Didn't the Yankees sweep the Sox in a 4 game series this season? And then a 3 game series later on? All after starting off 0-8. Anyway...
I'm not saying this team is better than the 98 Yankees...not many teams in history were as good as they were. However...this team is better than the Angels. They have the better bullpen. They have homefield advantage(which you can ask anyone, is more important than you make it out to be), and A-Rod is FINALLY clutch. Every single RBI he has gotten has been in a huge spot. Sabathia, Burnett and Pettitte were absolutely dominant in their starts. These Yankees will prove to everyone that they are worth every penny. Even if it takes 7 games to do so.
You talk about how the Angels have the Yankees' numbers. However, they are 5-5 this season against the Yanks(I think their best record against them in years). If the Angels can break the losing streak against the Red Sox...why can't the Yankees break their losing streak against the Angels? Also note that the Angels and Yankees have not met in an ALCS series. A 7 game series is a lot different then a 5 game series.
You know what? The Yankees have been doubted all season long. Not many people thought they would keep the pace that they did. Pleanty of people on here said they wouldn't sweep the Twins(for some odd reason) and they did. Now everyone is already saying the Angels are going to the World Series because of the past and I love it. The media was all over A-Rod, Sabathia, Burnett and Tex for getting all this money and said they wouldn't do anything in the postseason. Or that they would have to prove the them wrong before anything can be said different. They all did just that. They proved the media wrong and they got the job done. They have a huge chip on their shoulders and they will not go down quitely...thats for sure. When they went 3-1 against the Angels in September, they played 3 of those games like playoffs games(the last one was after they clinched and they had the Double-A lineup in)...especially the game in New York. They know how to beat the Angels now. It's only a matter of time until they prove it to all the doubters. Friday to be exact.
nope i met in the playoffs the yankees couldnt sweep the red sox in the playoffs. and as far as the series down in LA, the yankees saw it has a huge series for them cause they know whose there daddy but the LAA didnt see it is a big series they were resting for the playoffs. What doubters LMAO there favorites to win it all you didnt hear the news. theres a diffrence in doubtinig and presenting facts, arod hasnt done nothing in the playoffs its a fact till this laughable division series likewise with sabathia. the media doubting are u kidding me chip carrey calling an arod home run in a gm2 of a divisional game, his "reggie jackson" moment LOL. yankees are the medias darling

LMAO sparky i love goin back and forth with you. but hey man this is not the best yankee team i seen since they won it all. Im not drinking the KOOL-AID yet the twins jus had no shot after that devasting defeat of gm 2. LAA on the other hand riding sky high. sweeping the red sox ohhh my, now thats something even the YANKEES CANT buy!!!!!!!!!!!
You make a good point. The Angels sweep was definitely more telling of the Angels peaking at the right time. The Yankees sweep didn't really tell us anything. Every bettor in the universe knew that the Yankees would beat the Twins. The sweep was just a little icing on the cake.
In all honesty, I think it really is a tossup. It just boils down to who is pitching well on a given day.
D@mn, I, for the life of me, can't give an edge to either team.

that yankee bullpen not looking so hot ether, hughes second gm and a row looking awful this feels like laa vs yankee series, yankees with no bullpen especially when joba joins the rotation

Another statement made without backup. So the Angels don't plan on using Figgins, Aybar, Abreu, Vlad, Hunter, Rivera, Morales, Izturis and Napoli in the playoffs? Because they were very much in those final 4 games against the Yanks. They weren't resting.
In the past...A-Rod wouldn't have had those clutch hits. In the past...Sabathia would have been smoked by the Twins. And there are some saying the Yankees will win it all, and others (ala ESPN, they main sports channel) who say the Angels or Red Sox would win because the Yankees choke. Or...the people here on covers who doubts the Yankees, like they always do. And A-Rod's Game 2 Homer being called his "reggie jackson moment" is so much better than what he past moments were...being the goat...right? And everyone LOVES to rag on the Yankees when they lose. The media...the public...EVERYONE. The Yankees aren't going to let that happen this time. No Chance do they go down easily. They will fight to win this series.
