go yankees
First round exit, here they come...
first we don't make the playoffs.
now you concede to us making the playoffs and losing the first round...
so once we win the first round...
i guess... " 2nd round exit, here they come..." ??
Hold on a second pal...Just because they are in first place now, doesn't mean they will be at the end. I don't think they're built for the playoffs. I'm even concerned about the Mets. Both teams rotations have issues. Pitching is what wins.
pitch pitch pitch...
we're fine.
our bullpen is stocked. We just need guys to hang in there for 5-6 innings and we have that.
now just series wise... who do we have to worry about in the AL playoffs...
detroit? we're currently 3-1
CWS? currently 4-1
Oakland ... 3-6... so that might be scary.
minnesota ... 1-2 .
thats just our series records ... it is the past.. and we have improved our team. A lot.
wright has been pitching great last 2 games. johnson had a good 6inn no hitter going. mussina a+ . wang a+ .
lidle did great last game..
we'll be alright
It's a totally different stage in October.
It's an unproven staff other than Rivera. Mussina is always hit or miss in the playoffs. He'll pitch a solid game then suck. Wang? What has he done on the big stage? Question mark. Wright? He's crap. Lidle? Crap. Johnson? Over-the-hill.
Their offense is also mostly power hitters. No such thing as small ball in Yankee stadium. The Mets have all the tools in their lineup. And they have a proven starter in Pedro. But from there who knows. The bullpen is solid, but with Wagner never having 1-2-3 innings, I don't see definitive playoff success for the Mets either.
hey, RJ is coming around now
Cmon, he's 42. He's not durable anymore.
