uhm, I am not rooting for the Rays. I don't think that the Rangers can beat TB but I will be rooting for the Rangers.

holy crap the Rangers are pulling a Mav's. Going up 2-1 in the 7th then blowing that game and then game four. I don't think that they will be able to win game five.

Haha this weekend was a very good one for me! The Rangers are on the ropes heading back to TB, and the Kings won their opener against @# )$&)@#*($ Vancouver!!!

What can be better than that?

Dallas Cowboys lost with all the other NFC East teams winning... Cleveland and Cincinnati lost with Pittsburgh on bye week (if only Baltimore could have lost). Arkansas comes to Dallas and beats TAMU.

And the best news of the weekend: My boy, this is his third year of pee-wee football, was put in at fullback in his game Saturday and scored his first rushing TD. He has been and is the anchor and captain of our offensive and defensive lines. We have secured our conference championship going into the playoffs, with one more reg. season game to go, and this was a reward for him.

Wow! Rangers vs Yankees for the American League Championship. Cliff Lee was amazing.

Let's break this down...
Rangers Rotation:
C.J. Wilson (L)
Colby Lewis
Cliff Lee (L)
Tommy Hunter
Closer: Neftali Perez

Yankees Rotation:
CC Sabathia (L)
Andy Pettitte (L)
Phil Hughes
A.J. Burnett
Closer: Mariano Rivera

Yankees have the definite advantage in closer. The Rangers rotation seems a bit stronger. The key match up will be Wilson v Sabathia in game one. If the Rangers pull out that one it will make things that much more difficult for the Yankees with Cliff Lee set to go game three.

Lineup wise, For Texas:
Elvis Andrus - SS
Michael Young - 3B
Josh Hamilton - CF
Vlad Guerrero - DH
Nelson Cruz - LF
Ian Kinsler - 2B
Jeff Francoeur/David Murphy - RF
Bengie Molina - C
Mitch Moreland/Jorge Cantu - 1B

New York:
Derek Jeter - SS
Nick Swisher - RF
Mark Teixeira - 1B
Alex Rodriguez - 3B
Robinson Cano - 2B
Jorge Posada - C
Marcus Thames/Lance Berkman - DH
Curtis Granderson - CF
Brett Gardner - LF

Yanks have ton of post season experience and there are no easy outs up and down the roster. Robinson Cano is a dangerous hitter and Brett Gardner is a pest to all pitching staffs.

If Josh cannot get feeling better (broken ribs) the Rangers will face a very difficult task in upsetting the Yankees. Vlad had a bounce-back season and Nelson Cruz was a top hitter, when healthy. The bottom of the Rangers lineup can disappear and when they do so do the Rangers chances of winning.

My projection - Yankees win 4 - 2
