[ALCS] New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels

[DJ Fog]

Both teams swept their respective ALDS series, and the series for AL Pennant begins Friday, October 16th.

angels in 4

fuck the yankees

[killgod]

Yeah, I doubt the Yankees will be swept.

Of coarse you were joking. I mean if your serious then you must be crazy.

Please. Stranger, MUCH stranger things have happened in pro sports than two fairly strong teams ending in a 4 game sweep.


I'm sure a Yankee fan would know this.

[killgod]

I do know this. The Angels won't sweep the Yankees though. I can almost guarantee that.

Yeah I bet on October 16th 2004 you were almost guarenteeing an ALCS victory.

I want the Angels but I'm going to say Yankees in 6. That lineup is just too powerful. 8 guys OPS+ing over 120... that's ridiculous.

[Yawkey Way]

Pitching dominates the post season which is why I think the angels have a shot to pull this out, but the yanks most likely will win.

i think the key to this series will be burnett. and im hoping they keep joba in the bullpen because then no then can match the yankees' pen late in games

[Yawkey Way]

imagine a Sabathia/Hughes/Joba/Mo set up.



yikes.

I know they've been talking about Gaudin in game 4.

If they're up 2-1 or 3-0, it's likely to happen.

EDIT: And now there's a story on ESPN about them leaning towards a three man rotation. Hmm.

pullin for the angels but i see the yanks in 6

KiIlgod's an angry Blue Jay/Patriots fan....this is the same guy who was bragging to me back in May when Toronto was in first place lol....remember that Kg? Yankees suck huh? lol

This will be a tough series for the Yankees...Angels have sent us home twice before in the playoffs, their style of play usually is tough on us

But this year I'm thinking things will be different....our lineup is more balanced than we've had in the playoffs in somewhile......and our rotation stacks up against anyone's.....I feel good about this series, Yanks in 6

[kyhadley]

I see the Angels in an easy sweep.

[Pills]

I see the Angels in an easy sweep.

... and what do you see when you take off the "I hate the Yankees" glasses?

I'm sure you saw an easy sweep last round, too.

Yeah that wasn't serious. I'm still bitter.

[DJ Fog]

Going with Yankees in 5.

A 3 man rotation could work with the stacked bullpen right now IMO.

If Burnett starts to tank (which I doubt), the series could stretch to 7 going either way.
