    I really like Cliff Lee and the Rangers tonight especially after getting the win on Saturday.

      Fact that Rangers won Game 2 actually makes YANKEES great bets as dogs tonight. Yanks don;t want to give Texas any hope of winning series.

        Lee's streak will end sooner or later, and it will probably happen in this series. Best of luck

                The Rangers aren't scared of anyone or anywhere, Cliff will get it done.

                  If the Giants were able to rough up Halladay on the weekend then the Yankees should have no problem doing the same to Cliff Lee. They know that the series is hanging in the balance on their ability to do so now.

                    I like the rangers tonight as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the rangers win 2 of 3 in new york.

                      Streaks break when their careers break. No way it will happen tonight.

                        The Rangers will not win this series, so no way they take two of three in the Bronx.

                          Everybody is so concerned with Lee's streak, how about fact that Pettitte is one of best post-season pitchers in baseball history?

                          This is a game where whoever the underdog was would be a good play, although I am glad its the Yankees.

                              You are not alone, tx.

                              The Yankees had their chance to end this series in Gm 2 and didn't get it done. Now they're in big trouble.

                              Yanks must not only face Lee tonight - but will have to see Wilson again. If they don't beat one of them the best they can do is try again to beat Lee in a Gm 7 at Arlington.

                              Yeah - Pettitte is one of the greatest post season pitchers of all time - so is Whitey Ford - but I don't think the Yankees would want to put Whitey out there tonight vs Cliff Lee.

                                Terrible analogy because Pettitte already has an excellent playoff start THIS year.

                                I sense an anti-Yankee bias from your posts?

                                  Time to back to earth for Pettite. His numbers should change somehow.

                                    Big trouble? They still have the home field advantage they stole in Game 1, not that it will matter much because they are simply the much better team. In fact, it is the Yankees that could effectively end the series if they win today, especially if Lee would not be available until a possible Game 7.

                                      He is a proven commodity, hasn't lost a post-season game since 2003, and he has had a LOT of starts since then. Why should he suddenly come "back to earth" after 19 post-season wins?

                                        Everyone is talking about Lee, more motivation for the yanks. Pettitte is the best big game pitcher of the modern playoff era bar none. Everytime the yanks have been on the ropes in the past they put out Pettitte on the mound and he got the job done and i would expect no different tonight. Yanks will be aggressive with Lee tonight.

                                          Riding with Lee until he loses, learned my lesson with the Rays in game 5 of the ALDS.

                                            Yeah I really don't see how the Yankees win this one. I mean Lee might give up a run or two but Andy gives up a minimum of 3 the way the Rangers are swinging.

                                              No anti-Yankee bias whatsoever. It's the other way around. The public is ga-ga about them - as usual.

                                              Lee is the favorite tonight for a reason. The Yanks are lucky they are not down 0-2 right now.

                                              They are in big trouble because - even after getting Gm 1 on the miracle inning culminating with Marcus Thames' shattered bat game winner - they couldn't close it out against a Colby Lewis and a club that had just been psychologically devastated.

                                              They are in big trouble because they face tonight a guy that is a little better than Colby Lewis - and a club that knows now they can beat them.

                                                    Yanks TT. LB is right, Yanks will be aggressive which will work since Lee won't want to fall behind against this Yankee lineup.

                                                      Yanks vs LH Starters

                                                      Is not the fact that the Yanks went 3-9 vs LH starters in the month of September some cause for concern among tonight's Yankee backers here?

                                                      Yes - they have 2 wins over Twins LHers in the playoffs - plus the Wilson game - but overall on the year they were only 31-27 (.534) vs the average big league lefty.

They still have the home field advantage they stole in Game 1, not that it will matter much because they are simply the much better team. In fact, it is the Yankees that could effectively end the series if they win today, especially if Lee would not be available until a possible Game 7.
                                                        u think yankee's having home field advantage affect the rangers. how many did they win in TB?

                                                          TB is not NY. Playing a night playoff game in New York is a completely different ball of wax.
