So...Who Are The Yankees Facing In The ALCS?

I'm rooting for the Rays. But...does it really matter?

Yankees to the World Series

Hamilton said he felt "very sore" when he woke up this morning but is "feeling better" than before.

Rays will have Garza on the mound game 3 in Texas!!!!  What does that spell? Ass Kicking

Lee will not lose to the Rays

Lee is 0-3 against the Rays this season with an ERA of 4.66.

TB will struggle to win a game in Texas and I will take Lee to win atleast one game in TB

Nothing excuses someone acting like a complete dick.  Especially if they are knowingly doing it.

I'm working on my "thick skin". If it's a repeat of the 2009 World Series...I gotta be ready for these Philly fans.

If I give a lengthy writeup on why I think the Yankees will win...would that make me less of a dick?

And feel free to bump this thread if they lose. However...I know a few people who would be bumping this if the Twins lead 1-0 in the 1st inning of Game 1.

I guess we'll have to see how Pettitte performs under pressure. He's never done that before.

It was a terrible stretch. To have over a month's worth of terrible road starts and still have an ERA under 5 means you did something right somewhere along the lines. And now he has extra rest. So instead of not being able to put someone away...he now can.

But also note...who in the AL has a 3rd starter that can shut down the Yankees? Hughes will probably be good for 5-6 innings of 4 run ball. It's not good...but Dunsing (sp?) probably won't shut down the Yanks in New York.
