My guess is they push through and try to play this thing, but I don't think it will be pretty. Weather ain't looking good for the entire weekend.

Hoping we see lots of Kate Hudson joy.

No Nick Adenhart jokes from Yankee fans here, please.

This should be a good series, nice chance for NY to exorcise some of their recent demons. NY's weakness is rotation depth, but they have the edge in the bullpen and home field advantage. I think this is the best Yankee team since the 1998 version, hopefully it'll be enough.

One situation that will be interesting to watch is Damon, who for those who haven't been paying attention, has looked like a corpse recently (no HRs since 9/1, 4 Ks in 4 ABs in the last game). It just occurred to me, but I wonder if Girardi would consider Matsui in LF (for the first time this season), Posada at DH, and Molina at C during Burnett's start in game 2 if Damon looks awful again in game 1?

unless Fox has clipped its announcers' Adenhart-Stroking wings after TBS paid its tribute... you'll be sick enough of it to crack jokes before the 8th inning tonight.

I don't think so, bad karma, and I'm as misanthropic as they come. It is amazing that the national announcing crews actually make me miss Michael Kay (!!!), at least he follows the team all year.

[jon abbey]

NY with their expected lineup:

YANKEES
Jeter SS
Damon LF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Posada C
Cano 2B
Swisher RF
Cabrera CF

No matter who they trot out there, this is not possible.

[jon abbey]

Mathis over Napoli for Lackey, also as expected:

ANGELS
Chone Figgins 3B
Bobby Abreu RF
Torii Hunter CF
Vladimir Guerrero DH
Juan Rivera LF
Kendry Morales 1B
Howie Kendrick 2B
Jeff Mathis C
Erick Aybar SS

[Andrew]

Wait, it's possible to get 0-2 on Abreu?

[senzadubbio]

"eight days of rest for a 290-pound man!"

[Andrew]

Take an hour to call the strike. That's going to be annoying all night.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Cue the massive ball washing.

[Andrew]

Fuck off Buck.

And Lackey looks like he wants to implode already.

[Andrew]

Yeah, just so we're all clear, the Angels have no chance.

[strek1]

Fuck off Buck.

And Lackey looks like he wants to implode already.

Where's the Cy Young stuff tonight Lackey? Miserable Douchebag.

[Bada Bing]

Lackey is a real "ace" with his 89-91 mph fastball. Getting shut down by John Lackey is an embarrassment.

[shawnrbu]

Yeah, just so we're all clear, the Angels have no chance.

Do you see this team dropping 1 game this postseason?

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

I may not be able to stomach much of this series.

[kartvelo]

Looks like the pummeling will be beginning even earlier than I thought.

[Andrew]

Sprowl will probably correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like he doesn't have command of his curve like he did against the Sox. It might be the cold, or it might be that he's a bleep.

[radsoxfan]

Seriously. This is some 89 mph garbage hes throwing up there. I guess he used up all his bullets on the Sox.

[Andrew]

PEDRO!

[TheYellowDart5]

Short of that HR, Teixeira's been invisible in the postseason.

Of course, that's a big "short of..."

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

So clutch.

[shawnrbu]

Luis Castillo!

[Caspir]

Just wow.

[Andrew]

Just.. beh.

[stp130]

Great. Just fucking great.

[EvilEmpire]

Wow. The little things do matter.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Now they turn into clowns?

[Bada Bing]

Thats the guy that embarrassed the Red Sox... Fucking pathetic.

[Stitch01]

This is what happens when a team that's already won their World Series keeps playing.

[Andrew]

Lackey is such a prick, it's funny.


And there's no possible way that can be called a single.

[strek1]

Kill me now. The Angels are going to turn to shit all of a sudden. Incredible

[Max Power]

[Brianish]

This crap would've been nice a week ago, assholes.

[Andrew]

Aybar just kinda stood there.

[Pearl Wilson]

you hafta laugh. f*ck.

[radsoxfan]

That team we were hoping to see choke again against the sox. Here they are, cowering from the moment yet again. Just one series too late.

[cwright]

Jesus fucking Christ. A-Rod with an RBI and that unspeakably bad infield play.....what a start for the Angels.

[jon abbey]

Wow, I did not expect that. It didn't even seem like it was so loud.

[pedroia'sboys]

Aybar just kinda stood there.

aybar dressed as if he were playing in alaska tonight

[Laser Show]

Angels: "WE BEAT THE RED SOX!!!"

"Wait there's games after that?"

[strek1]

Maybe the "Local" ghost of Cory Lidle trumps the "Road" ghost of Nick Adenhart

[jon abbey]

aybar dressed as if he were playing in alaska tonight

Heh, did you see Cano yet?

[strek1]

Angels: "WE BEAT THE RED SOX!!!"

"Wait there's games after that?"

They are looking that way aren't they?

[cheekydave]

He looks like the Flash with that red headdress

[jon abbey]

Are you guys getting audio dropouts periodically on Fox?

[Andrew]

I wish.

[Couperin47]

Nope fine here

[Andrew]

Fuck "Let the Best Team Win".

I want the ANGELS to win.
