    I love their chances against The Twins, then it could go either way against Tampa or Texas (probably Tampa). And if they make it to the WS, Philly seems unbeatable this year. Maybe the Giants will knock them off in what could be an absolute classic of an NLCS. That said, the Giants could beat the yankees in the Series anyway

    Agreed, I am not as confident as last year but I think they have a decent shot. The Phillies are definitely the team to beat.

    I agree as well, Oswalt really makes that big of a difference. Yanks would have to be patient and work counts to knock these guys out as early as possible.But we are getting ahead of ourselves. I feel Cano will shine this postseason..I think he's ready to have his team lean on him a bit

    Definitely. Cano was awful last year in the postseason. If Tex, A-Rod, and Cano are all on fire in the postseason, it'll be really tough to stop the Yankees, especially if runners are on when these three are up.

    yankees need swisher to show up this postseason too. think his postseason average last year was around .220.

    still wish girardi rested tex more down the stretch. broken toe is bitch of an injury for a baseball player to fight through.

    screw the 9:00 start tonight, that is awful!

    in CC we trust!

    Let's Rock..!

    My prediction....if the yankees go far in the playoffs Curtis Granderson will be a big reason why.
    Not sure why I feel that way but thats my vibe right now

    Haha you never know what will happen. They could have a 5 run first inning like they did in 1998 against Texas.

    What's all this whining? We had two 10pm games at the Rockies last year. :o

    You're right though - those late starts make it tough. But, hey, Game 3 of the World Series is at 6:57 or something.

    Yeah, I'll be up anyway. Last night I was watching the Stanley Cup Final at 5am. Woke up this morning and didn't even care. :D Guess it'll be different when I go back to work next week.

    I had a few last night and I thought it was great. Probably one of the best Octoberfests I have had this year.

    I was thinking about going with the saranac or dogfish head pumpkin but went with the Octoberfest. How's the Saranac?

    the saranac is great. it has been consistantly one of my favorite pumpkin ales for the past few years. dogfish head pumpkin ale is amazing too. very powerful flavor though... can't have too many in one sitting. saranac is smooth enough to have a night off of it.
