I think the Yankees are done.
Game 1 they barely squeaked by. Game 2 Texas shut them down. Game 3, tonight, they bend over to Cliff Lee.
Now I know the 8-0 score isn't as bad as it looks, considering Texas' rally was in the ninth inning and the Yankees held them off the scoreboard for the previous seven innings after that Hamilton 2-run homer.
But the real problem is that the Yankees can't fucking hit anymore. The ENTIRE team is in a slump. Texiera has been hitless this series. The same thing happened in the 2007 ALDS against Cleveland...the entire team was in a slump (besides Matsui) and they never got out of it.
Another problem with the Yankees is that they incapable of scoring any runs during the first five innings of any postseason game. Outside of the Game 3 victory against Minnesota in the ALDS, every game the Yankees have played this postseason they've had to come from behind. Watch it happen tomorrow too...Texas will sit on like a 3-0 lead while the Yankees wait until the 6th inning to even think about putting a rally together.
Now if the Yankees take both games tomorrow and Wednesday, they only have to split back in Texas to win the series. But what's probably going to happen is that they'll split the next two games in Yankee Stadium and head back to Texas down 3-2, which isn't winnable IMO. |
no pun intended but, geez for once i agree with u on something on these forums..with everything u said! theres isnt much i can add to this other then that the hitting squad needs to step it up, and NOW!
