The Yanks
Today's Matchup: Bartolo Colon (3-1, 2.60) vs. Carl Pavano (1-2, 2.86)
This is the first matchup between these teams this year. The Angels always play the Yankees well, including being 43-44 vs. the Yankees since 1996 (the Yankees current playoff run), 91-92 since 1988, and were the only team to win the season series against the Yanks in their 114 win 1998 season. Until last year, they were also the only AL team to beat the Yankees in a playoff series since 1997. Pavano was the main pitcher every team wanted in the offseason and this will be only his second appearance, the first of which occurred during interleague play in 2003. The Yankees have struggled out of the gate so far, especially as far as pitching has been concerned and Colon appears to be hitting his stride (although the jury is still out on him as he looked good last April, too, before collapsing as a pitcher). Should be a low scoring game and could come down to 1-2 innings of bullpen work.
RICHARD (5:51 PDT): Well. On the bright side, me picking A-Rod for AL MVP is looking like a good decision...
RICHARD (7:30 PDT): Let us never speak of this again.
