tk421Yankees vs Phillies WS. Same old same old.

darbypitcher22Yanks have a chance to get off to a wonderful start since Lee isn't scheduled to go to Game 3. You wonder if Texas drops game 1 if they'll bump Lee up a day to avoid falling behind 2-0.

I hope you are right...but I doubt it. I would like their chances better if they had Cliff Lee for game 1. -

Agreed. I definitely hope the Rangers win. Love Cliff Lee and would love to see him beat the Yankees. -
justincredibleThey'll steal one of the first two games and take game 3 (Lee) and 4 (vs Burnett). That will put them up 3-1 and Lee could pitch game 6 (on short rest) or game 7.
-
grodtStealing game one would be huge because then they don't have to worry about starting Lee until Game 3 then they'll probably have a 2-1 lead. If they lose game 1 they have to at least consider throwing Lee on short rest. It's conceivable that this series could last 5 games and Lee only pitches in 1. That shouldn't happen when you have an ace like that.

darbypitcher22seems like a lot of people are discounting how well Pettitte and Hughes both pitched in the first round for New York...

JugheadDon't you have to be on the road to steal a game?

not necessarily. -
Crimson streakWilson is no slouch for Texas, I think he will pitch well and the rangers take game 1

Ironman92Rangers are easily my bandwagon team for however long they last in this postseason.
Love how they play and enjoy the game. Will be rooting hard for them....which is also a deathwish for their chances. -
baseballstud24^^^ This...Love Josh Hamilton and Cliff Lee. I even bought a Rangers t-shirt about midway through the season. Besides Cincy, the Rangers are my next favorite team. I'll admit, I jumped on the Texas bandwagon this year.

wes_mantoothRangers have a good chance in this one....as most Tribe fans know, CC is not very clutch in the playoffs.

NonHamilton strikes first
3-0 Rangers -
wes_mantoothwhat a terrible pitch by CC....hanger on an 0-2 pitch
-
mhs95_06Immediate advantage Rangers! I think the Rangers need to keep Lee on normal schedule, game 3 and 7.
-
NonThis lineup is tough.
Young in the No. 2 spot is a clutch veteran and then you have a lot of thump in the middle with Hamilton, Guerrero, Cruz.
And still some guys like Kinsler, Francoeur and Cantu who are solid hitters.
I think this is going to be a good series. Rangers will go toe to toe. -
NonCC not out of danger yet in the bottom of the 1st

Nondoes CC attack the wall or the water cooler?
