So, no, I hadn't even considered the ALCS, because you've already convinced me that winning the ALDS will be too difficult:
"But now the batting order has organized around Martinez, and David Ortiz, after a bad start that was almost Biblical, still has a chance to finish with 30 home runs and 100 RBI. The Yankees are first in the league in hitting. But the Red Sox happen to be third. They are also third in pitching. The Yankees are sixth."
I like that: Sixth in "pitching."
As if there was a measurement called "pitching," and the Yankees ranked sixth.
"A month ago, it was the Red Sox who had more questions about pitching, and not just with their starters. Now the Yankees don't even know who pitches Game 2 of the division series. CC Sabathia may win the Cy Young - although Mo should - but the last time he had a big playoff game to pitch in the American League, Game 5 of the 2007 ALCS against the Red Sox, the Indians up three games to one, a chance to pitch the Indians into the World Series, the Red Sox took him apart"
1) Greinke should win the Cy Young.2) It was you, not us, who predicted the end of Mariano's career in April. Remember the Jason Bay HR?
3) I totally forgot about Game 5 of the 2007 ALCS. How could I forget about Game 5 of the 2007 ALCS? Now I'm totally worried.
So, Lupica has now hyped up the Tigers, the Angels, and the Red Sox.
He forgot about Mauer and the Twins. I know there is a good chance that the Twins won't even make the playoffs, but Lupica should cover all his bases and scare Yankee fans as much as possible.
