Yanks swept the Twins in three. CC, AJ and Andy all pitched well, Jeter was Jeter, and A-Rod and Texiera got the biggest hits of all. Got a break on a bad call on the foul ball in Game 2, but the fact is the Yanks were not going to lose this series. They got sent home after the first round in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007, but this year, they really had the better team. And how about Papelbon blowing a three-run lead in Boston and the Sox getting swept? Nice.
Now, on to California, or Anaheim, or Los Angeles, of whatever the Angels are calling themselves this year. We've got a grudge with these guys and a score to settle. And I think we all agree twirling those red monkeys around during the games is just about the dumbest thing ever.
Let's go.

If A-Rod keeps getting big hits, they just might be having a big parade dowm Broadway in a couple of weeks.
Is there anything cooler than seeing Mo bust guys' bats in half in October? He's been doing it forever, but I still love to see him saw the bat in half, right in the batter's hands.
That was a very bad call in Game 2, but the Yanks were something like 10-0 against the Twins this year. The ALDS was the Yankees series from the start. The Angels will be tough. Great players that do a lot of things well. Very well managed. And with the death of a teammate earlier this year, they are inspired. They will run like crazy on Posada and challenge Damon's arm whenever they can. We'll simply need to out-pitch them and/or out-slug them. - Mel
Out pitching them is the key - and that will be tough. The bats on both sides will keep both teams staffs on their toes.
