stinks...2/15 this series, no RBI...completely disappeared (in the playoffs) since game 4 of the ALCS last year. The Yankees havent won it all since 2001, I think Mt. Steinbrenner is about to erupt!

Oh yeah, for sure. Steinbrenner, after all, was the guy who blew up at Dave Winfield, a Hall of Famer, for not performing in the post season, calling him "Mr. May", in contrast to Reggie Jackson's "Mr. October".
The Angels are a good team and deserved to win. The Yankees could have won, but let's face it, they have a lot of weaknesses.

To cripple the Angels and make Byrd start on 3 days rest...
hehe
Back to reality now. Angels are going to have a rough time. They flew overnight back to Anaheim for game 5 and now again they flew overnight to start game 1 against the White Sox. These guys slept in the airplane! And to make things worse, Colon may be out and the status of Washburn is unclear.
Sorry I didn't produce guys...the_big_E said:
On the serious side give a-rod credit, he came out right away and said he sucked. Don't forget one guy can't win it all. Play-offs is pitching, pitching and more pitching.
Why make the White Sox wait? They'd already scheduled Tuesday, and since there was nothing preventing this game from coming off, it went ahead as scheduled. Sometimes teams have to play back to back, even after a long travel day. That's just the way it is.the_big_E said:

The playoffs are about the same thing the regular season is - scoring more than your opponents, which is equal measures offense and defense.
1 + 1 = 2
ultimately its a moot point, even moreso that the Angels surprsingly took Game 1.
But, the rained out game occurred on Saturday, plenty of time to move it back, but whatever...

Actually while that was a clank, I meant v Ortiz. I think if Papi played even a sub-standard first base he would be MVP. As a DH, he's really not worthy, he only plays offence.
If I am an owner, salary aside I would take A-Rod on my team anyday. I don't think that there is a knowledgable ball fan in here who wouldn't.21pro said:
There isn't a club in the majors he wouldn't improve. He is the best player in the AL, perhaps the game. The only guy I'd put on his level is Pujols.A-ROD said:
