October 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) I'm telling you, we aren't going to just win automatically. The team will be better then Boston was game 1. At least you'd think so. I hope nobody is just assuming a win tomorrow, you can't assume wins in any game in the playoffs. Just cause pitching matchups are in your favor doesn't mean you're going to win, not even close.
October 11, 200520 yr I don't think anybody is just assuming we will win, but you have to admit that things are going better than we could have hoped for them to go for the opposition. The only way it could get better would be for them to tie it up and go into massive extra innings. But as of now, I like the way this game is turning out. I would rather see both teams perform like this, then one of them get a rush from winning, than both teams play brilliantly and then one get even hotter from winning.
October 11, 200520 yr I wonder just how bad Colon is? If he's not able to go at all, we have a BIG advantage in pitching. Still, K-ROD makes me nervous. If we're ahead enough in the series, hopefully we don't have to see him much.

October 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) Id rather face K-Rod than Rivera in a situation like that. Thing is, I'd rather face the guys that lead up to Rivera than the guys that lead up to K-Rod.
October 11, 200520 yr Author Santana appears to be hitting his stride now. Spanks cant seem to touch him now.
October 11, 200520 yr All around I agree that LAA's pitchers are better then the Spankees - up until Rivera. Someone who has some time, what is our splits like this year against K-Rod.

Problem there is torre will use Flash and then MO for two so that ain't easy right there. Donnelly aint what he was and shields has had a few problems as of late and Krod still ain't in MO's league. They got a good bullpen but I think we have the deepest bullpen in the playoffs.

October 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) And if the Spankees can't hit him, could we? Who are you talking about? Krod?
October 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) Who are you talking about? Krod? No, Santana. Usually pitchers like this kill us. Didn't he kick our ass earlier in the year?

October 11, 200520 yr so when would mussina/johnson face the sox if they when, and same with colon......Game 3...4?

October 11, 200520 yr You know what, I'm just so stoked we are talking about potential ALCS matchups I don't care if we face the Kansas City Chiefs. This is just unreal. I can't wait for tomorrow's game. Go Yanks, or Go Angels, or whoever.
October 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) Thats assuming that Bartolo is ok, too. Bart has had back problems most of the 2ndhalf, and it appears to be getting worse. I would HIGHLY doubt he will pitch in the ALCS and probably the WS, if they make it, for that matter. Either way were sitting VERY pretty.
October 11, 200520 yr I'm telling you, they will find a way to pull a rabbit out of their ass. We need to be READY. I hope they are scouting the crap out of this game and all the others on tape before this game.
October 11, 200520 yr That last call seemed pretty questionable on that replay they just showed. I'd like to see a better angle to see if Cano was out of the basepath.
October 11, 200520 yr Its not an out of the baseline call, its a fair territory call and it looked like West got it right
October 11, 200520 yr Author Johnson is keeping the Spanks in this game. They need to find a way to get on the board now.
