This year the Tigers are probably the worst team that will make it in so it doesn't matter. <br /><br />All the playoff teams are dangerous. they were all good enough to make it into the playoffs. That said, the standings are not lying. The Angels are better than the Red Sox. The Angels have a deeper rotation and a much better lineup. The Angels bullpen is not looking so hot, so I expect the Yankees to hurt them there. The Red Sox bullpen isn't exactly the '98 Yankees either though. They are better with Wagner, so that could hurt one inning in a series, maybe two. Papelbon is going all Dice-k in the 9th now and that will hurt them when he coughs it up or can't go as often as the ever efficient Rivera. <br /><br />My Prediction: Yanks>Tigers in 4. Angels>Sawx 4/5 Yankees>Angels in 6. Yankees>Cards in 6. Yankees/Cards is a great series. Great players matching up as well as two franchises with a ton of great history.Jon Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622111996207578594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-48945714070744753612009-09-09T13:39:54.657-07:002009-09-09T13:39:54.657-07:00I think people are afraid of the Sox because of th...I think people are afraid of the Sox because of the blown ALCS. We have not made it past the first round of the play-offs since then. Facing the Red Sox in the post season would be like one of those therapies where you face your worse fears to get over them. Like Indiana Jones getting lowered into that snake pit. He came out ahead and so can we.cheshirecat9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-4391444070521175092009-09-09T13:14:47.788-07:002009-09-09T13:14:47.788-07:00I agree.

Either one we beat would be nice, but its a lot sweeter when its the Sox.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-87865783861948776822009-09-09T11:38:30.491-07:002009-09-09T11:38:30.491-07:00I totally agree with you.

This team can beat the Red Sox and I think a dramatic thrashing of them on national TV is just what the doctor ordered. Bring it on! Go Yanks!!!cheshirecat9noreply@blogger.com
