Can the yanks win it all?

[lakerboy]

I doubt it but this team is underrated. Everyone is talking about the sox/phils/brewers. The yanks have a deadly lineup/ the best bullpen in bases( i dont care what anyone says it is the best )and some big time vets. They also have more starting pitching depth.

Also say what you want about Girardi he has pressed all the right buttons so far.

[WvGambler]

Starting pitching is too poor. Counting on Colon, Burnett and Garcia when he gets healthy? C'Mon LB you know that's not going to work. The Phil's and sox have great veteran lineups too with much better pitching.

[pavyracer]

What deadly lineup are you talking about? They will be serving meatballs in the playoffs with that awful pitching.

[rsnnh12]

God I hope not

[jjgold]

No pitching
cannot hit good pitchers

No game yanks are ever out of. The AL isnt that good. Yanks are better than any al team and after that anything can happen in a 7 game series.

Which team(s) hit good pitchers?

[onlooker]

Certainly they can win it, but I don't think they will.

[Naz18]

Of course they can, they just have to be "hot" during the playoffs...

[Br0nxer]

Of course they can.

They are better than the red sox.

Another canyon of heroes parade this year.

[vyomguy]

yanks have a bad starting lineup...that lineup wont win you world series.

I like texas/sox and braves/phillies to make the world series.

brewers/yankees/giants/tigers wont do anything in playoffs.

[lakerboy]

This yanks team is really under the media radar. The phils are large faves ( and rightly so) but the yanks are only 5 games behind the phils and the yanks have no starting pitching right? Bullpens win in the playoffs and the yanks have a shutdown 7th/8th/9th duo. CC always pitches 3 games in a 7 game series and that should be enough to give them a good shot at it. The only guy on the phils they should worry about is Lee.

texas has a good bullpen too now with the recent trades. They are a much better team than yankees. Phils/Braves will beat yanks in 5 games easily. They have the bats and the pitchers.

Yankees are never under the radar with 9 million people living in the NY city. They are the cowboys of MLB.

papelbon is a joke.


who plays who in playoffs? who does wild card play?

[Br0nxer]

Texas much better than the yanks. lmao. Yankees have been wiping the floor with the rangers for the last 15 years minis last year. They got lucky. I foresee another 15 of wiping the floor with the rangers.

[lakerboy]

Ya...Doc is a scrub

small playoff track record. never pitched a playoff game in bronx with pressure- totally different animal. lee is the man. hamels is even better than doc. watch in the playoffs hamels will do better.

[biggamer3]

It all comes down to COlon or Freddy, no chance Yanks can let AJ or Hughes in playoffs

[t-wizzle]

Yanks have a solid lineup top to bottom.

Who would you put in the rotation behind Sabathia? By the way, what has Sabathia ever done in the playoffs other than '09? He was great that year but has been subpar in every other postseason.

he has a 9-4 playoff record.

[t-wizzle]

he has a 9-4 playoff record.

And a 4.66 ERA.

[lakerboy]

And a 4.66 ERA.

so what bro- the wins count. 9-4 is 9-4.


cc didnt lose last year did he? he is horse and with yanks bullpen he needs to pitch 6 innings.


i know you as a phils fan feel good this year dont you?

[Naz18]

The Yankees have the 3rd best Team ERA in the American League.....they can pitch, quit looking at names and look at the numbers.

Gardner bailed him out last year Game 1 at Texas when he got that inning started. Same could be said for Game 1 against the Twins when he put them in a hole.

As a phils fan i never feel good ... Phillies bullpen will hurt them. That's why they have been holding back their Big Three - they're gonna need them to go as far as they can in October.

[MoneyLineDawg]

They have good enough starting pitching along with the best offense and bullpen in the league....not to mention, obviously a ton of experience

Ivan Nova has been a damn good pitcher for a while now and Colon/Garcia/Hughes are good enough to hold the fort for one or two games in a series, and CC the horse of course

Very annoying to hear all the haters just say, "Nope, horrible starting pitching".....way too short-sighted and not even accurate

Don't see why they can't.......They have just as good a chance as any IMO

[lakerboy]

funny how the greek wont offer odds on the dbacks to win the world series but will on the giants at +2250 leaving us to take any other team at +1015. dbacks are dangerous

[Mikail]

just noticed this thread and figured I'd weigh in. Can the Yanks win it all this year? I'm inclined to say it's possible but unlikely. Of course the Phillies are the favorites by far but I don't like a few trends I've come across about the Phillies and teams who are #1 during the regulars season but I digress as this is about the Yankees. I would probably be willing to put a small future on them right now but I like the Red Sox chances better.

not for nothing but this is dumb as shlt

say lee and hamels can pitch well, fine. lee's dominated the yankees in the playoffs and hamels is nlcs and ws mvp. but lets not act like they're better pitchers than doc. and unless fenway crumbles and the sox are reaching to find an alternative he won't be pitching in the bronx.

sox own mo in the playoffs and everyone knows it
