Someone wrote me asking if I’d do playoff predictions. I’d do that, but frankly predicting the other series is irrelevant. Then Yankees won their first of eleven games that they need to win another World Series. While I’d like to see them win those eleven games in succession, they might lost a game or two, so repeating “Yankees sweep series” in a prediction column wouldn’t provide much value to anyone. So in short…
Yankees Win
Nothing Else Matters
The Angels threw their best at us in their home stadium, but the Yankees still prevailed. Robinson Cano got things started in the first inning with a bases loaded three run double. Jason Giambi drove in two with his double in the second and the game was effectively over. Mike Mussina threw 5 2/3 shutout innings as he took advantage of the run support. The only worry was the Angels got to Rivera in the ninth. Fortunately, it didn’t matter.
Game two is tonight at 10 pm. Yankees win, nothing else matters.
