Yankees vs. Rangers

[fishersofmen]

Well the Yanks did it to Texas last night. Texas has a big lead early in this game as well, maybe they can hang on. As disciplined and confident as the Yankees are right now I still think they will win the whole thing once again.

[harvey lee]

If the Rangers would not have blown the first game lead, they would be up 2-0. It will be tough in NY but Texas is playing them very well.

Game 3 should be good with Lee vs Pettite.

[JBMasterAngler]

Game 3 is a fore sure with Lee pitching. Rangers offense is proving to be too much for the yanks. Rangers in 6.

[mrklean]

nothing is for sure against the yanks but i really hope they get beat

[paceman]

I actually like the yankees better than the rangers so Go Yankees!

[bobbymalone]

no one outside of new yorkers or displaced new yorkers has any reason why they should like the yankees.

Why everyone hates the Yanks is beyond me. It makes the Twins look better. AP will show C.Lee a thing or two about Yankee postseason Baseball. Also-- the Yankee lineup is the best at adjusting to the starting pitcher gameplan that I have ever seen. As we know well, get to the hammer of GOD #42,, = GAME OVER

GO YANKS!!!!

[fishersofmen]

I am thoroughly enjoying watching the Yanks get slapped around.

[hcmpls1]

And we could have, should have, had Cliff Lee...

[Greg Clusiau]

Yes, what a wonderful butt kicking the Yankees got. Yay!

[Mr.Seaguar]

Rangers should be up 3-0. When Washinton sent the starter back out in the 8th in Game 1 I was yelling at the TV, Grady Little, invoke the Grady Little rule! No starter past the 7th in the postseason! Rangers vs Giants would be the best WS ever. 2 teams no one gave a chance.

[harvey lee]

Looks like the Ynak home field advantage just came through. Cano's HR may have been caught but 2 yanks fans had there hand over the wall and hit the Texad outfielders glove and hit it down.

Washington complained but the ref didn't bother to even review the play.

Thats how you win a game with the help of the refs.

Boy is that a b-s call.

[zepman]

Wow...I never knew the Yankees could get beat up like this. I guess this is what CAN happen when the other teams star players actually come to play!!

[mrklean]

im loving every bit of this rangers and giants would be a great WS

[MinnesnowtaWild]

I'm all about that series match up too. It would be light years beyond what a Phillies and Yankees series would be.

[Mr.Seaguar]

Anyone catch Joe Morgan on Scott Van Pelt yesterday? He was saying that he didnt think the Yankees were in trouble at 2-1. How can they keep drinking the Koolaid? At that point the Yanks were on bad managerial decision away from being down 3-0. They had nothing against the Rangers. Did anyone think the Rangers would be in this series, let alone dominating? Morgan said, if the Yankees lose tonight then they are in trouble. Yeah, no kidding Sherlock.

[mrklean]

would have been nice if they got swept, one pitching switch and its 4-0 for the rangers

[greebs]

I haven't watched much baseball this year when the twins weren't playing but watching this rangers team go into yankee stadium and put it to them just seems so weird. I'm used to the manager and the team wetting their pants the minute there is any mention of the yanks and just figured our guys weren't the only ones who faced so much intimidation by the yanks. what's the deal with them rangers and who do they think they are?

[harvey lee]

One has to love the results so far. If it does go to game 7, ol Cliff Lee will be back in and he will be hard to beat.

The Rangers are beatin the Yanks up pretty bad but they still need one more win.

Go Texas.

[hcmpls1]

The next best thing to a Twins win is a Yankees or White Sox loss. Since the White Sox have been at home for a while, a Yankees loss will have to do today!

[fishersofmen]

After watching this series it really feels like the Twins just laid down. Although it looks like the Yanks are about to win game 5.

[hcmpls1]

After watching this series it really feels like the Twins just laid down.quote]

I feel exactly the same...

[paceman]

The twins laid down as soon as they won the division and figured they would be playing the yankees.

[zamboni]

I am going to have to disagree. They laid down after they blew the lead and lost the first game. I think they had a chance if they had won that first game.

[zepman]

The Twins and the Indianapolis Colts have both won lot's of divisional championships in the last decade with very little to show for it.

Funny...both teams like to "rest" their players down the stretch.

Twins are punchless and have no grit and until they find some of that they will continue to get bounced every year when it counts.

[PierBridge]

When have we ever rested our players down the stretch other then this year when it was absolutely necessary due to injury and fatigue?

Any-who I think we are over thinking things a bit here. I don't buy into all media/fan hype, excuses, like we need some yo-yo player in the clubhouse yelling and screaming or a different managerial style.

I think it's baseball and we just took the gas at the wrong time and couldn't turn the switch back on for the play-offs!

I'll watch every second of the World Series if it's the Rangers versus the Giants.. Sure would be nice to get rid of the #1 and #4 spending teams in the league!

That's why they play the game folks anything can and will happen in baseball!

[soldoncass]

Yank's got ,from Texas, what I was hoping the Twins would give them.....FUN TO WATCH Yanks got STOMPED and after about 3 games the Yank swagger left town.......FUN.

[Mr.Seaguar]

Rangers vs Giants...Yes! That called third strike on both ARod and Ryan Howard was awesome.

[mrklean]

rangers vs giants who would have called that at the start of the season

[fishersofmen]

No one. I like it though! Maybe the Rangers management can give us some pointers in the offseason.
