Love the ever confident yankee fan. Seriously, good luck with your pitching, the lineup against righties is death, but bullpen is proved it was mediocre, and against teams like Minny and Tampa that will steal a base, you guys are in serious trouble outside the friendly confines of yankee stadium.

Truth of the matter is you need the homer to score, this, and the utter lack of starting pitching is going to be your downfall.

Can't say i'm all that worried. CC is money, Andy always steps up come post season time, Burnett sucks (but maybe he's due I dunno), and Hughes has been really good. The starting pitching is fine, and if they can get Woods and Mo in 8th and 9th the game is as good as over. Can't say that about Fuentes and Capps. Offensively the Yanks are better than the Twins. And it's not like the Twinkies have all that great of a rotation, especially when their top guy is Carl Pavano

The Yankees and Rays actually match up better than you think. Both have had almost the same issues leading up to the playoffs, should be an interesting series once they finish their respective first round opponents.
