These were the keys to slipping past a Yankee team that missed out on some big opportunities in their 3 losses. I watched every pitch and don't share the same feelings as Brock on the strike zone. IMO, it was different game-to-game but applied equally to both teams.

Joe Maples, don't be jinxing the Tigers.

I'm off to Dallas to hopefully enjoy U Texas, OU game early and Tigers, Rangers late.

Congrats to all the teams that made it to post season play, the winners and losers.

Hi Joe G. Hope your Old Judge collection is growing. I am in the minority, don't believe in Jinxes. That trip to Dallas sounds great, enjoy.

The yankees are only going to get Younger for next year. A.J wont be back, Posada is going to retire, Swisher can leave. . Yankees will sign Yu Darvish, Montero will be in the line-up full-time, Nova will be a starter, same as Hughes. I'm not sure yet that i even would want the Yankees to sign C.C back cause he's choked in the last two playoffs. So I'm thinking, 1. Yu Darvish, 2. C.C 3. Nova, 4. Hughes, 5. Either sign C.J. Wilson or another one of our young arms.

Sabathia's problem is he is carrying far too much weight. He was having a fine season until fatigue set in. If he shed 20-30 pounds, he would have had a better September and October.

Yu Darvish???? Please take Dice-k at a discount.

The track record of Japanese pitchers translating (no pun intended) to the big leagues is not too good. It seems as if the best only have a couple year shelflife.

I think the Yankees just have too much money tied up in crap. Posada at a discounted rate as a fulltime DH isn't such a bad idea. But ARod? CC? Jeter? No good. Pitching wins in the playoffs and Nova might be their only 'decent' pitcher (other than CC). Hughes is shot. With the old position players and weak starting pitching they're not fixable in one year.

Hughes is shot!!! Thats pretty funny, sure looked good yesterday. And they are fixable in one year. I sure hope your not a Yankee fan, cause if so your a horrible fan. And we dont know yet whether C.C is coming back, he can opt out.
