2007 Yankees

It is funny that vegas oddsmakers have installed The Yankees as the favorite to win both the ALCs and the World Series, but 70% of ESPN's "experts" have them losing in the 1st round. I do think the Indians will be tough, though. If Game 1 is huge. It'll be tough for the Tribe to win 3/4, with 2 in Yankee Stadium. Let's hope Hafner stays cool, as he has been all year. Let's also hope that CC hasn't learned how to beat the Yanks over the last 3 years, a she's 1-7 against them but hasn't pitched against them since 20040

well the indians have a good team, and wang's ability to pitch on the road worries me.
the other part of it is that no one wants to hear why the yankees are gonna win. ESPN knows this as well as anyone. it doesn't make for good reporting. people watch the playoffs to see the yankees lose. a great use of their time, i'm sure.
the fact that sabathia hasn't faced the yankees since '04 might be a cause for concern. the yankees don't do well against pitchers they haven't seen, and in this case we're talking about one of the best in the league. also, they were terrible all year against lefties on the road.
lol... you called him a "she." i don't even think it was on purpose either. that's what makes it so funny.0 -

ticketmaster released tier 18 seats for the public sale after only LF bleacher seats were made available for the lottery sale?
wow. who should i be mad at about this? ticketmaster or the yankees?
i have a friend who ordered his tickets two days before i did because he has a partial season plan, and even he didn't get seats as good as tier 18.
well... congrats on that at any rate...
Yeah, I was pretty surprised that I got those within seconds of the general on sale. As scary as it sounds, it might have been the best Ticketmaster experience I've had.
It it helps, my seats are close to the top!0 -

CT based ESPN hates the yanks. There are many New Englanders within those so called experts.
Though I must say after what happened last year with Detroit I am nervous.PJ - 36

ok, so the jew hating autograph seeking Ump mans the plate for Game 1. Doesn't mean anything, I just wanted to use the phrase "Jew Hating Autograph Seeking Ump"
And yes, the she comment was both accidental and hilarious0 -

True, though if I remember right, Laz Diaz is pretty bad. The best umps are the ones you've never heard of. Laz Diaz is a name I remember.0

you know what, you're right. I looked into it, and I know his name from when he was attacked by a drunk fan at Comiskey in 2003. I have besmirched Laz Diaz' good name, and now I feel bad for it.0

although most espn guys are picking the indians, last nights special both baseball tonight dudes picked Yankees Phillies World Series.
That is also my prediction.

Ohlendorf and Veras make the roster, Villone does not. No lefty in the bullpen for the first round. Bit of a surprise with the tribe so lefty oriented. (Hafner, Sizemore, plus Martinez switch hits)0

don't even get me started on joe west. joe west is a walking counter example to the theory of evolution.
whose bright idea was it to put him on the same crew as c.b. bucknor this year?
i have to say though, i'm not a big fan of bruce froemming either. i'm definitely happy that he's retiring at the end of the year.0 -

since division series play began in 1995, the yankees are 2-5 when winning game one and 5-0 when losing game one.
1998 and 1999 were the only two years in which the yankees won the ALDS after winning game one. they swept the rangers both years and held them to two runs combined over those six games.0 -
and each of their last three series' have seen them win the first game.Reading 2004
