ALCS Game 3 in Steinbrenner's House

[Roger Batts]

What did everyone think of the rout that the Rangers gave the Yankees last night? Before the eight inning was over, the stands were pretty empty, and then the ninth inning blowout by the Rangers chased the rest of them out! If the top of the ninth hadn't taken so long, Cliff Lee would have gone out there and closed it out himself!



I'm gonna go out on a limb and make a prediction! Rangers in 5 in the house that George built.

I think the most interesting Stat for Lee is that in 107 years of postseason baseball, only 7times now has a pitcher pitched 7+ innings, w/ no walks and 10+ strikeouts. Cliff Lee has 4 of those. He would've had 5 if he didn't have that walk the other night at the Yankees. Oh how I wish the Twinkies would've gotten him. I'm 99% sure though he'll be a Yankee next year. I guess there's a 1% chance of him being a Red Sock next year. :banghead:

This afternoon, CJ Wilson and CC Sabathia face off. This should close it out! :supercool:

Rangers team salary is about 1/4 of the Yankees. It would be so great if the Rangers prevail.

Go Texas!

I was really hoping that the Rangers would take it in New York, just to tick off the Yankees, but I'll take a Game 6 finish at home just as well!
