QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) Gotta give the halos credit, I figured they'd fold when the Yankees took the lead. Good fight. Agreed. I thought the game was over of course I also thought Girardi would got straight to his pen and maybe even give Rivera 2 innings to close that game out. I still will never understand that pitch that Hughes threw to Guerrero in the 7th. Also, can you even play Swisher anymore if you are the Yankees? He is basically single handedly costing you the series by screwing up constantly with runners in scoring position.

Nick Swisher really sucks at baseball.

Wow that was really close.

Holy s*** Swisher with a chance to be the hero.

And the tying run at 2nd base now for Robinson Cano. Walk him and make Swisher beat you?

Angels not giving ARod a chance to beat them.

That was a huge run that the Angels left at 3rd base.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) Hughes just refused to listen to Posada. Tried to get too cute and should have definitely gone with the breaking ball again. Hughes definitely shook him off there a couple of times but if your Posada go out there and tell him to throw the breaking ball in the dirt. There is absolutely no reason to ever throw Guerrero a fastball anywhere near the zone in that situation and that is twice the Yankees have done that in key situations in the series and it has killed them both times.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:48 PM) Which is odd because Hughe's curve was supposed to be phenomenal when he was coming up in the minors. He's just another pitcher who fell in love with his fastball. His curve is his best pitch and was clearly his best option tonight. He made Guerrero look really bad when he threw him the curveball.

Angels go back on top. I'm going to say that the pitch selection to Guerrero has to be one of the all time dumbest pitches I have seen. 1-2 count against a guy who swing at crap out of the zone all the time and had looked terrible against Hughes breaking ball and you throw a fastball. I will never get that.

Phil Hughes really struggling tonight and really though out the postseason. If the Yankees advance that could be a possible weakness for them.

Terrible pitch selection there again by the Yankees. I'll say it again when you have Guerrero with two strikes why the f*** are you throwing a fastball on the next pitch. So dumb. But huge inning for the Angels obviously.

Abreu gets a run home on a groundout. Hughes coming in to face Hunter.

First two reach against Burnett and Girardi going to Marte...WTF?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) I wouldn't be surprised if the Angels come back in this game. Well they better come back in the next two innings because if it gets to Rivera with the lead...good luck

I'm really surprised Burnett is still in this game.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) God, i hope the Phillies put up a fight. I think they can. I don't like their bullpen and outside of Lee I really don't like their SP because I can't see any way Pedro and Blanton hold down the Yankee offense but I think they can score and make the series competitive that way.

Complete meltdown by the Angels bullpen. Looks like the Yankees are probably heading to the WS.

Darren Oliver=Fail

Wow, bases clearing double for Tex. Lackey is probably pissed.

Gets Damon, now it looks like Oliver coming in to face Tex with the bases still loaded.

Huge AB coming up for the Yankees. Damon up with the bases loaded and one out. Still a 4-0 Angels lead.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) Weaver's on tap for game 6 right? I think it is Saunders then Weaver but I'm not sure. Angels finally getting the benefit of some calls tonight. A couple of called third strikes that definitely weren't strikes and Damon was definitely safe at first there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) With Lackey on the mound, good chance that this series goes back to NY and Pettitte I think the Angels need to keep scoring runs but it looks good for them to get the series back to NY. Especially with a seemingly big strike zone being called tonight.

AJ Burnett getting absolutely destroyed early on. Also, Tex is having just a horrible postseason at the plate for the Yankees outside of that game winning HR against the Twins.
