I'm a Yankee fan and I'm sure the darkside of the force will rear it's head. I just meant that after hearing how good the Red Sox are the last couple of days I am just hoping the lowly Yanks can get a game. ;)

IMO, this Yankee/Sawx series has more appeal, and will likely be more exciting then the World Series.
Regardless of which teams end up being in the WS.
I would go as far as to say this series even has more national appeal. You can go anywhere in the country and find Yankee/Red Sox die hard fans and die hard haters (alright, well mostly Yankee haters, but that's just cause they are jealous :p)
This series is going to be tough for the Yankees.
It goes 7 games, and the Yanks find a way to pull off a win in game 7.

just being sarcastic. I would be shocked if this series was a sweep either way. The Yanks put 7 earned runs on Schill in Fenway earlier this season so you know they can do it, although it is October and Schilling is so tough in the postseason. It should be fun.

I agree Phil L., but a WS matchup between the Yanks/Sox winner and the Astros/Cardinals winner will have just about as much offensive firepower as the Yanks/Red Sox and should be fun to watch, it just wouldn't be as compelling from a rivalry standpoint.

Very true. The only thing the Yankees did in game 4 was make him work a little and got his pitch count up to the point he told Gardenhire to get somebody up. The Yanks actually swung the bats much better against him in game 1 and had nothing to show for it.

The Yankees should be ashamed of themselves if they don't win this series, and the W.S. for that matter. A team that makes it to the 6th game of the World Series in 2003, and adds Sheffield and A-Rod? Are you kidding me? Anything less than a W.S. ring would be pathetic.
Of course, I, and every other baseball fan in America not wearing pinstripes will be rooting for their demise. I just don't see it happening. Yankees, regrettably in five games.

The Yankees may have a better offensive team this year, but their pitching suck compared to last year. If they can't beat Schilling, they're in trouble. I don't see Pedro doing too well in this cold weather. Arroyo is gonna be a problem too if he stay pitching hot. I can't even name a Yankee starter that is pitching hot.

Fuck no(IMO). On one hand you've got the Astros, who just won a postseason series for the first time in their 43 year history. This team went from being left for dead to snatching the NL Wild Card at the last second.
On the other, you've got the Cardinals, who haven't been there since '87 and haven't won since '82. They're 3-2 in WS against the Yankees, but haven't met them since 1964. They're 2-0 against the Red Sox, and haven't met them in the WS since 1967.
One of these teams, which most didn't expect to even make the playoffs, will be in the World Series. We saw Yankees-Red Sox last year. It's going to be tough for this ALCS to top last year's finish. But we've never seen the Astros in the World Series. And we haven't seen a Cardinals-Yankees/Red Sox World Series for nearly 40 years. Either way, the World Series will be more exciting to me.

How did you guys solve Santana? I dont' remember you guys putting up many runs on the guy.
Even if you can hit those guys, where are your pitchers that can stop the Red Sox bats coming from?
I love the pitching matchups for the Sox, and the Yankees hardly looked unbeatable winning 2 bad wins out of 3 against the Twins, which have 0 run production.
I say Red Sox in 6. Go SOX!!!!
I would guess you guys beating Schilling tonight is your best chance of winning games, you have your ace going, the rest of your guys dont' matchup, even against Wakefield.
Sorry I just read all the posts, and see several others jumped on the solved Santana joke..
I think this matchup is going ot be exciting, but a Red Sox Vs Clemens led Astros team would be pretty d@m sweet too...
I think Pedro will come out and dominate in game 2, and wakefield and Arroya (sp?) will clean up games 3-4. Tonight is must win for the yankees imho. Series Goes 6, if .... if it goes 7, Yankees will win.

Couldn't agree more, Deftones, Esq. Despite the addition of A-Rod and Sheffield last year's Yankee team was much better equipped for postseason play because of pitching. It's been proven time and time again that good pitching will shut down even the best of offensive clubs.

George? I don't know if adding A-Rod and Sheffield can replace the loss of Clemens and Pettite. Plus, Curt Schilling can be one dangerous muthafucka.

I guess missing the playoffs last season made Cardinals fans hungry for tickets this year. I got DS and NLCS tickets in 2002 with no problem. A friend of mine tried for 5.5 hours to get them this year, with no luck. I casually put World Series tickets in my cart during the 2002 NLCS, just to see what was available. Coming off of a 105 win season after missing out the year before changes everything.

Sure, they lost Pettite and Clemens. But forgive me for not extending my sympathy when they acquire Vazquez and Brown to fill those holes. If you think about it, save Schilling, those were the two best options in the league to replace those guys.
Let's break this down, shall we?:
A=1 World Series team
B=2 starting pitchers
C=2/3 of the best pitching options available
D=2 possible Future H.O.F.'ers
A-B+C+D=X
How can X not equal a World Series ring? Anything short of that will be a miserable failure, no matter how welll Boston, St. Louis or Houston might play against them.

I dont' get where this great hitting tag comes from, did somebody forget about the Red Sox hitting? Yes, they have great hitting, but the red sox beat the yankees in every batting category this season, other then wins, and was right behind it.
They scores more runs, had more home runs, better on base percentage, and even more important run differential. The Yankees are a grea tteam, but the red sox offense is jus as good stats wise, maybe not name wise. Plus the Red Sox won 3 more head to head this year.

Well, I'd agree, except the Astros can certainly be placed into that category with no qualifications. And say that their top 5 is potentially as dangerous as just about any out there.

houston.. well.. they just won their first seasons in team history.. so i guess they already have their success..

Would you say that they were consistently solid offensively over, say, 4 of their last 5 games? This team did go 36-10 down the stretch with a sub-par bullpen. They rode thier horses on the mound, and they hit. A lot. I'm making no predictions here, but I am saying that they certainly can be mentioned in the same breath as the others.

It doesn't mean shit in the win column if you won by more than 10 runs, it's still 1 win. It doesn't mean shit too when you score 10 runs but lost by 1 run because your bullpen fucking blew it.

Who won the series head to head? That to me seems the fairest measure, unless they played the exact same teams, the exact same number of times.. which isn't the case obviously..
By your logic then the Red Sox are the better team, since they beat the yankees 3 more time this season head to head.

Oh, and by the way all those stats, weren't really arguing who's a better team, just a wakeup call to everybody saying that the yankees are the most powerful offense lineup. The numbers just aren't there to make the claim, the Red Sox have better offensive numbers.

If you are making the argument the Sox are better than the Yanks I would base it on starting pitching. Chrisih8u said it himself, last year's Sox were a better hitting team(one of the best in recent memory) than this year's Sox yet they still lost the division and the ALCS to the Yanks. It's all about starting pitching, namely Schilling and the fact the Yanks don't have Pettite, Clemens, and David Wells.

Agreed. I was simply stating the yankees aren't the best offensive team, there were several posts about how no lineup has been put together like that before offensively etc.
Pitching wins games, agreed.

All I know is that when this Sox team decides it wants to win, they are pretty unbeatable...I know alot of the press and fans here just assume its already a win because of a curse and what not. I wouldnt be so sure about that. Its obvious that the Yankees have had the Sox number in the past, but Ill take this Sox team anyday against any other team in baseball, including the Cardinals.

We are. I was just trying to say the head to head record isn't the be all, end all. I also wasn't trying to say the Yankees winning 3 more games than the Sox is the be all, end all. I was just trying to say it's hard to say a team is so much better than the other when the team didn't even beat the other to win their division. Oh well, fuck this, let's just see what happens.

I have a question for the Sox fans. The fans aside, just talking about the players. Do you think the players on the Sox and Yanks really hate each other? I think maybe Pedro and Posada do. I'm not convinced A-rod and Varitek do, Varitek was just sticking up for his guy. I always see Millar chatting with whatever Yankee is at first and vice versa.

I've only seen one roster tweak so far, and that's from Boston. Kevin Youkilis is out, Ramio Mendoza is in. Scott Williamson has elected to have elbow surgery, so any hopes of seeing him return in the postseason are gone.

I gotta put my computer back together, but I'll see if I can get it set up to take some screenshots. If not tonight's game, I'll do it for game 2.
Actually, I opted for the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro instead. I don't need all that All-in-Wonder stuff.

Hey folks, the key hit of that inning was Matsui's. No fucking shit, McCarver. It was a two out RBI.
