    Back of the Yankees pen makes them the team to beat

    7th-Soriano
    8th-Robertson
    9th-Mo

    Back to a 6 inning game like the dynasty years of the late 90s. They are without a doubt the class of the AL and probably all of baseball. Another canyon of heroes parade this year.

    yup. First time in a long time the Yankees have had a solid pen. I'm a homer, but Yankees looking like a title team(there always contending for a title) more so than the average year for this reason.

    Tigers or the Red Sox will take down the Yanks in the Playoffs.

    yea cause major leaguers cant catch up to 95 with movement

    bard sucks. will get lit up when the playoff lights come on. papelbon is also a shell of what he used to be. he is beatable now. only the great rivera stands the test of time. 14+ years and as good as ever

    Not to mention that the phills pen have blown 1 save all year past the 8th inning, and ONLY 3 blown by the entire bullpen in all innings of relief (the guys who blew two of the three arent even with the team any more). The best pen in the modern era has 7 blown, this phills team is on pace to crush that..

    All this without even mentioning the starting pitching staff!

    So if they can hit 95 and movement then what's special about your guys? Are they magic?

    whats special. lets see

    the guy that slams the door is not only the greatest reliever in the history of the game. but is a top 5 pitcher of all time. and a top 15 player of all time.

    I would as well with the braves top two/three and the yanks three.. but you cant argue that the phills have been absolutely shut down this year and that bastardo might be the best closer in the league this season stats wise

    This phills pen is making history this year... they dont blow games

    That pen along with the starting pitching and dangerous lineup could make them one of the best NL teams ever.

    Yes I am a homer, but espn feels the same way... saw the article on the front page tonight


    Regardless of stats though, unless they win a WS, it will all be pointless..
