garbage. Seems like a douche bag as well. I would like to punch him in the face.
CF. Advantage...World Champions. Victorino is better at the plate and in the field. Cabrera is pretty good though.
LF. Advantage...Push/maybe slight World Champs. Ibanez has better power numbers, Damon has better average, and OBP. Ibanez is a little better in the field--but defense is not either of their strong points. Plus Ibanez has not looked very good since mid June.
1B. Slight Advantage...World Champions. Texiera is the best defensive first baseman in the league, but Howard's power numbers trump him. Plus, the NLCS MVP has 9 more rbi's in the post season.
2B. Slight Advantage...World Champions. Defensively they are about even. Utley's 2 throwing errors last week were an aberration. He's a decent defensive 2nd basemen like Cano is. Offensively, Cano has a much better average, but 26 has better power numbers and an OBP about 40 points higher.
SS. Slight Advantage...Yankees. Defensively, Rollins is a much better player but he has had a below average offensively to say the least. Jeter doesnt have the power and run producing numbers that Rollins has, but he makes up for it in average and OBP.
3B. Advantage...Yankees. They actually have similiar fielding percentages. I was expecting Feliz's to be much higher but they are basically the same. Offensively, no question about it. However, sooner or later A-Fraud will realize it's October...hey oh
C. Slight Advantage Yankees. Chooch is having a stellar post season yet again. He's one of the best defensive catchers in the game. But Posada's offensive numbers are much better.
DH. Unfair Advantage...Yankees. Stupid rule. Stupid Japanese hitter who has not played in the field at all this year. F him and F the DH.
PITCHING:
1. Push...maybe slight advantage Yankees. CC and Lee are pretty even. CC's numbers look better because Lee was on a bad team and got traded. Their post season numbers are insanely good though. Both of them. The Phils crushed CC last year more a result of the fans getting in his head than with him being overused. Him pitching at home is an advantage.
2. Push...maybe slight advantage Yankees. Burnett vs Pedro. You don't know which one of these guys is going to show up. I don't think Pedro can repeat what he did the other week. But if he gives us 5 or 6 decent innings, I will be pleased. Burnett is a punk. I would like to kick him in the nuts. He is good for at least one or two lengthy bad stretches during a game. Gotta take advantage.
3. Advantage...Yankees. Only because of Pettite's post season record and you don't know which Hamels will show up. Plus his fast ball was struggling to hit 90 last week. But, if he regains is MVP form from last year....look out Greg--you son of a bitch!
4. Advantage...Phillies. The Yanks are only going with a 3 man rotation I think. We might throw Blanton in Game 5 (match Lee with CC in game 4). I think our rotation is deeper.
Bullpen. Advantage...Yankees. Both pens looked great in the post season. Phil Hughes struggled a bit but so did Madsen. But the Yanks were more consistent during the season and you gotta go Rivera over Lidge based on this year's performance.
SO.......
Offensively, in New York, its pretty much a push with a slight edge to the Yanks because of the stupid DH. If the Phils can split and retake home field....advantage, World Champions.
I love that the Yankees lost their first game at home! and, I'm SO glad that Pearl Jam had the scorecard every so often...I thought that was a lot of fun!
wake up people...we just won game 1. game 2 is a little over 10 hours away.
GO CHAMPS
Is that your dog and he/she give you permission to plaster their picture all over the internet? To the demise of the Yanks, here here

what did they do? show the score on the big screens throughout?
i'm SO hoping they show us the last couple innings on saturday night...and then come out and play till 2 am!
that guy was in a full out groove all night long.
When linedrives start landing in the web of your glove behind your back,
you know things are going your way .
I am still positive feeling that you guys hadda take 1 of the first 2 on the road.
The rotation remaining could realistically go both ways but i'm giving my yankees the nod .
2 great formidable teams .
PS for you guys that mustve been great to have your superstar utley crack those 2 homers.
grrrrr

You know those boxing-ring girls, who walk around with before each round?? Well, they had a girl doing that with the score every few innings!! Every time she'd come out and we'd see the score, the entire Spectrum would just erupt...it was awesome.

Auhhhhh man that would've been too much but hey we do love our sport teams. My daughter is a Yankees fan and that's as bad as it gets. :oops: :shock: To think I've been taking her to Red Sox games since she was a baby now cutie pies like Jeter and Anod are attractive her. :shock:

The World Champions will clinch on New Yankee Stadium's field one week from today. I will see you Friday, November 6th at the parade.
