I was at CC's start in game one of the ALDS and he feel behind the hitters alot but his stuff was so nasty that he could battle through it and ended up not walking anyone. as long as CC and AJ can throw strikes and not walk guys i like our chances. If they walk guys against the angels they will make you pay for it and it could cost you a game or the series. I think that this series will be a lot tougher than alot of yankee fans are making it out to be. so the yankees have the talent and the will to be the last team standing, of coarse...but that angels team is on a roll and are playing with some extra motivation for Nick Adenheart. I think it will be an amazing series, but im not thinking that it will be an easy one thats for sure. p.s. i couldnt be happier for Arod and i hope he keeps it up, the stadium went nuts when he came through in game one and now he seems to have the fans on his side, its awesome to see. it would be smart to see our 3 best pitchers each get to pitch the most games so i agree with the idea of a three man rotation.

The strategy is about 5% of it, in my book, the rest is player execution. Bobby Abreu helped the Angels a ton this season, but I don't think they are quite as good as their record suggests, and I don't think they will beat the Yankees this time.

I know it wasn't mentioned in this post but I've heard it before. They seemed to do well against Lester, Papelbon and Co. Anyone know where I can find the Angels' numbers vs power pitching/power fastballs? Where did the perception that the Angels lineup has trouble against power pitching come from?
