we are here if you like a sports were finally coffees baseball in fact
recording this on the final in the season where we just finished watching
the giants eliminate partners for the last five playoff
but we've got a season that look forward to so we're going to have fun for the
next three weeks can't you get check out our baseball chops
bioshock thompson i'm the director of his analysis of baseball itch q
if your fantasy player and how to check this out you really need to do so
because we are the best
fantasy site on the planet
and you can also check out my work this week a sports weekly usatoday or we're
going to be presenting our foresees an overview and you'll get a comparative
wrap-up
of how these teams all stacked up against each other
and again that starts mid week
but for now let's see what he supports what it is something similar just not as
much statistical analysis
but as i said for me about it and if you like the style assessment of your
friends that's a little bit tell you what i really think
which is what i'm going to be about what the yankees when series picket lines
here we are three days away from the beginning the post-season
the yankee civil already been installed as the world series favorite pet
treatable
that we don't know what this is name recognition after all
there the night
we also know that a lot of us about the money in fact the first three four
reasons but the yankees part favors is about
yankee fans don't want to hear me say this at the bottom line is there's no
way the yankees could sign free agents like cc so that the other
alex rodriguez
and market share all simultaneously paying top dollar if they want the only
major league baseball team is able to do so
there is no way that the yankees could go out and choir mid-season bench debt
like lance berkman if they didn't have the league's only bottoms budget
and there is no way the yankees make the post-season year after year
if they aren't the only the league's only two hundred million dollar payroll
if they want and studying for the other close by an average probably up hundred
million
but i've not heard gary hankins
i've got a hater when i hate ur citywide t
if a camera pans that put the good news
they have baseball's best offense
and it's not just like to share it
it's guys like robinson cano nick swisher who are having career here's
bottom line is that yankees are going playoffs heads and tails above the earth
their competition
and this is where the money has really come in handy it's where they've given
that the advantage on the field
because if you look at their pitching it shaky
the yankees have no clue what they're going to get after cc sabathia
uh... andy pettitte has come off of six weeks from the p_l_o_ who initiates
he's had three starts they've been all up and down
phil hughes youngster can experience
has and we are in your five here in september he's never made a post season
start
and to hire free agent guns that the yankees pate millions to to avoid this
sort of predicament
hobby vasquez in a cave ernet
or awful all your role law
that couple that with the fact that ariel rivera
has chosen this point in time to show his a
makes the anchi situations gary rivera has given up six runs in his last six
innings which is what has many runs as he's given up all year long
not surprisingly the yankees have only one tenth of their last twenty seven
games
and there in the post-season a little bit overrated
and maybe more than act
i would have picked the twins to win this series particularly one starting in
minnesota about a week and a half ago
even though the twins have had all kinds of problems against the yankees they've
lost six straight post-season games to new york
and they've really struggled in yankee stadium
the twins had been having a terrific year they were overcoming injuries from
their all-star closer
jamaican
and
so they're all star first baseman just one aol
since the all-star break they doubt please everybody in the american league
there again contributions from everybody roster
and they were about to establish police
best one loss record
what happened
well for starters
jumeirah went down with the three
he's caught only one game in the twins final six
thirty pains of the season
jim tell me they're leaving home run hitter
has come down with back problems
he's had five attacks in the final eleven games
and brad benson arguably their best pitch in the second half and certainly
their biggest roster surprise
has had three straight shaky happens to finish the year
and ended his life starts saturday complaining of shoulder soreness
not surprisingly the twins have now last date of their last ten games
their offense had been held reruns six times during this period
and their pitching has coughed up seven runs a contest
literally they are looking into the pursuit
so the bottom line
this one it is almost too close to call
prime desiccated go
i think the educators have been a breakthrough
i think they're going to take control of breaks urban so that they're going to
take it back to new york
and finish the point software
i hate pic again taking against the twins because they'd overcome so much
less far
and also because i hate picking goldman sachs twin i mean the yankees to win
the post-season
we all know that money does final and this is why the yankees that my love for
the series
so finished here i'll be back to talk about can prevent access later on
