I got the Yankees in 6.

Yankees breeze by the Twins again, Rangers avoid the choke to squeeze past the Rays. Yankees gotta be the favorite despite being on the road. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2c/2010_ALCS.svg/218px-2010_ALCS.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/25/NewYorkYankees_PrimaryLogo.svg/300px-NewYorkYankees_PrimaryLogo.svg.png v. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/41/Texas_Rangers.svg/250px-Texas_Rangers.svg.png New York Yankees (95-67) at Texas Rangers (90-72) Game Matchup Day Date Time ET TV Gm 1 NYY @ TEX Fri Oct. 15 8:00 p.m. TBS Gm 2 NYY @ TEX Sat Oct. 16 4:00 p.m. TBS Gm 3 TEX @ NYY Mon Oct. 18 8:00 p.m. TBS Gm 4 TEX @ NYY Tue Oct. 19 8:00 p.m. TBS Gm 5* TEX @ NYY Wed Oct. 20 4:00 p.m. TBS Gm 6* NYY @ TEX Fri Oct. 22 8:00 p.m. TBS Gm 7* NYY @ TEX Sat Oct. 23 8:00 p.m. TBS Pitching Matchups: CC Sabathia (21-7, 3.18 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) v.

Both teams have terrific starting pitching, and each matchup appears to be a treat. The Phillies are definitely the favorite, but this series should be a good one. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/2010_NLCS.svg/217px-2010_NLCS.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/58/San_Francisco_Giants_Logo.svg/216px-San_Francisco_Giants_Logo.svg.png v. http://ticketsforless.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/phillies-logo-150x150.jpg San Francisco Giants (92-70) at Philadelphia Phillies (97-65) Game Matchup Day Date Time ET TV Gm 1 SF @ PHI Sat Oct. 16 TBD FOX Gm 2 SF @ PHI Sun Oct. 17 TBD FOX Gm 3 PHI @ SF Tue Oct. 19 TBD FOX Gm 4 PHI @ SF Wed Oct. 20 TBD FOX Gm 5* PHI @ SF Thu Oct. 21 TBD FOX Gm 6* SF @ PHI Sat Oct. 23 TBD FOX Gm 7* SF @ PHI Sun Oct. 24 TBD FOX Pitching Matchups: Tim Lincecum (16-10, 3.43 ERA, 1.27 WHIP) v.

Rays up 5-0 in the 5th. Looks like this series is going back to Tampa. Didn't expect that.

I have a 3-4 defense.

Good game. Glad at least one series is 1-1.

Lincecum is absolutely dealing right now.

It could still happen!

Yankees-Rangers in the ALCS does not bode well for Texas, methinks.

Yankees about to break this one open.

Is Pettitte's smaller. I will admit I haven't been paying 100% attention.

Rays are basically done.

2-0 Rangers in the 4th. Rays are not looking great.

Same.

Well I meant everyone who has joined in the past few days but I guess you can have it too.

Timely, right after one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in a baseball game.

I vote all the British posters for some kind of award.

Thats what I was thinking. If you include the 1990s, gotta say Maddux, Pedro, Clemens and Randy are at least up there.

Halladay doesn't have the playoff experience to excel.
