The Yankees Are Dumb

[Christian Snyder]

Eh, the Angels were a pretty good squad

I just don't think the Angels are better than the Dodgers...... JMO, though.

I only said "slightly" meaning not much of a difference that holds much significance. Comparing their numbers and a few other factors I just have to swing my vote CC's way if I had to choose one or othe other.

 

C.C. Sabathia: W-136 L-81 Winning %.627 ERA-3.62 CG-13 SHO-11 SO- 1590

 

Cliff Lee: W-90 L-52 Winning%.634 ERA-3.97 CG-13 SHO-4 SO-900

 

CC is also a horse, he's no stranger to pitching complete games, he's also productive at the plate.

 

"In interleague play as a player in the American League, Sabathia had a career batting average of .300 with three home runs and seven RBIs in 40 ABs, including a 440-foot home run on June 21, 2008, off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park. On July 13, 2008, in his second game with the Brewers, Sabathia hit his second home run of the season off Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey, becoming the third pitcher in history to homer in both leagues in the same season and the first since Earl Wilson did it in 1970 with Detroit and San Diego."

Well the Angel's were 97-65 and the Dodgers were 95-67

 

More or less equal win/loss ratio but you can't deny AL is a tougher league then the NL.

You'd need to use the last two years as a benchmark for one, for two, the fact that Fat Sabby has a couple of hits in the NL is irrelevant.

It isnt completely irrelevant. That means that when those two square off in game 4, we actually wont have a total mess hitting in the #9 spot. Every little bit counts when you are talking about two lefty aces

Grasping at straws.

 

Unless the Yanks hammer Lee, how many AB's is Sabathis gonna have, 2?

 

And besides, ya really think he's gonna square up a pitch against a pitcher of Lee's caliber when he's barely held a bat in his hands all year and in this weather anyway?
