No offense, but Texas isn't scared of the yankees, they cleared that hurdle with ease last year.. I think the rangers and yanks are a hell of a lot closer than Yall are making it out to be. I agree on paper the yanks have the edge, but baseball isnt played with pencils, and the rangers do the little stuff a hell of a lot better than the yankees
we both said rangers are good...but this isnt 2010 and its not 2009
yankees have whooped on the rangers this year, go look at the game summaries... yankees knocked around the rangers pitching and i am telling you rangers are 2nd best team in the AL i think they are top 3 in all of baseball
what do you mean the little things? baserunning, yanks do it a lot better than the past, not great but gardner, nunez, jeter, granderson, martin all play little ball as well as can hit yanks run today was little ball run

The rangers play small ball as well as anybody, and much better than the yankees on the rare occasion Girardi will play small ball. Rangers go first to 3rd better than most, they hold runners well besides CJ....ill agree with them being second best, just cause the division the rangers are in, but as the yanks found out last year, its not the old rangers anymore. And Washington is a better mgr than Girardi, I used to like Girardi but that guy has blown me so many games its not even funny....yanks have wooped on the rangers early in the year, that does nothing for them in playoffs. BTW, I was at the ranger Yankee game when nova pitched his ass off. Like I said, it all boils down to who is playing better at the time.....if it doesn't then congratulations, you should be getting rich on your Yankee winning American League real soon
YOU Face NYY LINEUP, BOSTON LINEUP, TB LINEUP, TORONTO LINEUP 18 TIMEDS a yr. vs facing lowley SEA LINEUP-ROFLMAO, OAK LINEUP, ROFLMAO, so you get LAA=POOR HITTING look at them recently. COMMON SENSE, your team ERA should be higher in AL EAST with the run scoring machines in NYY, BOS, TOR and TB is solid. NYY ERA is better in pen, SP I have to look.
ANYBODY who says Tex pitching is better doesn't UNDERSTAND THE BIG PICTURE AND BASEBALL in its true form.I'd l0ve to see how many games CC wins in AL WEST, 25 ,26, 27??, ERA for SP and pen??, MUCH BETTER than it is right now, WHICH IS AMONG THE ELITE IN MLB right now.
You can't compare AL VS NL with DH and other factors,but AL WINS INTER LEAGUE PLAY, SO THERE YOU GO!!
I can't type well, but I'll discuss baseball all night long if you have a real valid point and not utter nonsense

and FWIW, rangers defense is better in all positions except, 1b, 2b, catcher ill say is even cause I don't know much about Martin D.
Hamilton is best CF in baseball which is where he will be in playoffs, Cruz wins over swisher because Cruz ARM is as good as anybody's in baseball,ill call Gardner and the rangers trio of extra outfield a wash. just my opinion here, don't get your panties in a wad. if I get proved wrong on the field, ill admit it, but don't tell me what their stats and history says

martin is one of the best defensive catchers in the game... 3 gold gloves in the NL when he played on dodgers
hamilton better CF than granderson? ehh thats close, sure i guess ill give that to u..cruz over swish? i guess so....gardner is best LF defensively in baseball and every single war and fan graphs chart shows he is
tex is one of the best 1b fielding in AL, he and agonz are the two best
cano is by far the best defensive 2b in the game
jeter does not make errors, but andrus is still the better SS
arod is a great 3B but beltre is better defensively
Like I said, I dont know much about Martin d, I knw he can hit though. It'll be an entertaining AL SERIES between these 3 teams for sure. And like I said, I have nothing against the yankees players. My fav yankees are Arod, posada, granderson, cc, swisher in that order. So should be fun if they meet up
I wonder what the h2h record of AL EAST VS AL WEST is in 2011?, anybody care to find out?
I'v not mentioned Tex lineup, just discussing PITCHING. You se Holland get lit up, Harrison also, and NOBODY FEARS OGANDO dead arm?, Phil had issue late in 2010 and might have been reason for issues early this yr. He did dominate Twins though in playoffs ly. CJ Wlson is only proven pitcher on that staff for full yr and playoffs who can dominate. NYY pitchers now in good form excpet Garcia with finger blister,but it will mend. Colon may not pitch again for NYY,but he's only needed for 2011, yes 2011,so both him and FG have BEEN MORE THAN WHAT NYY BRASS COULD'VE DREAMED OF.

T-Cane - When are you going to post some winners? Like teams that outscore other teams, and when we play them, we get paid. Or are you really Ann Landers in drag? Have you ever thought of doing online comedy? Cause you are doing a good job trying. By the way, this is a sports forum, not a gossip column. Try to give people some winners if you have the time to stop jeoulously bashing others. You really need help! But you won't find it in my threads. All I have are accurate observations on sports and winners! Try them, you just might learn something.
You should have been a politician. when you can't address the issues or answer the tough questions truthfully, you change the topic. How convenient. Lst time I checked, the oject of gambling is to win, no matter what you take or lay. Of course that takes knowledge and just as important, a nice bankroill. Since when are cappers judged on "how they win?" I have NEVER heard of anyone ever critisize someone for the way they win. lol
