not only am i happy the Yanks won, but i'm happy that it was a GOOD SERIES. not one sided at all. many great memorable moments to take away. as for the game itself, it was semi-tense in the 9th with the final out. Victorino was a tough out and Mo was having trouble putting him away. if...

oops, scratch that: "It looked like the camera was out over the fence," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The umpire told me that before the game that they talked about that, and if it hit the camera that it was going to be a home run." But Manuel said that if the umpires discussed that...

i don't think that A-Rod shot would have gone out, that camera was sticking out way over the fence, and it hit the lens. simple physics. gotta feel for Ryan Howard. when he's not facing lefty starters, it's AJ Burnett. these strike zones are so ten years ago.

btw ratings for game 2 were up 44% from last year's game 2.

Lee is starting game 5, Blanton's Game 4. i don't think A-Rod's nerves have anything to do with it, his insecurities have had PLENTY of opportunities in the ALDS and ALCS to get the better of him, and yet he's responded not just with solid contact, but with homers. i think it's just superior...

MO IS THE MAN. and to think that he's dominating the way he is, at his age. words cannot describe. but wow, that strike zone was huge tonight. but consistently huge. A-rod has been off 2 nights in a row(!) i heard something like in the first 3 games of the Angels series, he never...

Ozzie Guillen will be doing analysis for the WS, it should be pretty entertaining :)

heavy rain is forecast for saturday. if game 6 and 7 get pushed back one night, Lackey would start a hypothetical game 7...

wow, another close entertaining game. so many if's. Scioscia pulling Lackey early was a head scratcher, but Girardi putting in Marte was equally puzzling. maybe one day a manager will have the balls to put in their closer in the 7th in the situation where Burnett lets the first 2 batters on...

If the Phillies are going to have any chance, it will be because for the most part, only Jeter and A-Rod have been doing well offensively. before the last game, everyone else was mini-slumping. so how many pitching changes / mound visits for the Yanks tonight? :)

value is subjective. if you took ARod away from the Yankees, they still make the playoffs (though in retrospect they'd probably be eliminated :) ). you take Pujols away from the Cards, they're sub 500. i was thinking how it would be if Pujols played for the Yankees :) but there's just no...

crazy game last night. what the hell was Cano thinking, just standing there at third and not stepping on the base? what was Posada thinking running back to the base when he sees Cano there? and the ump calls only one of them out. pretty funny when Posada forgets there's only 2 outs, and...

wow, did they call Swisher out just to balance out the bad call at second base? :) i'm surprised they replayed the bad call at second base on the screens in the stadium, they usually don't do that.

Rivera? i think he's looking pretty good, probably the only premier closer to still be so in this post season.

i dunno. this ain't the same Vlad. plus, going into the series, his postseason history was worse than A-Rod's :P (rbi-wise at least). friday can't come soon enough.

so RS Fans: what did you think of the Intentional Walk? i didn't think it was that big a deal at the time (in truth, Papelbon just didn't have it and either way he probably would have lost) but Red Sox Nation seems to be up in arms...

the easiest way to find out is play a DVD on your computer, which has no overscan. then play it on your tv and compare. anyways, in the Yankee game. i'm surprised Girardi lifted Pettite when he did, he only threw 81 pitches, but i guess he wanted to give Chamberlain some meaningful innings...

it's pretty unbelievable that the ump missed the call on Mauer's "double" last night, especially when replays show him hunched down looking squarely in that direction, unobstructed. still, the impact on the game is probably similar to Inge's non-hit-batsman in game 163, which the Twins totally...

also it was a sweep, or 4-1. nobody likes a sweep, even *I* was totally bored with that series. it was completely one-sided. i hope the Yanks get in the WS but i also hope it's at least a challenge.

as much as people talk about anti-Yankee sentiment, there's also "Yankee Nation" too. every time the Yankees go to Anaheim, Tampa Bay, Baltimore... there's almost as many Yankee fans as home team fans. of course this may not have a large correlation with the passive fan which makes up the...

i'm surprised Fox isn't hoping for Yankees/Dodgers. anyways, i think the Twins/Tigers game will be remember for years to come. i just love it when, in extra innings, a team goes ahead and then the other teams ties it up again :) i wonder how often that happens :P as for the Twins chances...

WOW. epic game tonight. congrats to the Twins.

wouldn't it be hilarious if Pavano ends up pitching against the Yanks in post season? :)

the Sox only started 2 regulars. i guess they're confident enough to turn it on when it matters.

nice to see Chamberlain finally having a decent outing. also with Posada catching - it seems like alot of times his catching ability comes into question. also, this was the first time i've heard an Eckersley broadcast. Mike: what's the story with this guy?!?!? i know you complain about the...

how things can change so quickly. with Beckett back and Dice-K pitching well, the Sox go into the stretch looking pretty good, and it's the Yankee rotation that looks shakey :)

back in the late 80's / early 90's, then they Jays contended every year, there was a season where Baltimore was in second place most of the season, behind the Jays, and for an incredible 1 or 2 stretch, they remained between 0.5 and 2.0 games back for the entire stretch. it was uncanny...

and Contreras just went 6.2 innings and held the Diamondbacks to 1 run :) in terms of AL vs NL, this year the AL is 138-114, which translates to a .548 winning percentage. while this may seem to be only slightly over .500, one must remember that baseball is a sport where even the elite teams...

maybe they can trade him to an NL team and he'll dominate. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

accoring to si.com: of 134 starts against the Yanks this year, only 9 times has a starter gone 7 innings and got the win*. only ONCE has this happened with a right handed starter in Yankee Stadium (Brett Myers of the Phillies, 5/22). speaking of right handed starters in Yankee Stadium, they...
