Five0pd310 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Nothing to do with the players...just the history. It does, as they say, tend to repeat itself. Not to mention the huge amount of playoff experience them yanks have over the good guys. I didn't know that history and experience could step on the field and pitch no-hitters. The game is played one pitch at a time and the hitters have absolutely no idea when the pitch is coming whether or not Babe Ruth could hit that pitch.

chase.colston Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Better? The two teams split the season series at 8 games apiece. Not sure what you were watching, but the Yankees and Rangers didn't play 16 times this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five0pd310 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Right...that's what I said...Yankees won eight, and the Rangers won eight. Actually the Rangers won four and the Yanks won four...but I think we get the gist of your post anyway..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratface Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 My mistake, indeed. The two teams split the season series at four games apiece. So, how anyone can claim the Evil Empire is better than the Good Guys is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase.colston Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It is my personal opinion the Yankees are the better team. It is also my personal opinion that the Yankees are in a better position to win this series, giving the pitching order and the Yankees' overall experience in the postseason. How's that?

Five0pd310 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 CJ and Lee both pitch twice. The Yanks have one pitcher that could even just compete with either of them. He can't pitch all four games. I like the Rangers chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underarmor8 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'll agree with you on the numbers Slinky. I just rewound his at bats a few times during the last game in Tampa and he kept grimacing and grabing up by his ribs after a swing. Hopefully the grimace on his face was chewing tobacco and the grabing of the ribs was that uncomfortable girdle they are making him wear to support the ribs.

Ranger wins - 1 at home, 2 away, 1 at home. These aren't your previous Rangers who couldn't get by the Pin Striped Bombers. :yelp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoelessjoelives Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 This series needs to start as soon as possible because the "this stat shows" and "that stat shows" that comparisons are simply adding to the overhyped analysis of this series. Like I have said before this series is going to come down to key hits and pitching by the names that you don't look to for the bigtime starmaking gamebreakers..................................Larry Sherry, Al Weis, Gene Tenace, Dick Green, Billy Hatcher, Joe Page and Bill Mazeroski-types will surface and from this day forward live in lore of what is the greatest game on the planet.....BASEBALL, Ray, baseball !!!

Five0pd310 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 That could be the most insane thing I've ever heard. Well then you don't hear much. CJ + Lee > CC + Hughes The only thing you should be happy about is that Hughes is going against Lewis. (if you can state your opinion as fact, so can I) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellon Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I can hear it now SJL: Bottom of the ninth. Yankees up by one with the greatest closer of all time on the mound. Rangers have 2 outs with a man on 1st. Jeff Francouer is coming to the plate to pinch hit to try and bring the 1st American League Championship to a hungry Texas franchise. Rivera looks at 1st and delivers his famous cutter to the plate. Francouer swings, and it's a long fly ball to right field! Swisher goes back to the track and looks up. The ball falls 10 rows deep in the right field seats and the Rangers and the Fans go crazy!! Francouer rounds 3rd and is going to be mobbed at the plate.................................

shoelessjoelives Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Let me turn my head a little because I thought I heard something like "there is a line drive up the middle and Kinsler is going to score and here comes Hamilton sliding in......BALL GAME .........Rangers win 6-5 !!"

TheChosenOne Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 but look who was on the hill for the yankees in the four games we beat them a.j. twice (who is terrible) volquez and moseley we wont be seeing either one of those guys and as far as a.j. goes we might not see him either if c.c. decides to go on three days rest i think as ranger fans we are getting the wagon before the horse...and cliff only goes twice if we go to a game seven which really kills us...the crucial game is game one if we get to c.c. i think they are in big big trouble and cliff has to pitch against andy in yankee stadium by no means is that a small task....just hope the rangers stay level headed and play smart baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You would take Price over Sabathia? Cant say I agree with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five0pd310 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You would take Price over Sabathia? Cant say I agree with that CC has to try to catch his breath between pitches. If this were a pie eating contest, I'd take CC or Joba "the Hut" Chamberlain. Since this is a sport full of athletes, I'll take the athletic one with the better numbers on the team that beat the Yankees out for the Eastern championship.

It is my personal opinion that the Rangers are the better team. It is also my personal opinion that the Rangers are in a better position to win this series, given the overall starting pitching (and bullpen) and the Rangers' overall higher character. How's that?

cheaptrick77 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 It never ends up like you had initially dreamed or want it to anyway.
