Angels vs. Yankees Game 3: Pregame

Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees @ NY 1:13pm TV: FOX
As I said before. If Weaver can give us a win today it’s a new series. With Kazmir and Lackey going in the next two games, we can win this thing. Maybe this is how it’s supposed to happen. Nothing [...]

I Know It Hurts, But It’s Far From Over

Angels vs. Rangers

 

Even Joe Girardi admitted that tonight’s game could have swung either way. Both teams had their opportunities, and the Yankees had the last at bat. It sucked, but it’s not over.

Game 1: In Game Recap

Before the game
Low to mid 40’s at Yankee stadium. Wow, it was 90 here today. The boys are all bundled up. Makes you wonder if this is going to have any kind of impact at all.

The Key to the Series

Angels vs. Rangers

 

Some playoff match-ups have very clear story lines. Take for example the Angel-Boston just completed series. It was clearly about redemption for the Halos.

Yankees Bullpen Follow-up

I feel the need to explain my Yankees bullpen analysis due to the concern of a number of you. I appreciate you supporting our site, so I’d like to respond.
