MLB playoffs!
BaldRunnerFL:
I agree Tom. Damn Yankees.
My dark horse pick is the Cincinnati Reds. Everybody's ignoring them and I think that's the way they like it.

Buck Showalter should be manager of the year. To watch what he did everyday with this team was remarkable. If the Orioles can sign a front line pitcher this Winter they will be good for a long time.
Major Props to the "A's". Almost as good a story as the Orioles. I'd love to see the Orioles and A's in the League Championship Series.
Yankees are old and their pitching is suspect. Not their year.

Far from OLD...I mean they have veterans. But swisher, Cano, Tex, Martin, Nova, CC, Hughes, Soriano, Robertson, Joba, Grandy, Gardner, etc etc etc etc etc would agree they're not an OLD team. Sure they have Jeter, A-Rod, Pettite, etc but the team itself isn't OLD.
Pitching should be solid.
CC, Kuroda, Pettite, Hughes, Nova. Wouldn't take them so lightly, they've got the pitching AND the bats to do some major damage. But time will tell, and there's always teams that play bigger/better than they actually are such as the Orioles and A's.
Orioles have already won their "world series" just by getting INTO the playoffs (well, kinda). If it wasn't for the new Wildcard system, they'd be sitting at home, just remember that. Will be interesting to see if they can make it past Texas in this 1 game series (which I'm stoked about watching, def rooting for the Orioles).
Sorry, as a Yanks fan we were so used to stomping on the O's it's hard not to pick at them! haha.

Suzuki - 39
A-Rod - 37
Chavez - 35
Jeter - 36
You're right... what was I thinking.... they're not old. Silly me.
9- 9 against the O's this year. You are right that if the new wild card wasn't there the O's would be watching. But the extra wild card is there..... just like buying all the other teams good players is for the Yankees. Cheers!

GO GIANTS!!
Mike_412:
I've been reading about how old the Yanks are all year, but it couldn't be further from the truth. Do they have some older players? Sure. To call the team old in general is a false statement imo.
I always love the buying other teams players comment too. That's been going around for years. Also couldn't be further from the truth as it relates to the current team. But hey, if it sounds good!!!
