Angels given no chance by ESPN
hope the Angels use this as motivation because every ESPN prediction has the Yankees winning the series. Also Steve Phillips flopped his pick he picked the halos to go all the way now suddenly changed his picks. They, again east coast biased not even giving the angels a shot.so check it out. Lets hope the Halos stick it to the losers of ESPN http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/matchup/_/teams/angels-yankees

When was the last time ESPN offered any interesting analysis?
I believe it was the on the 12th of never.

Closer to ...
The 25th hour on Feb. 30 of 2347.
I’ve tried to limit my ESPN and even MLB Network salivation over the Yankees.
Nothing like beating up on a left-handed stepchild (the Twins) and acting like that really meant something other than an opportunity to be another stepping-stone on the way to the Angels 2009 championship

Not too worried about it
Olney is a total joke though thinking the series will only go 5. I look at all the “Yankees in 7” picks as them saying that the series will essentially be a tossup and they are going with the Yankees because of homefield/better offense/some other small advantage. It does look pretty ridiculous to see 8/8 for the Yankees though considering how we just manhandled the best team in the history of baseball in 3 games.

But he still believes that it was a "must beat the Red Sox, Finally" kind of thing for the team.
The media certainly played up that angle, and as a fan it was on my mind, but Torii has said it all along: this has nothing to do with them. This is about winning, and they’re not satisfied just because they won three games. I hope Olney is developing a taste for that crow, ‘cause he’s got more coming his way. Maybe once all the East Coast teams are gone, he’ll actually pay attention.

These guys are tools
Seriously guys? No one thinks the Angels have a chance? They have the better playoff rotation: Sabathia is good, but Burnett is wild and Pettitte is too old. The Yankees went with the eight-day division series schedule because they don’t even have a fourth starter. Their middle relief isn’t any more reliable than the Angels’ either, and they play crap defense.
Of course, they have a spectacular offense, but the Angels came in right behind them (despite not playing in a stadium the size of a matchbox) and anyone can go cold for a few games, especially against good pitching. I can understand the Yankees being slightly favored, but eight for eight? These guys are really hacks. They just don’t care enough to cover the other team.
by Suboptimal on Oct 12, 2009 7:01 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Just curious, what are the Halos' combined performances against the NYY starters, lifetime?
I know they’ve seen Sabathia, Burnett, and Pettite a whole bunch over the last four or five years—and Joba, too! I seem to remember they do pretty decently against Sabathia and Pettite but have some difficulty against Burnett—though they did light up Joba a bit back in July.
Anyone?

by Zu Long on Oct 12, 2009 7:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hmmm, wonder if we're going with the exact same rotation as last time, then.
Why not start Big John and Kazmir in Yankee stadium first, then have Weaver pitch at home (where rumor has it he’s better anyway) to give him more of an advantage, and then have Saunders/Santana also pitch in the home environment for perhaps more confidence, before bringing it back to NY if necessary?
Normally I would say why not just start Kazmir in Game 1, but given John’s performance last Thursday and Kazmir’s crapping the bed yesterday, probably better to stick with what works—but, still, I’d go w/ Kaz in Game 2…

I’ve been thinking about this since the Yanks clinched. IMO, it is best to play Weaver in Anaheim, especially afer the way he pitched the last time in NY in September. Kazmir has always pitched well against the Skanks, I think he should start game 2…

I think my favorite part of all the analysis is how previous postseasons are suddenly a non-factor.
In the ALDS, all we heard about was how we can’t beat the Red Sox in the postseason, blah blah blah. Now suddenly the shoe is on the other foot, and no one wants to talk about the last two Angels-Yankees postseason matchups.

If I have some time one of these days (ha!), I’ll see about looking at each analyst’s predictions for each of the postseason series over the past 10 years and look at their so-called win percentage—it will be interesting to see how they did! I’ll be they’re 0-fer in series where the Angels have actually won…! But somehow I think a bunch picked the Angels over the Red Sox LAST year, interestingly enough (as I think I learned through a heated exchange with OTM around this time in 2008!)!

7 out of 8 had picked the Yankees, and 1 had the Angels in 7. I really wish I could remember who it was, but I didn’t think anything of it at the time since I had no idea he would end up being a spineless fuck who changed his prediction to save face with his east coast pals.

I find it odd that they all picked the Yankees when in the spring most of them didn’t even pick them to make the play-offs. Funny how a year changes things.
I find it even more odd that none of them picked the Angels since the network is clearly biased towards the Red Sox and try to stick it to the Yanks at every chance they get.
Perhaps the Yanks are just the better team….

So, the Angels will hit in Anahiem while the Yanks are at home?

Yankee fans, the height of intellectual debate and decorum.

Buck Showalter
just picked the Angels to win the series on Sportscenter. He said that the Angels/Yankees were even in offense and Starting Pitching while he gave us the advantage on defense and the Yankees the advantage in the bullpen.

Ken Rosenthal went back to his Yankee idolizing way picking the Yanks in 6
Also Paul Morosi of Fox sports says the Angels can do it but does not give a prediction
Bring back Lackey

Oh, just wait until the series starts!! As a twins fan I almost died in the pre-game introduction TBS used in our series with the yanks last week, they actually showed shots of Kate Hudson in the Yankees stands rooting for A-rod!! What a piece of crap!!
Here’s hopin the Angels take the Yanks to the dirt !! You guys have the entire midwestern part of the country rooting for you all the way, so when you guys hit a home run or score it won’t be just your town celebrating for you, it will be the entire midwest. Remember that when you go to New York!!!! Good Luck, guys. Get Tori a World Series win, MN still thinks he is a great player.
