Yankees v Angels Discussion

Maybe...but the Yankees' comebacks proved something. It's how their season has gone all year. 1998 was full of games where they were never out of it. Same type of work. They are NEVER out of a game. As they showed in this series and as they've shown all season long.

Hughes bends but doesn't break. And Joba isn't joining the rotation. He's been used too much to just throw him back in the rotation. He'll stay put. What was the final score of tonight's game? 4-1. Who gave up the only run? Andy Pettitte. Who drove in the RBI? The best hitter (average wise) in the majors.

At least we don't have to see any river dancing.

Rodriguez VS Guerrero.  Going to be a good fight.

Did I spell Guerrero right?

Arod vs Vlad ?

Vlad isnt the Angels best hitter.....Vlad is almost washed up compared to what he used to be.

Anybody know that Torii Hunter guy  ?

You mean like the Celtics v Lakers?

Abreu and Morales can get considerations too.

Look at this comparison

              AB      R     H  2B   HR    RBI

Tex         609     86   178   43  39    122

Morales    566    103   173   43   34   108

i could swear that andy and jorge are pretty old and johnny isnt far behind.

the yankees do have a threat at every at bat to hit it out of the park, luckily they dont hit it out of the park at every at bat 

lets see here...

yanks scored 

G1 7 runs

G2 4 runs

G3 4 runs

angels scored

G1 5runs

G2 4runs

G3 7runs

and the angels were up against better pitching

so keep drinking whatever you are drinking thats helping you think the angels have no chance.

to me this series is a coin flip, great pitching and hitting on both sides, its a matter of situational scoring that will play the part to either teams victory.

its going to be one hellava series so sit back and enjoy.

sparky i need a hug 

I think this series is going to come down to which team steals a game on the road......I think that Weaver will pitch game 3 at home where he is a lot better.....Lackey, Kaz, Weaver.....Lackey could easily steal one at Yankee stadium but I would lean to the Angels having a better chance at stealing game 2 with AJ on the mound. Coin flip series....The Angels bullpen could be the Achilles heal in this one, eventhough they have gotten better as the year has progressed.
