They spit the bit . Just like they did for the last month. The biggest issue going forward is that they still have large contracts for AROID , Tex ,Ellsberry ,CC and a few other players who no one will want in a trade. They may have to suck it up another year. I still think it was smart of the organization to hold on to their prospects .

Sorry to see the Yanks lose. Was rooting for them. My father-in-law was a big Yankees fan. We all rooted for "Papa's" team.

Yeah long-term contracts for aging pros is an albatross around the neck.

Maybe the Yankees can hire the former Angels GM to find ways:)

If so that is Jessica Mendoza and yes she did play the game both college and professional fastpitch softball... (Just because the ball is slightly larger doesn't mean you don't know how to play the game)!!

Yes but an underhand throw!

ESPN filled her with a bunch of stats and "no kidding comments." I don't know how many times she said "Keutchel will come in low with his slider on RH batters." No kidding he was doing it all night.

Another bright one was "It seems the Yankees are having problems hitting his slider." Thank you very much Jessica, I think we know that.

The experienced male announcers were no better. They were reading off a script as well since they really don't know these teams and don't see them that often. Maybe the Yankees as they are on national TV quite often.

But it was annoying to listen to. You had the two male announcers calling the game and then at times interrupting them Jessica comes on and speaks with authority on 4 seam fastballs. Please.

LOL, not one of them expect the Rangers to win the ALDS. So many of them predicted the Yankees to win the WC.

I did see one 'expert' put the Mets as winning it all:) Hey you never know.

Still holding on to that hope it will be a Rangers-Mets WS:)

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything out of SOSO yet, I thought the Jays was his team?

Nope. Just wanted to see Tulo to get a shot at a World Series ring. I am kind of indifferent on baseball teams excpet for one or two that I absolutely dislike and wish bad things (the ex. Brooklyn Dodgre being #1 on that list). I guess if I had favorite teams in the hunt this year it would include St. Loiuis (soley for Matt Holiday's). See a theme here?

Yes but an underhand throw!

In girls fast pitch the mound is 43 feet from home plate and pitches top out at around 70 MPH, which is the equivalent of a 98 MPH "heeter" in baseball...

On top of that they throw knuckleballs and screwballs which you rarely see in baseball anymore, in fact the only pitcher I know that throws a "screwgy" is Yu Darvish!!!

How many people do you know that can sit in front of the TV and call what pitches were thrown?? Not many...

Most fans are casual fans and only know if the pitch was "really, really, really fast" or was slower and dropped in the dirt which to them means "that pitcher isn't very good he keeps throwing the ball into the ground"... LOL... :)

When it first started out I figured they were gonna blow off the Rangers totally, although they did try pretty hard. They weren't totally stupid cause they did bring up Gallardo (a RHer) and his record against the Jays. But they blew off the LHers which I think is a mistake, and ignored the other RHers for the Rangers. Which means they don't think anybody can shut down the Jays when the opposite is true...

Now when it came to the Astros/Royals they seemed to understand if you keep the ball in the park against Houston you can beat them fairly easily...

I finally heard one of the "experts" pick the Rangers as having a good chance to upset the "unbeatable" Blue Jays and that was Kevin Millar. He said he thought the Rangers matched up well with the Jays and stood a good chance of winning the series.

So many of them predicted the Yankees to win the WC.

Old habits die hard they are used to the Yankees winning and didn't see the reality of the situation they were a tired, injured team who backed into the playoffs with a bad record down the stretch. They also thought the young team Astros should have known who their elders/betters were and folded like a cheap house of cards.

Most of the so called experts on baseball only take into consideration certain stats, not all of them, and that's why most of them are wrong most of the time. But as you well know "Every dog has his day"...

The Yankees are a big market team and can afford to release or tell a few players to retire and suck up the money loss. Most other teams don't have that luxury and have to choose players and contracts very wisely...

Yeah and we have a couple of those contracts that could really be a hindrance before it's over with, but so far so good... Prince, Hamels and Choo contracts all expire in 20 and 21, Choo will be 38 or 39 by then...

Is it because the teams that lost had "ever so slightly" better records than the team that won?? This only means they had one or 2 bad breaks less than the teams they lost to...

nah , this is better . It gives great incentives to win divisions. WC teams do not earn extra consideration.

Hal Steinbrenner is not his old man . He has put the team on a budget . They will be a better team in the long run for that . All the Yank fans knew that this year and next will be a retooling year similar to what they did in the eary 1990s under Gene Michaels . For the Yanks to even make the WC game was an unexpected bonus.

Now 2-1 Rangers. Gallardo pitched well out of a jam. Apparently the run the Jays scored was on a soft ground ball Elvis and Alberto could not get to. Such is baseball.

Gallardo through 4 full and only 59 pitches. Not bad work considering his other outings lately.

Diekman does the 7th in 6 pitches so he'll probably do the 8th now. First pitch was 99 MPH, my guess his adrenaline level is up there, 6 outs to go!!!

If all goes to plan, we should see Dyson come in to face the top of the order.
