You can't keep awarding everyone first base. I've never seen anything like it in my life. The entire staff. Too many walks, too many runs, too many losses, too many 2nd place finishes, too many years of futility. This is torture. The death watch conitnues.

Want to know why I've never been a particularly vocal Yankee fan? Because the rest of the country would like nothing better than to boil me in oil, draw and quarter me, roast my remains over a spit, and then serve my char-broiled remains with a fine Chiante. This Internet posting from a message board says it all:
I might feel differently if I lived outside the metropolitan area, but if the Yankees were playing a team of marauding, baseball-playing aliens in a seven-game series for the future of mankind, I would swallow deep, shake my head, and-- with sadness but no regrets-- slip on a Team Aliens hat.
So far, the Yanks-Halos ALCS is memorable for all the wrong reasons: Terrible weather in New York, too many days off between too many games, late starting times (thanks to Fox), awful base running, worse defensive plays, heavily second-guessed decisions by both managers, and - to top it off - abysmal umpiring.
OK, Yanks finally wrap up the pennant. The World Series will come down to two things:
1) Who wins the duels between Sabathia and Lee
2) Whether Lidge can close out games in Yankee Stadium (or anywhere really)
That's what this matchup can be distilled down to.
