    neither of which are any worse than the Yankees will win because they are a determined bunch this year, as if they haven't won in the past few years because they weren't determined to do so.

    But its been a while since tha yankees fans have felt confident about their team. The last time I was this confident they would win was in 2003. However, those pesky marlins had the best young pitching stars in the game.

    I can tell you that I am hoping for a sox vs yanks ALCS, because im tired about hearing the sox being a better franchise

    If the Yankees play the Angels it will also say the Yankees are better than the Sox.

    Not if the Angels win that series too. Then at most it just says that the Angels are better than the Twins.

    You mean that it says that the Yankees are better than the Twins?

    It's about matchups. If Team A beats Team B which beat Team C, it doesn't necessarily mean that Team A would've taken out Team C in a series.

    I wasn't really clear, but that's kind of what I meant by "at most".

    I don't buy into the whole Yankees can't beat the Angels notion. I also don't buy that the Angels can't beat the Red Sox notion.
    The best teams in the AL are:
    1. Yankees
    2. Red Soxs
    3. Angels
    4. Twins
    So I hope the Angels beat the Sox

    I will be very disappointed if we were to lose this game. I don't care about this "high" so to speak that the Twins are on. The game ended at around 9:45pm last night, they celebrated, and got into NY at around 3am. They should be tired, to say the least.

    We need to, and should, take Game 1 with no trouble. Then again, we are the Yankees, and when it comes to the playoffs, anything we can happen

    Just clarifying because you said at most it would say the Angels are better than the Twins, which doesn't fit in with the conversation.

    Yeah, I just mean that if you want to draw any conclusions other than the Yankees are better than the Twins and the Angels are better than the Sox, that would be the absolute farthest you could stretch it.

    Was my comment really taken that seriously?

    I'll bet the day you buy a new calendar you open it up and tear out October.

    I agree with your list.

    I just want the Sox to lose. Because I always want the Sox to lose. If it were the Red Sox vs. The Taliban, I'd root Mud Hut.
