I look forward to a potential American League Playoff Series battle with the Angels exactly the same way I anticipate becoming 40 and having my wife inform me I need a completely-invasive prostate exam.
To make clear, I dread the future worse than Chris Russo.
The Yankees defeated the Angels at their own specialty on Monday in New York, producing the lead run thanks to the substantially effective Brett Gardner and a helping hand from Chone Figgins, who was more skittish at 3rd than Tom Brady in the pocket against the Bills.
The final tally was 5-3, allowing New York to escalate its lead over the Angels of California to 6 games in the battle for home field advantage in the postseason. It was a key win for the Yankees, although the context of the face-off was maybe even more meaningful.
A playoff meeting between these two organizations would be a massacre.
I recognize, there's that entire subject of the divisional series to be settled. The Yankees will need to get by Detroit and LA and must figure out a way to outdo the Red Sox, a team that always appears to bury them. But in a year where the Yankees have secured the designated title as "The Team To Beat", it is not viable to not think about the Angels bigger picture.
The Angels' roster is filled with athletes that frighten me. Figgins, Torii Hunter, Kendry Morales, and that's right, Bobby Abreu, comprise the core of a talented roster that rivals the strength of the Yankees' lineup.
Predict a series between these two organizations to go to seven games or six at worst. Predict a series where a 3-run margin of victory is deemed a blowout.
What I am trying to say is, expect a series where you will need to imbibe plenty of fluids...and I do not mean water. - 30542
