So, we get the Indians....I have some fears that this could be the "we got more than we bargained for" kind of thing for both the Yanks and the fans. Since we killed them in the reg season fans have been clamoring around the idea that we want to play them. Not to say we want to play the Angels, for obvious reasons, but I highly doubt we are going to roll over Cleveland with the 1-2 pitching duo they can throw out in a short series.

Should be an exciting series though...and playoffs, especially with the competition level in the AL, although when the WS comes around it will be anyone's guess who will win because favorites seem to do the exact opposite.

I hear you, and I typically never advocate the "we want to play them" strategy. In this case, however, I don't want to lose to the Angels in the first round again. Maybe the Yanks will have better luck in a seven game series (assuming they make it that far), but I'm hoping the Red Sox bea the Angels if the Yankees advance. I really, really do not want the team to play the Angels.

I'm really happy the Mets coked by the way. All season long all I heard about as how great the Mets are and how much the Yankees suck. Maybe the Mets fans were right, but my team is going to playoffs.

Hilarious comment by Willie Guiest (sp?) on MSNBC

"If you're a Mets fan who grew up in NY, something is fundamentally wrong with you. You had a choice between the Mets and the Yankees and you chose the Mets."

(I'm quoting from memory--I might have a few words off.)

they were showing it on both 708 and 730.

Ha...that's strange. Well at least they didn't take away my YESHD channel.

yanks/cle

thu @ cle 630pm
fri @ cle 5pm
sun @ nyy 630pm
mon @ nyy 6pm*
wed @ cle 5pm*

games 4 & 5 are subject to change.

I think most teams have those same question marks. That's what makes it so exciting!

i didn't think they would make the postseason so this is all gravy...

Not only that, but also their future looks bright with Joba, Hughes, and Kennedy. Once I saw how promising those 3 looked, I actually felt fine if the team didn't make the playoffs b/c I thought the future would be bright anyway. So yeah this is definitely gravy.
