ALDS Game One: Can I Start This?

2007-10-04 12:41

by Alex Belth

Well, here we are again. One year later and the Yanks are in the post-season once more. Before the game starts, I just want to express how grateful I am that our team is back in the playoffs. It's something that's simply not to be taken for granted, cause it ain't going to last forever. Moreover, I want to let you guys know how much Cliff and I appreciate the fact that you keep coming back to chill at the Banter. You make blogging a true pleasure.

As per usual, Cliff did a bang-up job of previewing the series this morning. Here is what Jay Jaffe thinks (Oh, and while you are at it,dig this piece on Alex Rodriguez by Steven Goldman).

I think that Sabathia is going to overwhelm the Yanks tonight. I hope I'm wrong, of course. It's on our boy Chien-Ming to match Cleveland's big fella. I know he can, but will he? Will the Yanks' left-handed hitters be able to do anything against CC? Will the Yankees' fielding hold-up for Wang?

I'll feel good about the Bombers' chances so long as they can take one of two games in Cleveland, won't you?

Yo, I'm amped for the game. I'll be blogging the entire series over at SI.com (just as Cliff is blogging the Phillies-Rockies series). While you are making the rounds, sure to check for Emma's blog over at Newsday.

Now, damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.

Let's Go Yan-Kees!

1. Shaun P

Thank you, Alex and Cliff (and Emma and Will W. and Bruce M. and - wait, that's everyone, right?), for making this the best Yanks blog, bar none.

Now, down to business - is it 6:30 yet?

2007-10-04 13:34:14

2. pwicked

I predict a sweep for Cleveland... There, that ought to put the whammy on 'dem Injuns. GO YANKEES !!!! WHOO HOOOOOO !!!

2007-10-04 13:36:53

3. Marcus

Yo Alex! You forgot to plug your own blog at the bottom of your SI Blog! All those newbs coming from the mainstream sports sites need to know the best place to go for all things Yankee, don't they?

Keep up the great work Alex and Cliff! And thank YOU for putting this whole shindig on for us nearly every day.

2007-10-04 13:52:31

4. Alex Belth

Yo Marcus, Yeah, I caught that at the last second. But I dunno, it would have been more than fine to plug BB on SI, but man, there is just something about me that feels uncomfortable with self-promotion. Not only that, but I wanted to try and plug as many Yankee blogs as I could. As it is, there are at least three or four more, including Canyon of Heroes, that I would have liked to plug. Didn't seem right to plug BB over another one. Regardless, thanks for the props.

2007-10-04 13:57:06

6. rbj

Dang, and I'm going to miss this game due to Aikido practice. Ah well, it's only the first game.

11 more wins for the Yankees this year!

2007-10-04 14:01:00

7. Rob Middletown CT

ManCaveItch injured by cameraman, but apparently is going to play anyway, per LoHud.

2007-10-04 14:05:44

8. Bookworm

6:30 -- early start -- but considering how long the playoff games can go (with all the commercials) -- I'm kind of glad. :-)

2007-10-04 14:07:38

9. Bob B

Met fans must be cursing the baseball gods when they see Kaz Matsui hit a Grand Slam in the playoffs.

2007-10-04 14:10:20

10. NC Highlander

Haven't even watched much of the Phils/Rocks game and I'm already tired of FrankTV.

Or am I just nervous about the Yankees?

2007-10-04 14:10:38

11. RIYank

BP gives the Yankees a 44% chance of winning this series. That's based on home field adv., team performance over the regular season, and pitching match-ups.

I'm surprised, I would have expected at least even odds. (The Red Sox were also underdogs, but of couse with a game in hand they're now favorites.)

2007-10-04 14:10:56

12. weeping for brunnhilde

Ok, I'm starting to get nervous...

Show time is nigh...

2007-10-04 14:12:26

13. RIYank

10 I'm definitely nervous. I expected to have Alex's "Very Glad to Be Here" attitude, but now I really don't want the Bombers to fail. And that's how I'm feeling, too -- it's not even the thirst for a championship but a desire that they not fail.

I'll snap out of it with the first pitch, I bet.

2007-10-04 14:21:37

14. weeping for brunnhilde

13 I think I know exactly the feeling you describe, RI. The fear of failure rather than the thirst for the gold.

Is it because our fortunes have been so poor of late, with one heartbreaking exit after another dating back to Arizona?

It's hard to be "very glad to be here," though on some level I am.

I think I still take the division series for granted after years of beating up Texas and Minnesota. I used to see the series as a sort of transitional buffer to "real" October baseball, but seeing as how we've found nemeses in California and Detroit, the division series now has me as nervous as the world series.

Whatever, let's just win this fucking thing.

It's high time.

2007-10-04 14:24:26

15. Shaun P

3 4 Anyone who clicks through to any of those fine blogs is likely to stumble on the Banter soon enough. That's how I got here in the first place, years ago, from the RLYW.

I totally understand you on the self-promotion thing Alex. IMHO, you and Cliff don't need to do it - the quality of your writing is promotion in itself.

13 I think I'm more giddy now than nervous. My little boy's first playoff game - sure he's only 3 and a half months old, and we're watching it on TV, but its the first one all the same.

2007-10-04 14:31:00

16. OldYanksFan

Jaffe's piece was quite thorough although at this point, held few surprises. One stat that was interesting was: "in an admittedly limited sample size, the (FRAA) Rate stat says Damon is 13 runs per 100 games better than Matsui in left."

It was certainly my perception that JD was better then Mats in LF, but I have learned here about 'perception'. I also think JD will get a little better next year... not physically, but in terms of judgement and route.

The Rockies have all but sealed their 2nd win, now heading back to Colorado. Their confidence and desire is obvious. I think they will win the NLCS.

I am nervous as hell bout this Yankee series. I can't ever remember being an underdog by this much. I want to win, but whatever happens, I hope we fight the good fight.

I think ARod will need 12 RBIs in this series for us to win.

2007-10-04 14:35:12

17. bhsportsguy

Good luck from a Dodger fan whose first favorite all-time player was Lou Gehrig (now Jackie Robinson, but hey cut me some slack).

2007-10-04 14:37:40

18. RIYank

Yes, Weeping, I think that's it. So many postseasons, so many failures, it just feels like this could be the same old story.

Shaun, that is probably the best antidote. I'll get home and watch with my son (14 yrs) and have a whole different perspective.

By the way, expect some Toaster visitors, especially some Dodger Thoughts regulars tonight here at BB.

2007-10-04 14:38:06

19. BklynBmr

What Shaun P said 1 .

14 "It's high time."

You're not kidding. I won't have to listen to one bud in particular who absolutely loves to remind me the Yanks haven't won since 2000. Never mind his Tigers haven't won since 1980F'n4, that does not seem to bother him. He's one of those who find more joy in Yankees' failures than in the success of his own team.

It's time, as Tom Petty once sang, to "tell the whole wide world to shove it!"

Will 3:30 (PT) ever get here? I'm bouncing off the walls...

2007-10-04 14:39:04

20. cult of basebaal

11 well, the red sox being underdogs in their series ought to tell you all you need to know about BP's methodology

2007-10-04 14:39:23

Oh, there's one now 18 17 .

Wow, I just clicked some links in the main posting and now I know what Emma Span looks like!

2007-10-04 14:45:06

23. cult of basebaal

4 and hell, not that i begrudge you mass levels of readership, but i'm fine with the blog just being old-timers during the playoffs (fine folks from the other Toaster blogs being the exception) ... we few, we proud, we band of banterers, we suffered through the highs and lows of this season; whatever the outcome of the next month maybe, we've earned the right to experience it together, here at the Banter

2007-10-04 14:47:18

24. tommyl

I can't tell if I'm excited, nervous or terrified.

2007-10-04 14:48:18

26. cult of basebaal

this tidbit from Petey:

In talking to the Yankee minor-league people and his coach at Nebraska, Joba is very dedicated to his conditioning program. He's dropped 75 pounds since high school and knows that is one of the reasons he got to the big leagues at the age of 21.

JEBUS! 75 pounds??? Joba was a BIG boy in high school.

2007-10-04 14:54:44

27. BklynBmr

23 Well stated!

2007-10-04 14:55:18

28. OldYanksFan

More from PeteAbe:
"Sabathia is literally a tall order in Game 1. If he gets knocked around, the Yankees could sweep. My call in the paper sticks, Yankees in four games."

Geez... I hope he knows something we don't!

2007-10-04 14:57:44

29. RIYank

Like Alex, I'm pretty worried about hitting C.C.
But, hey, it's a crap shoot. Let's roll those dice and get us a game one victory.

2007-10-04 15:17:33

31. bob34957

mlb.tv is pushing Carmona-Sabathia = Schilling-Johnson. Also, pushing Carmona-Sabathia as 9-0, versus K.C.,Minn, ChiSox, and Angels, in September. Should the Yanks be bothered by that info?

2007-10-04 15:28:38

32. BklynBmr

Yanks will start on TNT if Rockies-Phils go past 3:30 PT/6:30 EST...

I don't care what anyone says, Sabathia is not unhittable.

He's burned me plenty in fantasy baseball :)
