Not one pick for the Yankees. Duh..(chuckles)Bias aside, and after a great pitching performance by Lee in the first game, I'll say the Phils in 7. The important keys are Hamels and the bullpen. Ultimately, pitching wins championships and we need Hamels to have a good one and the bullpen to shutdown the late innings heroics by a team that have had so many of them this season.

Utley vs Tex, tough call, Posads vs Wreth push, Matsui vs Ibenez push. A-Rod vs Howard push Jeter over JRoll, Vic over Damon, Cano over Fransico Peter Happy over Swisher, Ruiz over Carera. But I am really just showing my bias a little. But even if you give the Yankees Tex over Utley, it is 3 3 3.

I was just saying that a) the Yankees will use him in every game that isn't a blowout, lead or not, and b) that he cannot be compared to Jon Broxton in postseason performance. There's nothing laughable about a 99mph fastball, but what is laughable is comparing the Dodgers' relatively inexperienced 25 year old closer with Mariano, who, once again, is by the numbers the greatest postseason pitcher of all time.There's no need to "refute" your example of the 2001 WS, since I agree with you that he's, of course, beatable. But while we're at it, just want to point out that that game was only one of 3 times in 84 postseason appearances where Rivera blew a save by allowing runners he put on base to score. That's dominance, but yes, it certainly doesn't make him unbeatable. John from VA,

I'd be really surprised if more than one game was decided by more then 3 runs. One thing I will say is diehard Yankees fans are very smart baseball fans for the most part. They are one of the few other teams fans that can actually hold their own in a baseball discussion, argument, etc. I'm looking forward to a weeks worth of good talk/leadup to every game.

Myers is the surprise leadoff hitter and draws a walk and is replaced as a pinch runner by Rollins. Sabathia sweats profusely all over the field and the game is delayed die to sweat.

Sabathia develops an eating disorder and cannot throw the ball hard enough to break his gravitational pull.

Victorino hits the ball so hard that it hits the New York Post writer square in the nuts deep in the left field seats.

Joba is shown in the bullpen wearing big boy underwear and is allowed to stay up late but only if he is a good boy.
