Baseball Playoffs, 2009

The Evil Yankees may have taken game 1, but I like how the Angel's pitching matches up for the rest of the rotation. It'll go to 6 games (we will lose to CC one more time), but we'll take the series.

Go Halos.

i've been an angels fan since early california.
we're heading off into the 13th inning.
13 is my lucky number...lets go angels.

smoothmoniker · 10-18-2009, 01:36 AM

Oh. what a heartbreak.

W.HI.P · 10-18-2009, 01:57 AM

its not over yet, the angels should win at home.
i'm actually in a dilema as i placed money on the yankees winning the american league and the world series at the start of the season, and yet the angels winning it all is more important to me.
we'll see.
i would like to see the dodgers on the other side rather than the phillies.

Not so much heartbreak here, more like ecstasy. I had stuff to do most of the night and got home thinking I wouldn't see much ball...

You could tell it was going to end ugly. All the pitchers were getting it done, but the fielders were tired, cold, and wet. Assumed crazy start times aside, Aneheim is a better place to play ball this time of year.

smoothmoniker · 10-18-2009, 04:28 PM

Yeah, but even if we sweep at home, we have to go back and take one more away in NY.

Clodfobble · 10-18-2009, 05:19 PM

I like the rest of the Yankees okay, but Derek Jeter can kiss my ass.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-18-2009, 07:32 PM

If I was him, I would.

Griff · 10-19-2009, 07:57 PM

Girardi got out-managed. Yah gotta feel good for the Cali players, if not the hockey toy fans, for ducking the sweep.

W.HI.P · 10-20-2009, 03:13 AM

its best out of 7, so no one was in for a sweep.
the longer this series goes on, the stronger the angels will get as their batting depth is much greater than the yankees.
the angels have more bats than the yankees do.
just you wait till rivera, morales and guerero start going yard.
this is the world series

Griff · 10-20-2009, 05:31 AM

The Yanks don't have hitters on the bench but given a choice I take a deeper bull pen over more bats. Aceves is much better than last night showed, it almost makes me think he didn't warm properly expecting the guy with the highest strikeout ratio in mlb to stay in the game.

smoothmoniker · 10-20-2009, 10:26 AM

Harder to hit home runs in Angel stadium than in the little-league field the Yanks play to. Easier to bunt and run because of how the field crew manages the edges and the dirt. That will play to our game over the next two, and I expect to win them.

Then, we have to go back to NY and take at least one away there. That's going to be tough.

Good news is, last night's game was the first time all series that the Angels have looked like themselves.

Griff · 10-21-2009, 07:10 PM

The umpires either need to get their feces consolidated or they're going to have to ban the replay.

lumberjim · 10-21-2009, 09:16 PM

phillies are winning 6-3 in the 5th. on to the world series for the 2nd year in a row if they win tonght.

classicman · 10-21-2009, 10:26 PM
