Yanks up, 2-0
New York Yankees Fan Blog —
Yanks up, 2-0 By Dave Nekoukar October 18, 2009, 1:10AM ALCS_Game2_HairstonScores14thInning.jpg REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton What a game... what a game . A 13-inning battle that the Yankees somehow managed to grab away from the Angels. This was a classic game that had a little bit of everything. Some initial thoughts at the conclusion of this one: The 2009 postseason version of A-Rod continues to impress. There won't be many bigger homeruns than that one in the 11th to tie it. Sure, he popped up in the 12th, but the Yanks lose this one without that HR. Jerry Hairston certainly made the most of his first postseason at bat. Huge base hit, topped off with great baserunning ...
A-Rod 2.0 Leads Yankees Through ALCS
Sports articles at Blogcritics —
Alex Rodriguez Every baseball fan that has followed the 2009 postseason especially the path of the Yankees knows that one of the major story lines underpinning New York's push to a 27th World Series title has been A-Rod's road to redemption. And thus far, that story has been a positive one, with Alex morphing into a Reggie Jackson facsimile, batting .455 with two home runs and six RBIs against the Twins in the ALDS. Most importantly they were clutch hits. First A-Rod led the Yanks to a romp of the Twins in Game 1 ...

A Look at the Playoff Roster
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/5/2009 — There has been much debate lately over who will make the postseason roster, but with Joba's performance yesterday I think it's become much more clear. They will probably take three catchers, 10 pitchers, and both of the speedsters (Guzman and Gardner). So with that here's my prediction. It's not ...
