Because he’d likely only pitch once, in Game 3, when we’re already up 2 games to zip, and even if he wins his game I suspect we’d win the ALCS in 5 games. Tampa is a more difficult matchup, imo.
The Rangers haven’t seen the Yanks’ top 3 starters since the beginning of the season, and their lineup can be pitched around. Seems like the obvious call. Plus I’d like to skip the payroll disparity talk a NYY-TB series would generate from the TBS commentators every. Fucking. Game.
And, yes, I’d go Waldman, but Lord Almighty I’m certainly not proud of myself.
Texas doesn’t really scare me lineup wise. Hamilton’s a shell of what he was all year. Vlad is streaky. Cruz is streaky. Kinsler is garbage.
Cliff Lee probably will pitch once, maybe twice, and beyond that their rotation is pretty weak. If Cliff Lee loses the game he pitches…it almost locks up the series.
I think Tampa is the tougher matchup for the Yanks.
Both have pluses & minuses. Texas has no one outside of Lee & the lineup can be dangerous but still Vlad is a hacker, albeit a dmgerous one.Tampa, besides the fact that a portion of the crowd will be rooting for us, is a god awful park. Seriously if you keep them off the bases they are incredibly average. You justkeep Crawford off the bases. Both teams pens are about equal, except I trust Soriano a little more. Feliz had the deer in the headlights look the other night.
I Guess Texas because their fan base is obnoxious & arrogant with no reason to be. It would be nice to shut up those twangy douche fucks.
Don’t underestimate the b j susan probably gives…to sterling ! Does Lupica know how much he sucks and people hate him? I wonder how many times he said Yankees payroll today?
Would rather face Tampa. Nothing after Price and we only face him once. Lee and Wilson are far better than Price and Garza. Tampa is a better hitting team and they have a better closer, but…pitching, pitching, pitching.

Can’t I vote for the Orioles? Oh wait, they took 2 out of 3 from us not too long ago. This team sucks. When do pitchers and catchers report? AHHHHHH AJ!!!!! Fuck….

Suzyn used to give good head back in the day.
Mingle October 12, 2010 00:28
Im one of the 4 from California, displaced Yankee fan how fantastic, ….wait, your gonna find out I voted for Suzyn!
RandomSportsGuy October 12, 2010 06:20
I’d take most men over Suzyn Waldman.
noseeum October 12, 2010 07:31
Damn she’s hot.
noseeum October 12, 2010 07:32
Oh wait. That’s Kevin Long. I need to change my vote.
Ben Dover October 12, 2010 08:29
Suzyn Waldman….picture her singing “Sweet Mystery of Life” while doing it, ALA Young Frankenstein. K-Long just don’t have that kind of voice.
MannyGeee October 12, 2010 08:41
I would rather Joe Maddon than either… those Buddy Holly specs and ‘silver fox’ hair is just dreamy
vic October 12, 2010 08:59
so 3/4 of people would rather sleep with Kevin Long than Suzyn Waldman?
Butters October 12, 2010 09:04
So seriously, 2/3 of you would rather face Cliff Lee? I am surprised by that. Any reason?
What, what? In my butt.
George Steinbrenner October 12, 2010 09:06
That Texas lineup just doesn’t scare me nearly as much as Tampa’s. Hamilton is still hurt. Beyond Lee, they have nothing.

Seems like most of you would be interested in taking a trip with Kevin Long to PoundTown.

Texas has better lineup than TB, Cliff Lee and a nasty pen. TB has great starting pitching , great team speed and superb defense.
Both good squads but CJ Wilson and Colby Lewis dont care me as much as Garza and Wade Davis, give me that fat fuck Nolan Ryans Rangers.

Plus the idea of smacking around the Rangers with George W Bush in attendance is delightful.
Small Sample Size October 12, 2010 13:26
W will probably wear a yankee hat and say he’s always been a yankee fan. Then he’ll party with Washington post game.

Waldman has a bigger penis than Brett Favre. I know from experience.
