Lifelong Yankee fan- confident in the team but still worried about the Angels. LAA was the one team I hoped the Yanks would avoid in the playoffs. In truth, Minnesota bailed out the Yankees pitchers and Girardi's bullpen management with poor baserunning, and that's one aspect of the game in which the Angels especially excel. The ability of the Angels' to consistently go from first to third on singles is unnerving, and potentially disastrous for an outfield that clearly can't throw (possible exception being Swisher, who is often out of position due to lack of OF experience). Personally, I'd like to see Damon sit, with Gardner in center and Melky in left to help offset this potential advantage. Of course, if the Yanks bring the bats, then it doesn't really matter what the Angels do. Should be an interesting series; hope the weather holds.

GO ANGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From a New Yorker

I'm a big Yankee's fan. I figured that the Yankees could win in 6 games. Now I don't know. Sure they did real well in the first two games but all it takes is for them to choke a little and the Angels to get a couple small breaks in the next two games and then we are tied at 2. That's kind of the opposite of how its happening for the Yankees now. No one is really dominating the other. All it took in game 2 was a small slip-up by a pitcher and the game could have been over about 2 hours earlier. The Yankees shouldn't look at it like they won two, need two more, are ahead 2-0, but look at it like they need to win 2 of the next 5 games. Fresh start. Go out there and dominate.
