Don't worry, Red Suxs Nation. We'll take care of what you couldn't.

Yankees in 6.
Based on what? A-Fraud not going his usual October route? 500 home runs? Cause the Bankees can't play small-ball for shit. Your questionable middle relief? Sabathia?
Whether you want to admit it or not, this is about as close a matchup in an LCS as we've seen in a while. But the difference, dear reader, is HEART. Yanks have talent, but no heart.
Angels in 7.

Angels in 7.
Yankees Team ERA: 4.26
Angels Team ERA: 4.45
Yankees Total Runs: 915
Angels Total Runs: 883
The AL West? Total joke this year. Oakland and Seattle were horrible and Texas spent the whole year hot lapping guys on and off the IR list.

I choose to disregard your Sox comment. But I agree - Angels in 7. I know it sounds corny, but they have an "angel in their outfield" now, and I'd actually love to see them take it (you know the old saying, I support the RS and anyone who beats the Yankees).
I'm hoping for a freeway championship game - Dodgers/Angels.

And of course, the AL East was the cream of the crop with Toronto, Tampa, and Baltimore.

Fine--disregard it all you want. Truth is a painful pill to swallow sometimes.
Bay--GONE.
Tek--GONE, but he should have been two years ago.
Ortiz, Lowell, Papelbon--GOING, and damn near GONE. Your team is another year older, not another year better, and it caught up with you.
The same can be said of many of the Yankees. Fat contracts for old guys, when you get right down to it. I don't care how many home runs you hit during the regular season, THIS IS OCTOBER. 35-year old guys are wearing down, and the Yanks have plenty of them: Matsui, Damon, Jeter, Pettite, and Posada, just to name a few. There are plenty more on the cusp, like A-Fraud, Molina, and Burnett are right there as well.
Ask yourself this, Bankee fans--will Anaheim (yes, they are the ANAHEIM Angels, despite what Arte Moreno wants to call them) give up the leads that the Twinkies just threw away in their games? You want to bet your season on that? Can you manufacture runs like the Angels can, or are you going to hope that A-Fraud's "streak" continues and that he doesn't revert back to "Bitch-Tits" mode yet again?
Bottom line, I hear a lot of, "maybes", "ifs", and "buts" coming from Yankee fans. Not exactly inspiring of confidence, is it?
BTW--food for thought--who knocked you out in 2002 and 2005 again?

(http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-gen042.gif)Sorry, I didn't hear that first part,,, but again I agree, the Halos in 7. When you swing at anything in baseball as in life, you are bound to make contact eventually. :hyper:

Whoever wins, I want the Dodgers to beat them--and the Phillthies to get buried by the ALCS winner.

Ayup...
