Feel free to use the following paragraph for an impossible-to-answer trivia question.
Since the 1998 American League Division Series, Mariano Rivera has recorded the final out in 16 of 18 series clinching wins for the Yankees. His others: Ramiro Mendoza in the 1999 ALCS against Boston, and Gave White in the 2003 ALDS against Minnesota.
Rivera has allowed one earned run in his past 20 postseason appearances. His scoreless ninth inning last night lowered his all-time best postseason ERA to 0.72.
“I’m always extremely nervous when I’m not pitching and watching the games until he comes in,” CC Sabathia said. “He’s done it so much. You just get a real calm feeling.”

Serenity…(crack! another broken bat!)
Haha.
“I take it from here, kid.”
Just nobody better, not now – not ever. Enjoy the feats of Mariano. The likes of him won’t be seen again.
Gabe* White
.33 era in the division series.
Maddon is so dumb sometimes. He’s just paving the road to the tunnel to the clubhouse. He needs to stay in the game, not be tossed early on.
Some other startling numbers on Rivera in the post season: in 30 total series over 91 games, only twice has he allowed 2 runs in a series, 2 runs allowed in 2 games. He’s allowed 13 runs in 91 games, only 11 earned.
One real interesting thing about that picture of these (6) yankees;
There are 3 without question hall of fame guys, and three other guys who also have a shot.
I dated Gabe White’s female cousin about 10 years ago!
Some umpire – maybe Joe West – made Gabe take off his necklace or chain around his neck while pitching with the Yankees. It was the first time in Gabe’s career that an umpire made him remove it!
In addition to all the numbers and accolades Rivera really looked good in the ALDS. The explosiveness and command were back in a big way…..not that I ever doubted, but it certainly was nice to see. He gave the Twins no sliver of a chance last night….
Looks like this thing could be headed back to Tampa after all
In between family events I’ve been watching the Rays game and reading the comments on the Minny paper. Here’s a comment that typifies what was said by quite a few people, and something I believe totally forgotten by Yankee fans when postseason comes around.
Rule in Central Division
In the future if the Twins win the Central, they are replaced in the playoffs by the fourth place team in the East.
Yanks are in the toughest division in the majors. They typically have their hardest matches against their AL East rivals. I would say that actually enures to their benefit when the postseason rolls around. Twins fans are right, certainly factually right, in pointing out that the Twins won their division beating Chicago, Detroit, and KC. Not quite the same as facing the Rays, Yanks, Jays, and Suxers. Baltimore under Buck may actually get added to that list.
Funny how hfa has “worked out” thus far, at least in the AL. Home team has been swept at home!
Blake, even the Great Rivera can get out of whack on the mound and needs some instruction. Too bad they couldn’t have found the problem a couple of weeks earlier, but, he’s as good now as he was 10 years ago. As long as they continue winning games and series, I don’t care whether they were in as Wild Cards or not.
As was mentioned last night about defense and flashy teams, all of the flash didn’t help Texas on defense this game. Kinsler butchered the short pop to right and it cost his team.
Off again. Bye!
Does FOX have to use a freeze frame shot of Steve Bartman in it’s playoff promo?
Hasn’t he gone through enough?
This is looking like it will come down to the Yankees facing Lee or Price, but, not until Game #3. Neither one will be a fun time, but, an extended series is the best possible news.
I don’t even want to imagine what it will be when Mo is gone
.
GB7,
Nah, I really don’t either and I think at this point September is a distant memory. That doesn’t matter anymore as they have already shown they can play well in the postseason. Mo just looked a little tired and out of whack as you said (he’s done that before) but in the Twins series everything looked just like always….cracking bat after bat.
I also think HFA matters more in a 5 game series than it does in a 7. If you think about it, in some ways it almost sets up better for the team without as they have 3 straight home games. Really the HF team needs to win both of the opening games to reap any benefit from it….if the Yankees go into either Tampa or Texas and split then they have 3 straight home games after that. If the Yanks can split the first 2 games and then win 2 of 3 at home then they have just have to win one of Game 6 or 7…whereas the home team would have to win both. The first two games of a 7 game series are critical because if the home team doesn’t win them both then the advantage switches over to the visiting team….and its never easy to win both of those games.
Go Devil Rays!
Longoria crushed that
game 5!
extra innings in game 5 would be wonderful!!
Yup, not having to face Lee or Price until game 3 would be big because when they did face them it would be at YS. Would give the Yankees the pitching advantage in both of the opening road games.
The minny series really came down to RISP. Yankees were good, minny ended up 1-for-15 iirc.
I would go cc/Andy/Hughes/aj.
If Lee/price pitch game 3, Hughes can give it a go at home. That pitcher would also pitch a potential game 7. I like Hughes in Texas.
If they want Andy to match up with their ace/clinch a game 7 then pitch Hughes 2nd.
I haven’t looked at the schedule of having someone like CC pitch on short rest in the series. I’m sure jerkface has, though.
Blake, apparently somewhere in late August or early September, Rivera changed the position of his hand on the ball and things flattened out for him and that change was made in that two day side session in the outfield, I believe in Toronto. Strange that even HE change change something so subtly that it messes up his almost perfect mechanics/hand position. Is it any wonder that fixing guys like Burnett/Hughes/Vazquez can take so much longer to fix? They aren’t close to being able to repeat pitch after pitch.
m,
The game 3 starter would be in line to pitch game 7 on normal rest or the Game 4 starter will be available to throw game 7 on short rest.
They could throw CC in games 1, 4, and 7 if they chose to…..
Ugh, I hate the Rays! I do not want to have to face them in the ALCS, I’d rather get shots or have all my teeth filled. I don’t care if we have to face cliff lee every game, I live in Tampa and I have so many people that harass me about being a Yankee fan, if we were to lose to them, it will never end. This is just awful. The Rangers need to step it up big.
GB,
I know, it doesn’t take much. Eiland said the problem wasn’t mechanical but his grip. AJ just has so many moving parts and his delivery is so right to left that he has to have exceptional timing to throw the ball where he wants to….I don’t know if that can be totally reworked at age 33 but they need to figure out some way to allow him to repeat things more consistently.
Makes you wonder if Burnett and Eiland will spend a few weeks together this winter remaking his delivery. You know that he is embarras sed and unhappy about this season.
I think they will go
Game 1 (away): Sabathia
Game 2 (away): Pettite
Game 3 (home): Hughes
Game 4 (home): Sabathia
Game 5:(home): Burnett
Game 6:(away): Pettite
Game 7:(away): Sabathia/Hughes
Though they could go:
Game 1: Sabathia
Game 2: Pettite
Game 3: Hughes
Game 4: Sabathia (3 days)
Game 5: (Pettite) (3 days)
Game 6: (Hughes (3 days)
Game 7: (Sabathia (3 days)
They technically could use a 3 man rotation by my count but would have to throw Hughes and Pettite once on short rest and Sabathia twice. I think Hughes will be the limiting factor there as I doubt they will throw him on short rest (nor should they). So we will probably see AJ in Game 5 if its neccessary, unless they choose to not throw CC in game 4.
A lot of older pitchers have reinvented themselves at that age….Mussina, even later, but, Spahn, Ryan…all come to mind. Bob Feller was another that had to change after the war because of torn back muscles, causing him to become a junk baller. Burnett’s no dummy. He might be stubborn, but, I doubt that anyone has tried to redo him after the season. He knows that he needs to fix things from here on out.
wow, Vlad, come on, I know you have long reach , but how can you chase that pitch????
AJ needs to build Eiland a room onto his house this winter….if the hitters can do that stuff with Long, why not AJ
More “flashy range” from Elvis Andrus ..goes well to his right to make a play then throws it in the stands.
“A lot of older pitchers have reinvented themselves at that age….Mussina, even later, but, Spahn, Ryan…all come to mind.”
gb7-
you forgot liva…
never mind, don’t want to raise your blood pressure
“AJ needs to build Eiland a room onto his house this winter….if the hitters can do that stuff with Long, why not AJ”
usually pitcher contracts forbid using power tools like circular saws, but in this case the yankees may encourage their use.
There goes the shutout.
Rays forcing game 5 in Tampa tuesday! Great news for the Yankees.
Bad news is that, if the Rays win they would come int othe ALCS on fire coming off 3 straight wins if they win Tuesday.

LMAO. afternoon, Randy. Good to see you around. How have things been going?
(Just so everyone knows, I haven’t changed. I’m just setting Randy up for the hammer by pretending to be nice to him.)
Yanksfan,
The Yankees would be coming in off 3 straight wins as well.
thats cold randy….maybe he just isn’t breathing out of his eyelids correctly, call Annie Savoy?
The Yankees might be wise to leave for Tampa on Tuesday and hold workouts at Steinbrenner Field to get accustomed to warm weather.
Regardless of who they play, they won’t play in less than 72 degree weather until the ALCS
moves to the Bronx.
If it’s Texas, they’d have a shorter flight from Tampa. If it’s St. Pete they just have a bus trip over Tampa Bay to get to Tropicana.

GB,
Glad you clarified. I was getting a little concerned
Looked like Pena came off the bag a little quick there.

Yeah, my mom alway taught me to be respectful of my elders….especially the really old elders like Randy, but, she had no idea that really old geezers like Randy existed.
Balfour, Benoit and Soriano are a formidable trio.
GB,
LOL. Good to see you. Hope all is well.
Some things never change. The game between the Texans and the Giants is on FOX right now. The Giants are a team that won a super bowl 3 years ago. The Texans are a team that the FOX network will see on FOX, at most, 2 times during the course of a regular season. The Giants are a team that FOX will see more often than not during the course of a regular season. And somehow, the broadcasters have made the entire game about the Texans – a team that has never made the playoffs. There is simply no excuse for it whatsoever.
So, the Rays lost both games in Tampa, and now it looks like the Rangers will lose both their home games. Meanwhile, the Yanks took both in Minnesota, before clinching in three-straight. Maybe there was something, after all, in the Yanks’ calculation that HFA is overrated. Maybe it is all about playing well, regardless of where you are.

GB,

Thank you, Fran. Great to see you here, also. Hope all is well in your house.
No idea how old Randy is, but, he did attend Fred Flintstone’s first birthday party.
Anybody think the outcome of this series will have any effect on Cliff Lee’s decision this winter? I obviously don’t think it will be a primary factor but do think that getting bounced in the first round would make it easier for him to walk away than if the Rangers went significantly deeper into the postseason. He’s made it pretty clear that he wants to be on a perennial contender.
I wouldn’t lump Phil in with Burnett and Javy in terms of mechanics.
Rays won? I’m not rooting for any particular team, but if they win game 5, they will have some pretty serious momentum. It also means their pitching turned around.

***********************************
GB,
LOL. I didn’t know that Randy mingled with celebrities.
Betsy,
Rays are up in the 7th inning. Game is still going on. It’s on TBS.
Blake, I think if the Rangers win the WS, Lee stays. I don’t know where he wants to be. The fact that he wanted to be in NY when the near trade happened doesn’t mean much as he probably just wanted out of Seattle. I think TX will go full bore for him and I don’t know how far the Yankees will go. Per reports, he’s going to ask for CC $$ – well, he’s older so for one, I would just let him go. I’m not giving him 7 years (don’t even want to give him 6).
Thanks Fran. I’m kind of rooting for the Rangers; I don’t need to see a hot Rays team.
Betsy,
Its not over yet…they are ahead though.
I think the Yankees match up better with the Rays than Texas but as long as it goes 5 games I don’t care who wins.
Gotta love Tony Siragusa – the most unprofessional of the unprofessional. He couldnt even bother to get DeMeco Ryans name correct. He called him Demarco.
Yes, Fran. Randy gets around. A very talented do-everything kind of guy. Most people aren’t aware of this but, he also designed Stonehenge. His name is engraved on the cornerstone. he didn’t help build it, though. The aliens thought he was too old for hard physical labor.
Blake, thanks………
Anyway, if it is the Rays, it will be interesting because the two teams would be coming in hot………The Yanks would have found their stride, both offensively and in terms of pitching, and the Rays would have shown tremendous character in bouncing back. Davis was pitching todaycorrect? Big game from him so far (it appears – I was out all day).
I think the Yankees can beat anyone if they play well, so matchups don’t worry me.
GB,
Wow. That Randy is an interesting (and old) guy.
Betsy and Blake,
I think I’d rather face Texas if the this series goes 5. Then the Yanks won’t have to face Lee until Game 3 in NY.
Fran, if the series goes 5 and the Rays win they wouldn’t have to face Lee period. I don’t want to see a suddenly hot Rays team, full of character after being on the brink. That would be a dangerous team.
If the Rays win today then the Yankees will have a pitching advantage on the road no matter which team they face and won’t have to worry about Lee or Price until they are back in NY.
Not a lot of difference between the Yankees facing Lee and Price. Neither one would be a stroll in the park.
Then, as good as the Texas offense is, Joyce and Pena are deadly on Yankee pitching.
Betsy,
So you’d rather the Yanks face Texas also right?
We played the Red Sox in 1999 and 2003 with them coming off 0-2 comebacks in the Division Series both times, and won. Rays offense can be shut down, it’s not very good, especially with a partially injured Longoria. And Id rather our guys not have to deal with the heat of Texas again.
Great piece today on Derek Jeter by Mike Lupica….Yeah Lupica who just loves to rag on everything that is NY Yankees……Good read though…..GB, aren’t you a little rough on Tin Cup today ????
I think the Rays would have to pitch very well to beat the Yankees in a 7 game series…whereas the Rangers can match up offensively with them a little more evenly IMO….you have to beat whoever you play though so it really doesn’t matter.

———————————————————————————————————————-
Nah!!! He’ll never read this stuff, Pat. He’s taking his nap at The Home.
Are we talking about monmentum again?
I thought we saw how much it means the past 3 games. You pitch well and get timely hits and you win in the postseason. That’s it.
I thought Murphy got all of that one. A little too high, I guess.
The G-Men played with a vengeance today as they did last Sunday night.
Fran, I don’t care who we face, but I don’t like the idea of facing a Rays team who came back from 2-0.
No wonder that didn’t go into the seats. Wind is blowing in from right field, 16 to 20 MPH.
Blake, that’s true.
Either way, the Yanks looked great against Minnesota so I feel we can beat either team.
GB, Not certain as to what you’re putting on your cereal in the morning, but clearly you have your A Game going…….Off to work off my Phillip Hughes In-n-Out victory meal………Be kind GB, we need Randy I ( The Original Tin Cup ) in the lineup for the run to # 28…..
I find it hard to believe Lupica could write anything worthy of reading; I detest him.
LGY, no doubt, but coming back from 0-2 would give the Rays a real confidence.
If the Yanks play anything like they did the past three games, I don’t think Texas or Tampa would beat them.
They might not have played flawless baseball, but it was pretty damn close.
Just hope the extra rest does the battered and bruised some good.
Is it different than playing a team that’s on the ropes after blowing a 2-0 lead and rising from the dead?
Momentum doesn’t mean jack. It’s such an overrated concept.
The starting pitcher always sets the tone each game and he only plays once every 5 days.
It looks like Yankees fans everywhere are getting their wish of no Lee or Price until game 3.
The Giants played like champs today, they just overwhelmed a good Houston team playing at home.
Pat, I’m being gentle with Randy. I figure that The home will put some benzedrine in his Ovaltine to get him through the next level. Then, I’ll tear into him.

GB, that’s a good point.
How are you doing today? How are the wonder twins?
Cons of facing Rangers:
-Cliff Lee
-explosive hitters
Cons of facing Rays:
-David Price
-familiarity
-aggressive on the basepaths
-back of bullpen is nearly impenetrable
I know Vlad, Lee, and Oliver have postseason experience, but Texas really is in uncharted territory here in the playoffs. TB doesn’t have much more experience, but the Rays made it to the WS and Maddon has playoff experience with the Angels.
I dont think Zobrist went anywhere near going around there.
GF, Yanks have played great. I guess with so much time on my hands, I have to worry about something…Well, enough of that. I’m confident that we have a team good enough to get to and win the WS. Man, I can’t believe how things have changed in a week.
5 Days, 3 Hours, amd 39 Minutes until Game 1 of the ALCS
(Note: I am guessing an 8pm start until I know an official time)
Rays and Rangers are both good teams, so either series should be good. It’s true Tampa has a very good pen. I had said weeks ago that a Rays/Yanks series could be a classic. It might be that way for Yanks/Rangers as well.
m – I would be more fearful of runners on the basepaths with the Rangers. Borbon, Hamilton, Andrus, Kinsler, etc. On the Rays, there’s only Carl Crawford. You keep Crawford off the bases and you’re in good shape.
Mel,
Good points. I would like to face Texas, but as others have stated if the Yankees pitch and hit the way they did in the ALDS they will beat either team.
Betsy, maybe you should just read the piece before your rebuttal….I prefaced my recommendation by pointing out Lupica’s recent negative attacks on The Bombers….Read the piece and then rag on him.
The Rats don’t have speedy guys, but they’re still aggressive.
Another thing us that Longiria has a quad issue and is not running well. But he’s hitting the ball hard today.
Crawford is not the only Ray that runs. Practically the whole team does. Doesn’t matter who the Yankees play. They’re better than both teams. They pitch and hit they will win.
Betsy October 10th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
GB, that’s a good point.
How are you doing today? How are the wonder
———————————————————————————————————————-
Hey, betsy. how are you today?
The twins are doing well, enjoying the game with me, but, between them and “Killer”, they’ve put a serious dent in my stash of beer, pizza and Oreo cookies…the little pigs.
What a play by Crawford.
Moreland could be a real problem by next year. He’s got some talent. Still would love to see NYYs get Murphy, though.
I forgot about Upton. Yes, the Rays are aggressive on the bases, but I wouldnt be overly concerned about them taking extra bases except for the 1st to 3rd variety. And again, the Rangers have significantly more speed and offensive firepower. Longoria is injured but hitting well today, and the few days off will help him, but he is the only legitimate weapon in that lineup aside from Crawford.
Great. The Rays and Rangers are going 5.
Geez Pat M, why so defensive? I didn’t criticize you……and I have no intention of reading him as he’s killed the Yankees for years.
Texas power vs. The Rays speed……Pick one
Thank you Rays. Now Price/Lee won’t be available to pitch until game 3. I think Texas will win and Lee will out pitch Price but atleast now the Yanks will have the advantage in games 1 and 2 and in the series.
The Rays offense is just as capable of disappearing as it is reappearing. Anyway, should be a good game Tuesday. I don’t think Price will pitch as badly as he did in Game 1. Texas will be tight after blowing a 2-0 lead.
Glad we clinched, now we can sit back and relax.
GB, start charging them for that stuff and your problem should go away.
Today was a gorgeous day in NY, so my parents and I took my youngest sisters’ kids to lunch and to this farm on Long Island where they have pony rides, pumpkin picking, etc………..
Rays WIN!
The AL division series could not have gone any better for the Yankees. Sweep and no price or lee till game 3. Perfect.
Pat, those two teams are as evenly matched as any two teams in the playoffs. Pena, Joyce and Johnson, along with Longoria, Crawford and Upton can hurt you in a hurry with power.
That will definitely be a great game Tuesday. And I bet Price bounces back in a big way. No matter who wins, the Yankees will be ready.
Betsy, I thought about that, but, I’d have to loan them the money, and like their aunts and momma, they forget about the loans.
why wouldn’t price or lee be able to pitch game 2 on short rest?
excellent , more baseball ! go Buster!
I like the way the Yankees match up with Wilson. He will be pitching game 1 if Texas advances. He throws way too many pitches and the Yankees can put some strain on that bullpen for game 2
I guess several Lohudders jumped the gun a bit when they claimed the series over after Game 2.
GB, then you need to hide your stash better. Then again, with Killer’s sense of smell, he’d find it anyway. I think you’re SOL
I would definitely rather face Tampa. Texas has a much better lineup and Wilson is better than any 2nd pitcher that Tampa has. Lee is due for a bad start but you never know.
I said the Rays had the least chance to come back. We’ll see what happens Tuesday.
Texas power or Rays speed?
I go with Yankees pitching. I may be in the minority, but I really believe it doesn’t matter who the Yanks face, it comes down to how well the Yanks’ pitchers, both starters and relievers, do.
Not to say I wouldn’t appreciate a nice, tidy, 15 or 16 inning affair Tuesday night. No….there’s a couple of off-days till, Friday, make that 20 innings, something that will really linger.
Yeah, Betsy. “Killer” can smell beer cans in the refrigerator and cookies from 3 miles away. I couldn’t live without those kids and “Killer”, but, when I’m out of cookies, beer and pizza, I think about trying it.
There’s no more heat in Texas now. Mostly in the 80′s in the day and 60′s and 50′s overnight.
Since games involving the Yankees will most likely be in prime time, the temps will be in the 70′s.
I wanted Texas to win today so that they too can have a long time off. Right now, whoever comes out of the Rays-Rangers series will have more edge because they will last play on Tuesday whereas the Yankees would have rested for nearly one week.
I think most of us have said the Yankees can beat either team.
People will point to September results against those teams, but those don’t matter now.

———————————————–
that makes you an army of one because there isn’t a baseball fan or analyst who doesn’t know that the Yankees have a big advantage no matter what happens because both teams Aces will not be able to pitch until game 3 unless one of them goes on short rest in game 2 (which which makes no sense at all).
I take TX , but whatever, bring it on.
Someone brought this up earlier about Gardner possibly winning the Gold Glove in LF.
Does Gardner have a good chance to get a Gold Glove or will they give it to Crawford based on reputation?
What do you guys think?
Pitching Price or Lee on short rest is a huge gamble because neither has ever done it.
Pitching is one thing but the Yankee hitters would have sat for nearly a week. I’m sorry batting practice cannot substitute for in-game, live pitching.
When you rest too long, you lose timing.
I hope I’m wrong but when Friday comes around, it won’t matter who they will face. The Yankee bats will be flat.
Again, I hope I’m wrong.
The Yankees are following last year’s blueprint. Good pitching, good defense, and hopefully timely hitting.
For a team this old, some rest will be good.
It’ll also be hard for TB to ride their momentum when they’ll have a few days between game 5 and game 1.
Some rest is 2-3 days, not 6 days. With that much time off you lose timing, sharpness.
I’m sure if the Yankees feel it’s a problem, they can have simulated games with minor non ALCS roster pitchers.
have Burnett and Javy start a 6 inning intra squad game. That way the hitters confidence will be sky high going to ALCS.

you’re just mad because we wouldn’t let you join our stonehenge country club because every time you tried to hit the golf ball you knocked down one of our stones.

not only are you a troll, you are a moron. The Phillies had a week off last year between the NLCS and WS and won the first game and scored 6 runs. There is no correlation between time off and hitting efficiency, the Yankees will prepare well and be ready on Friday like the professionals they are.
Take a hike, troll.
