The Yankees won their 40th pennant and are four wins away from their 27th World Series after beating the Angels, 5-2, in Game 6 of the ALCS last night. Chad Jennings has the story.
Mariano Rivera put in overtime to finish off the victory and was in the middle of yet another Yankees celebration, I wrote in my column. When you consider some of the closer collapses we’ve seen this postseason, Rivera’s consistency resonates even more.
Joe Girardi has taken plenty of heat for his bullpen decisions this month but they worked out fine yesterday, with the manager going to Joba Chamberlain in the seventh and Chamberlain responding by getting the job done. Josh Thomson has more on that, as well as a look at Girardi’s commitment to stick with struggling Nick Swisher – who got a huge cheer from the Stadium crowd when he singled last night.
CC Sabathia earned ALCS MVP honors – a decision even Alex Rodriguez agreed with – and the Yankees ace will face his former teammate, Cliff Lee, in Game 1 of the World Series. Josh has that story as well.
Finally – in a story well worth reading – Mike Dougherty writes about the Yankees honoring a fallen fire fighter from Yonkers last night. Patrick Joyce was killed investigating a three-alarm blaze earlier this month and the Yankees had a moment of silence in his memory before Game 6. The Yonkers Fire Department color guard, as well as about 40 members of the department, stood on the field during the playing of the National Anthem. Included among them were two of Joyce’s brothers.

Bobby Valentine picks the Yankees
Buster Olney picks the Yankees
John Kruk picks the Phillies (I’d cut him slack, that was his old team).
Steve Phillips picks rehab
(no seriously, he checked into rehab for sex addicts).
Kruk has been picking against the Yanks all year long. That’s good luck for us!
Accuweather says: Rain wednesday morning; clear wednesday night, but crisp 48°F.
Hopefully the rain stops early enough.

If Steve Phillips was looking for some strange, I’d say he certainly found it.
He now has lost his job, his wife and family and the intern isn’t returning his calls.
He should have stuck with cleaning ladies.

I heard Ripken last night. Where he went with that was this was the Angels opportunity to show the world on a big stage what a good team they are but it didn’t quite work out that way.
Just wanted to say to Chad, Sam, and Josh, you guys have done an amazing job this post-season with the coverage on the blog. Thanks, guys.
As for the Yankees, I dont think I have ever heard the stadium so loud. And at the end it was absolutely amazing with everyone singing New York, NY. One of the players even came out like 20 minutes later after everyone left the field and greeted the fans, giving them high fives on the Yankee dugout. Was a fun sight. I THINK it was Swisher.
I took a picture of and will put it all up on my blog later. Now its time for work after 2 hours of sleep. Was worth it though!
Hobbie-
Call Girls are the way to go. The transaction is professional.
Kruk said that the Yankees would finish 3rd in the AL East, then he said that the Yankees would not go far in the postseason, then he said that the ALCS would go to 7 Games. And he picked the Red Sox to win it all.
All of Kruk’s predictions this year were wrong. I think that this latest one is a kiss of death for the Phillies.
Christina-
Drink lottsa lattes, today.
“Call Girls are the way to go. The transaction is professional.”
Elliot Spitzer begs to differ.
Jeremy-
True. Kruk is a clown. He does “Larry the Cable Guy” schtick for their uninformed viewers.
I love how all this AL champion gear is all set to go 8 hours after the game. Who buys this stuff? No matter what happens, it is only good for about 3 days. Once the WS starts, it’s already old news. If the Yanks win the series, you need World Champion gear, not ALCS stuff. If they lose, there is no reason to ever wear your AL champions shirt or hat again.
Thanks, pat. That’s the context that I missed, then. As I said, I was more than half asleep at the time I heard it.
Christina -
I’m so glad you had the opportunity to be there last night. It must have been phenomenal! A great memory for you. You must feel absolutely ecstatic this morning.
Anybody know where we can find pictures of the clubhouse celebration?
Mark-
Very true for Yankees fans, but other teams that don’t ever get this far, winning the pennant is a big deal. I bet the (few) Rays fans all have their 2008 AL Champ gear.
Anybody know where we can find pictures of the clubhouse celebration?

Glad to hear you got home safe and had a good time.
Tell your students to go easy on you today and you’ll return the favor when they are tired and cranky someday.
Big Stein-
Clubhouse celebration! I wanna what happens when you add 1 Nick Swisher and 200 bottles of champagne.
I cannot stop smiling today! Great game last night.

Yes, I do see a few Rays AL champion things. Good point. What is funny, though, is how some of the other teams gear slips out from time to time. They are supposed to destroy it, I think, but I think they give some to charity, too. For example, I have seen a few Arizona Cardinals Super Bowl Champion shirts in the last year, and I remember seeing some Buffalo Bills stuff about 15 years ago.
Christina
I am so happy you got to be there
I am guessing there are a lot of tired Yankee fans out there. It was difficult to get to sleep after.
I can understand CC getting the MVP, but really thought the whole series was carried by Alex. While CC dominated he didn’t influence as many games as Alex did.
I don’t think its a major deal, but I would have at least given CC and Alex co-MVP awards.
I loved how the Angels fell apart at the end of the game. They were down, but they choked. Those errors were terrible.
Great Yankees win, though. 4 more to go!
CC was definitely deserving of the MVP , but I was a little surprised it didn’t go to Alex. I kind of wish they had been co-MVPs.
Erin,
Alex will just have to hit 5 home runs and be world series MVP.
EricVA-I could live with that! LOL
Doreen October 26th, 2009 at 7:56 am
Did anyone else hear Billy Ripken on MLB last night say something to the effect that the best thing about the ALCS was that now everyone knows what a good baseball team the Angels are? Or was I just so tired that I missed something – context, exact words, whatever? I think I’m going to try and see if they replay that post-game this morning to catch it again.
********
Wow really? They showed themselves to crumble under pressure which is what all the Yankee haters wanted to happen to our team.
Everyone catch Jean Aferman (sp) She was running around pouring champagne on players.
EricVA
Daylife as well. CC came out and sprayed champagne too. Got some old lady!
- Ken Rosenthal has done his last interview with the Captain. Negativity got him nowhere.
- Brian Bruney will wish he didn’t douse Hal Steinbrenner with bubbly. He’d better save that bottle as a souvenir.
- Ever the stealth businessman, Cashman had Yankee future on his mind by devoting time to Aroldis Chapman rather than spraying bubbly. A great scenario for Chapman to witness for his 1st time in the Stadium.
- Andy Pettitte has earned all the incentives in his contract and should be back in 2010.
- Need one more prediction from Steve Phillips for good luck. Kruk has done his part.
- Mike Scoscia is a class individual.
- The Phillies are a whole different team than the Twins or Angels but nothing that can’t be overcome.
-
Neil- I was wondering who that was!
jennifer – I was so tired, and I missed the context of what Ripken said, and pat filled in the gaps for me above:

Context is everything.
I was moved by Jorge Posada’s emotional embrace of Mariano Rivera after the last out. We watched those guys come up and have grown old with them. I could weep.
When the Yankees win the World Series, I WILL weep.
i agree about rosenthal. jeter called him out immediately.
OH okay, that is a little different. To me the Angels weren’t even in the same league as the Yankees. They were supposed to be this great fundamental team; an aggressive team. They weren’t either. I heard they stole 2 bases the entire series. So much for being worried about stolen bases.
PETE WHO ?!?!??!?!
Great Job with the Blog Guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goo YANKSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
cheap seats- me too. There was so deep emotion there.
I loved that a lot of players had their children. Jorge had his son and some friends so cute. It is like they wanted their kids to enjoy the moment with them. Nice that Joe let them bring them in.
How come CB hasn’t come on to talk about how bunts are useless?
How come SJ44 isn’t talking about how we need to trade Alex and Joba?
How come Randy isn’t congratulating Cashman for constructing the team?
How come none of them pointed out how putrid Zposafa is at the plate?
How come none of them apologized to Trisha that she was right and they were wrong?
Cmon boys. Man up. She proved you wrong ALL season. Don’t go out like this
Wow. Just saw that Soupy Sales died.
He loved throwing those pies!
RIP
What all did Rosenthal say?? I kind of tuned him out.
And Chapman was in the house last night???
“Everyone catch Jean Aferman (sp) She was running around pouring champagne on players.”
She was dousing Jeter last night. Look like she was ready to party.;)

He was there. My brother said he heard somebody say that Cashman was giving him a tour of the trophy room when the locker room celebration was going on.

He brought up the negatives to Jeter. That the last 2 times they were in the ws they lost. Something along those lines.

You must be Trisha’s alter ego.
Crawdaddy
She was soaked. I also found a picture of Jennifer Steinbrener and a player was pouring champagne on her.
“He was there. My brother said he heard somebody say that Cashman was giving him a tour of the trophy room when the locker room celebration was going on.”
I know that Cashman was absent last night after the game because I didn’t see him during the post game celebration.
I like where the Yankees are right now. Arod is still hot, and shows no signs of slowing down. Teixeira is getting better ABs, and I think he is just about to break out big time. Jeter had a little lull, .259 in the LCS, but I am sure he will do well in the WS. Swisher appears to have gained at least a little confidence. We still need Posada and Matsui to bust out, they have been dreadful thus far. Defense is playing very good.
Also, I think we match up OK against their pitchers. Lee is very good, but the Yankee hitters are familiar with him. He was also facing almost all of the Dodgers/Rockies for the first time. Advantage to the pitcher in that situation. Even if Pedro is good, we should be into the bullpen early in those games. And Hamels is struggling right now.
“OH okay, that is a little different. To me the Angels weren’t even in the same league as the Yankees. They were supposed to be this great fundamental team; an aggressive team. They weren’t either. I heard they stole 2 bases the entire series. So much for being worried about stolen bases.”
As Yankee fans we should know better than any other, how your great team can look so average during a short game series.
Nope. I’m the “chauvinist” that read this woman Trisha absolutely own these proclaimed experts the whole year. These guys spent all season pontificating about the game and dropping names, theorems, and “old fashioned common sense” to I form us ignorant fans on the game. They take over the site when one of their apocalyptic visions take hold and either run away when they don’t (SJ44 where are you?) or revise history (apparently randyl likes arod now!).
Be on the lookout for guys like Ripken, MaCrane, and Williams from MLB to pick against the Yankees in this WS. Even some XM Radio guys.
why did bruney think it was a good idea to pour champagne on hal steinbrenner?
jennifer -
The Yankees kept the pesty guys off the bases for the most part and limited walks. Limited the damage. Did a great job!

***********
No doubt. Kruk already picked the Phillies, so we’re golden!
On pitching side, CC and Pettitte have a good matchup against the majority of the Phillies power(Howard, Utley, Ibanez). Werth does scare me a bit, he is a very underrated player, IMO.
My concern is the bullpen, though. I hope that Hughes and Joba are rejuvenated against hitters that haven’t seen very much of them. Also, with the lefties in this lineup, prepare for a lot of Coke and Marte. Not a comforting thought.

Trisha doesn’t need any help from you to defend her opinions against those guys.
Here we are going to the WS and the only thing on your mind is to start some old argument about who was right.
“So, who cares?”
Several here that will whine about how those guys are picking against the Yankees.
I thought Joba looked pretty good last night. Hopefully that was a good confidence booster for him.
So you are preemptively whining?
Mo had a lot to say last night.
Don’t see failing as failure.
That’s a classic. He’s like an old wizard at this point in his career.
I have heard that the Phillies are likely to start Pedro in game 2. I hope they do. If I were Philly, I would want the lefties pitching in YS. A declining Pedro with a short fence in his head should be a very good thing for the Yanks.
“So you are preemptively whining?”
Are you trolling?
Im in a relatively great mood for a monday morning considering I slept 3 hours last night and my throat hurts from screaming
Many thanks to Carl Crawford and his spectacular catch in the All Star game thus securing home field advantage for the American League in the World Series.
“I have heard that the Phillies are likely to start Pedro in game 2. I hope they do. If I were Philly, I would want the lefties pitching in YS. A declining Pedro with a short fence in his head should be a very good thing for the Yanks.”
I agree with you Mark.
Joba looked good in that he didn’t give up any runs, but he wasn’t fooling anybody, they hit everything hard off of him.
I have such a Yankee hangover
Happy morning, everyone!
It’s been a long time since the Yankees were in this position and it feels as sweet now as it did last night. What makes it better than the last time is that we have this community to share the ups and downs ……
This is going to be a tough, hard-fought WS – hopefully the Yanks will have #27 at the end of the next week and a half.
58 hours and 28 minutes until Game 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not picking a fight. Not defending her. Pointing out hypocrites and wimps when I see them. All they have to do is apologize for preaching from the Mount all season and being wrong and admit the possibility that because Hal MacRae once slapped their naked butt in a shower in 1978 they may not know everything about the game.
Speaking of which/ Has anyone posted the runs given up by all bullpens this postseason? I want to see how awful girardi was in that aspect of game…
“Many thanks to Carl Crawford and his spectacular catch in the All Star game thus securing home field advantage for the American League in the World Series.”
I’ll bet he would have dropped it if he knew the Rays were going to dump Kazmir and his teammates were going to tank their season just a few weeks later!

It will be interesting if they do. When my dad heard they were thinking of starting him in game 2 he said “I don’t think they want to start that idiot at Yankee Stadium” LOL

Thats great to hear about Chapman!! What a great game to give him the tour. Cash…..just get it done!!
On another note……is anyone else hearing it from the Yankee haters today? Blah, Blah….Yanks money….Blah, Blah…Yanks ruining the game…Blah. Im loving every minute of this. Yank haters are on the edge…

*****************
Tim, supposedly he was giving Chapman a tour of the stadium
I wondered where Cashman was,he was wowing Chapman with the Yankee mystique and history.
I read this guy is 21yr old(Aroldis Chapman)lefty,and throws a 102 fastball,yikes!!
If you think you are worthy of the best,why not go some place to showcase your talent,the New York Yankees.
This opens so many questions,does Andy get a call back? Does Chien Ming Wang,get a minor league contract,or stay in the rotation?
what happens to Phil and Joba,in the pen or starting rotation?
Yankees mantra: Dynasty is Destiny,go Yankees!!
The Mo/Jo hug was poignant and is the image I remember most from last night.
What did Rosenthal say ? It’s kind of like when AJ responded to Kim Jones “how about the Yankees” after she asked about othe Angels…….It’s always about something negative (this isn’t the same team as last year, nevermind a few years back) or another team, never this year’s team

I think that if Andy wants to come back the Yankees will welcome him. His post-season record is amazing.

Mo = Yoda. Plain and simple. Someone should make a T-shirt.
The Phillies pitching has better find itself in the next 48 hours. You’re not in the NL anymore, Dorothy.
Maybe the celebration will rub off on Aroldis. I think $$$$ will rub off a lot more.
Having Pedro pitch in YS, and beating his tuchas one last time, will be true redemption. Pedro’s made some deal with the devil here (does Nelson the little guy–remember him–have anything to do with it) to pitch like its 1995 in 2009.
Yankees have the best ERA in the playoffs at 2.46. Closest is Philly, at 3.04.
As to the bullpen question, the Yanks have given up 7 runs this PS. The other LCS teams are Philly(10), LA Angels(15), and Dodgers(14). DS teams-Minn and Col gave up 6 each, Boston (7), and St. Louis only 2.
The troubling thing for the Yanks is that Phil Hughes gave up 3 of those runs. He has to get back on track. The others were Aceves(2), Joba and Mariano-1 each.

The Yankees can start by changing the number of AL Championships from 39 to 40 at the Stadium, and on Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa. Keep the signmakers on standby for a No. 27
I would like to point out to everyone who dumps on Girardi that one of the most striking aspects of the ALCS was that the Angels were forced out of playing their game. They committed a lot of errors, made terrible baserunning mistakes, and their running game was relatively neutralized. Granted, some of that was the pressure of the situation, but it also had to do with strategy – who was hitting, how often the pitcher tossed over to first, when the baserunners were sent, etc. The Yanks are a team of all stars, but their manager made a lot of good moves to get them past their nemesis.
Good job Joe, now go get us four more wins!

Yankees haters don’t understand the hurdles the Yankees had to overcome to get to the WS.Yankees beat the one team in regular season play,and when they met in postseason.The Yankees SHOWED ALL OF BASEBALL,this team is the real deal.
The Phillies had no competition really after the division race.The Dodgers made Pedro look like a CY contender.Phillies are the reigning champs,but the Yankees are too close to lay down like the Dodgers.Vegas loves the Yankees in 6
Giants loss was the only thing that kep it from being a perfect sports day in NY.

Did anybody hear the McCarver quote: “It is appropriate that Mariano Rivera starts every pitch with a bow.” He never explained himself. What did he mean by that? Does he think Mariano is Japanese? Maybe that he is a modern day Samurai? What else? It was very confusing, and as usual, probably very little basis for it; and as always, no follow up question from Buck.
Thanks Mark. So we had the lowest era other than St. Louis I presume? Yet people wanted girardi fired over bullpen mgmt. They say joba is useless even though he gave up one run? And Hughes had really one bad inning as a 24 yr old in his hometown. It is expected that the media will grasp at straws to make controversy but for so many fans to fall prey is disturbing. It’s like people don’t care what they actually see…they need to be told what to think. Anyhow, apparently this is the first day in 8 months that not one of the three amigos is online. Of course, why would anyone be online today?
Mark,
I laughed out loud when McCarver said that?
Same plan win 2 at home,at least 1 or more on the road.Dodgers split the first two at home,and lost on the road.

MLB NETWORK POST-GAME OCT 25th COMMENTARY SHAMEFUL!
I love the MLB Network but what I witnessed during the MLB postgame commentary last night was shameful. The Yankees win, are headed to the world series for the first time since 2003, and Joe Magrane & company take repeated digs that “Andy Pettitte’s stuff is fading” and “Jeter’s peers consider him overrated.” I’d expect this from a local, partisan broadcast but this is supposed to represent all of MLB. Pettitte had a sold second half (6-3, 3.31 ERA in 14 starts) and has kept rolling through the playoffs. Jeter hits .334 with a .406 OBP, 30 steals and 18 HRs, tied his best ever fielding % of .986 (led the American League), continues to rip through the record books, and this smug commentator disses them minutes after they win the pennant. Real classy coming from a 57-67 pitcher with one good season on his resume. The lead-in should have been the fact that Pettite (229-135) is now the all-time win leader in post-season history (16-9, including 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA this year). Aside from Billy Ripken’s professional, balanced commentary this panel of commentators showed no class and let down MLB fans. Regardless of who wins the series I hope there are better commentators who can celebrate individual and team achievements in this great American sport.
