YANKEES VS. REDSOX

I THINK G.M. CASHMAN PULLED OFF THE STEAL OF THE YEAR PRACTICALLY GIVING UP NOTHING FOR BOTH BOBBY ABREU AND COREY LIDLE
ABREU A CONSEMATE PRO SHOULD MAKE JONNY DAMON EVEN A BETTER PLAYER AS THEY BOTH TAKE LONG PITCH COUNTS AND MAKE THE OPPOSING PITCHERS WORK

ALSO ABREU ADDS A ELEMENT TO THAT LINEUP THAT IT WAS SORELY LACKING THE HIT AND RUN AS HE AND DAMON PLAY CAT CHASES MOUSE AROUND THE BASES AND SMALL BALL IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE BIG SLUGGERS THAT FOLLOW

AUGUST 16 THE YANKEES INVADE BEANTOWN

I DONT KNOW BUT IT SEEM'S TO ME THAT THE YANKS BEEN TANKING GAMES LATELY IN CHITOWN AND AGAINST ANAHEIM IN LOOKING PAST THEM AND TO THE UPCOMMINGTOUGH 5 - GAME SERIES VERSES THeHATED BITTER RIVAL RED SOX

THEY COULD VERY WELL BE UP BY 5 OR 6 GAMES INSTEAD OF JUST TWO we will look at the two teams match up by match up......

there BULL PEN SEEMS INTACT AND BETTER THEN EVER OCTAVIO DOTEL'S STUFF IS ELECTRIC AS HE BATTLES BACK

AND PROCTOR AND FAWNSWORTH HAVE BEEN STEADY AS EVER AND MO IS MO

THEVE GOTTEN SOME CONSISTENCY IN THE STARTERS NOW THAT THEVE PICKED UP COREY LIDLE AND HAVE PONSON IN A PINCH , AND JARED WRIGHT'S BEEN PITCHING ALOT BETTER

LETS LOOK AT THE MATCHUPS

LINE-UP

STARTING PITCHERS

I DONT EXACTLY AT THIS POINT WHAT ALL THE PITCHING MATCH UPS GOING TO BE SO I'LL GIVE TOP 4 STARTERS VERSES TOP 4 AS THIS SEASON WILL BE A LONG HAUL ANYWAY

MUSSINA VS. SHILLING

ADVANTAGE MUSSINA COMMANDING 4 OR 5 PITCHES MATURTED AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPEEDS TO CHOOSE FROM

CHING MING WAH VS JOSH BECKETT

NO CONTEST HERE THE YOUNGER MING WAH IS A MASTER AT THE SLIDER AND SINKER MATURE WAY PAST HIS AGE OF 24 AND ALOT MORE CONSISTANT

RANDY JOHNSON VS. TIM WAKEFIELD

NO CONTEST HERE THE TALL GRUNGY GANGLE SUPERPOWERHOUSE KO MASTER HANDS DOWN

JARED WRIGHT VS. JOHN LESTER

JARED WRIGHT BY ALOT IF ONLY HE WAS 100% HEALTHY IMAGINE THAT???

THE BULL PEN

SET UP MAN

RON VILLONE VS. MIKE TIMLIN

VILLONE IN MY OPINION BEEN THE SAVIOR THIS YEAR OF THE BULL PEN NO CONTET HERE

SCOTT PROCTOR VS. JULIAN TAVAREZ

ALTHOUGH PROCTOR'S BEEN OVERUSED AND A HORSE OUT OF THE BULLPEN and in the dog days of LATE JUN EARLY JULY SUFFERED A BIT I GIVE THE NOD TO PROCTOR

KYLE FAWNSWORTH VS. KEITH FOLKE

EVEN THOUGH I WAS SCREAMING FOR FAWNSWORTHS HEAD HES BEEN GOOD LATELY , I THINK FAWNSWORTH THE HARDEST THROWERE ON THE YANKEES NEEDS A FEW OTHER PITCHES HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO MISSING DOWN AND OUT IN THE SAME SPOT TO RIGHTIES

FOLKE HAS MORE PITCHES THIS IS PRETTY CLOSE BUT I HAVE TO GIVE THE SLIGHT EDGE TO FAWNSWORTH AS HES BEEN MORE EFFECRIVE THIS YEAR

BATTERS

ALOT OF GUYS IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS DO DIFFERENT THINGS SO ILL COMPARE LINE UP SPOTS

DAMON VS. CRISP

NO CONTEST HERE JONNY SEEMS TO RAISE HIS GAME VERSES BOSTON IN FENWAYS AND AMASED PRETTY GOOD POWER AND ON BASE PCT . NUMBERS

JETER VS. LORETTA

4 W.S. RINGS MVP THIS ONES A JOKE ONES A CERTIFIED WINNER THE OTHER A CONTENDER

AROD VS. BIG PAPI

AROD CAME ACROSS ALOT OF CRITISM LATELY , BUT BIG PAPI ISNT A 5 TOOL PLAYER HES CLUTCH WE KNOW THAT, BUT AROD IS THE MORE COMPLETE PLAYER CAN HURT YOU IN WAYS THAT ARENT ALWAYS SHOW UP ON SCOREBOARDSLIGHT ADVANTAGE VERY SLIGHT AROD

JASON GIAMBI VS. MANNY RAMIREZ

RAMIREZ IS CLUTCH BUT SO IS GIAMBI THIS ONE ILL SCORE EVEN

JORGE POSADA VS. JASON VARITEK

CATCHCHER VS CATCHERNO ONE!1 BEEN MORE CLUTH THEN POSADA THIS YEAR FOR THE YANKEES THROWING OUT BASERUNNERS COMMANDING THE PITCHERS ADVANTAGE YANKEES

BOBBY ABREU VS. KEVIN YOUKILIS

THE MERE PRESCENCE OF ABREU MAKES DAMON A BETTER PLAYER AS THEY PLAY CAT CHASE MOUSE AROUND THE BASES AND INCORPERATE A HIT AND RUN STYLE IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE BIG SLUGGERS THAT FOLLO A ABREU IS A CONSEMATE PR BIG EDGE YANKEES

ROBINSON CANO VS, MIKE LOWELL

CANO IS BATTING 7 TO 9TH AND HITTING .345 ANY MORE NEED BE SAID???

ADVANTAGE YANKEES

AND THATS NOT TO MENTION THE INJURED PLAYERS SUCH AS MATSUI, SHEFFEILD AND THOSE WHO FILLED IN NICELY AND BENCH STRENGHT BERNIE WILLIAMS AND CABERERA

TO ME ITS NO CONTEST THE YANKEES ARE THE CLASS OF THE EAST STILL AND SHOULD REPRESENT THE AMERICAN LEAGUE AND HOPEFULLY WIN IT FOR US A 27TH TIME

ALOT CAN HAPPEN

BUT DONT MISS A SECOND AND GO TO THE BALLPARK AND SUPPORT YOUR TEAM I KNOW I WILL

ENJOY ;-)
