Here's a Conundrum
The ALCS will start on Friday, five days from now. The Angels, who today finished off a sweep of the Red Sox, will be well rested. If the Yanks don't clinch today, they will be less rested. But do we want that many days off? Or does that just kill the momentum? I'm not sure if that much rest really gives you an edge in the playoffs. What do you guys think?

5 days off is bull. Why the HELL

Boycott them! The next thing we watch on their damn network is BASEBALL!!
Git it on!

yeah, I suppose this post is a bit of a moot point. What a play by Jeter and Posada to get Punto(?) at third. Just sick.
Extra rest probably can't hurt when key guys like Posada and Rodriguez are coming back from surgery this season and even the healthy old guard are getting up there in years. It also means no need to ride CC like a rented mule. The older guys know how to keep themselves on track. Whether some of the young'uns or less experienced in postseason play lose their momentum might be more of a question.
Extra rest killed the Colorado Rockies in 2007.
