New York Yankees Win in ALCS Game 2 Locks Up Another »
The look on Nolan Ryan's face toward the end of the top half of the eight inning said it all. What was happening was shocking, unfathomable and frustrating. Couldn't any pitcher get a gosh darn out? The occurrences of that inning were a reminder to the Texas Rangers, their fans and their gregarious owner and erstwhile pitcher of just what they [...]
Yankees Take Game 1 Of ALCS: Did They Just Take the »
A gutsy, heads-up play by Brett Gardner set up a stunning five run eighth inning for the New York Yankees, who came back from four runs down to beat the Texas Rangers, 6-5, and take Game 1 of the ALCS last night in Arlington.

New York Yankees Comeback Reveals Rangers Manager Ron »
I am 100 percent confident that C.J. Wilson does NOT give up five runs in the eighth inning if Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington allowed Wilson to stay in the game. Wilson ended up allowing two runs on two hits that inning, and was pulled in favor of Darren Oliver following a Derek Jeter RBI double. But the Yankees would probably have only [...]

CC Sabathia was chased by the Texas Rangers after pitching only four innings, his shortest outing of the year.

ALCS Game 1: Yankees Rally Late To Win »
The Yankees lead the majors in come-from-behind wins this season, so it is natural that they rely on them in the postseason as well. In the ALDS they came from behind twice to beat the Twins, and last night they came back from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Rangers 6-5 while taking Game 1 of the ALCS.
