It will be GREAT weather for a game tonight - a football game. You SoCal So-Sos better be ready for some October baseball in The Bronx.

What a great game so far, if you are a Yankees fan.
Three more outs. Fingers crossed that this one can go in the books with a Yankees win.

Great pitching performance by CC tonight and timely hitting with poor Angel defense.

3 errors in the playoffs is just terrible baseball. No way Angels deserved to win.

Go Yankees!!

First, let me say I have been to playoff games at the old ballpark before and even fortunate to be at the World Series in 96, but one word to describe last night: ELECTRIC!

and who says you can't smoke at Yankee Stadium ;)

Had seats down below, but went up to the last row and had an Esencia tres petit prior to first pitch.

Well, Angels did kick the ball around like a hackysack, but you can't blame them much for that Matsui "hit" in the first - after all, he did smack it a good 800 feet.


Of course, that was 350 up and 350 back down, but still . . . .

I take it you calculated the distance from the plate to where it landed in your 800 feet? :D

Of course, that's the other 100. If not for that it would have bounced foul off the plate. :ss

My first trip to the new ballpark too, really liked it! Yes it's not the "old ballpark," but they really did do a nice job of making a big place that felt pretty small. I could honestly say I didn't think there was a "bad" seat in the house. Only place I wouldn't want to seat would be with either foul pole in my line of sight, but any place else looked like a nice seat.

Have you been to the new ballpark yet?

Not yet. Maybe next year if they drop the ticket prices to a reasonable price.

You also need to get your cigars over to Habana Premium. :D

Very good. I have a couple from Azon resting until I feel a little better to smoke them. Hopefully for a Yankee World Series victory.

I have to say that using stub hub, I've been very surprised at the "reasonable" pricing for playoff tickets. Keeping in mind (and now that I have been to the stadium) that there isn't a bad seat in the house.

If you can get ticks in the first couple rows of the terrace section, over the dugout for give or take a $100, it's a steal.

Can't tonight, but waiting to see what they are going to do with respect to weather. If tom. sometime or Monday (given that tom. doesn't look great weather wise either and they don't want to TV clash with NFL) I just may go back in :D

If not you can go to game 1 vs the Dodgers. :D

From what I understand, if today is rained out, they will bumb Giants game up to 1 PM and play in The Bronx at 4:30 - or that's what I heard last night.

MedicCook 10-17-2009 11:03 AM
Re: Yankees vs Angels ALCS 2009
 
They pretty much have to play the game on Sunday since Monday is in LA. If the game gets rained out that also means you will see Chad Gaudin pitching for the Yankees at some point.

The Poet 10-17-2009 11:05 AM
Re: Yankees vs Angels ALCS 2009
 
FYI, it has stopped raining here in Madison, and is actually getting lighter outside. Don't know what the radar says, but it's a good sign.

Heard the same thing last night at the stadium. Sunday doesn't look great either though, so if it is constant rain, they'd have no choice but to play on Monday. We'll see.

Kinda why I was hoping for 2 days of rain lol, but if Yanks are up 3-0, we can put up with a little Gaudin :D

I am sure they will be doing everything possible to get the game in tonight.

He has been great for the Yankees. They have won each of his starts. Of course he has not pitched in a while which is never a good thing.

The Poet 10-17-2009 11:16 AM
Re: Yankees vs Angels ALCS 2009
 
With that bullpen, all they need is 5 good innings from Chad.

They could just use the bullpen of Robertson, Coke, Joba, Hughes & Mo and throw a perfect game. :D

I went out for a quick Sabroso, and Hayzeus Kreese, is it raw outside! Colder than the proverbial sorceress's mammary! I'd hate to try to play tonight.

Chad Gaudin vs. LAA 2009:

WINS 0
LOSS 1
INNINGS 7.2
HITS 16
RUNS 10
EARNED RUNS 10
HOME RUNS 3
WALKS 2
STRIKEOUTS 4
ERA 11.74
WHIP 2.35
OPP BAA .421

If Gerardi continues to "over-manage," though he did a MUCH better job last night than in the ALDS, you will see exactly what you wrote above. The hope being that Gaudin doesn't give up too many runs prior to the bullpen march in.

We're not really going to compare Chad Gaudin to CC Sabathia here are we? :D

The hidden gem in the Yankees bullpen is Robertson. He does not get much press with all the other guys in there but he has awesome stuff.

63 Ks in 43.2 innings this year and then that amazing job getting out of the jam against the Twins. The bullpen for the Yankees looks better than ever with all the young arms in it.

Are you the president of the Chad Gaudin fan club? :r

Just kidding with you, but agree anything can happen and I'd love to see him step up, if he has the opportunity.

Hell, he could be pitching to close it out!
