How many times have the Yankees seen it since the second half of the season — A-Rod crushing a middle-of-the-plate fastball as if it was late-night batting practice. His home run was more like a missile, a line drive that cleared the wall in right field, tying the game at 3-3. The Angels didn't know it at the time, but they'd taken their last breath.
if the yanks don't win tonight, they'd lose CC until game 3 of the series.
of course the goal is to get there first, and then worry about the starters later...
In the end, all the fundamentals that Soscia tried to instill in his Angels went out the window. Really. The Little League World champs would have had a shot.
when i saw vlad standing halfway between 1st & 2nd, staring like a deer caught in headlights as swisher ran in to catch the ball,
i knew they didn't have a chance...
