The Yankees will get clipped in the AL playoffs - that's my prediction and I'm sticking to it.

Ballsy considering they'll be playing the Rangers. The boys from Texas don't have a particularly strong record when it comes to October...

You are right, they don't, but past history goes out the window once the games start. It'll be a whole new ballgame. I like the Rangers chances.
If Yankees don't get their act together, they'll be playing the Twins anyway.

Post All-Star break
Kinsler - .254/.329/.408
M.Young - .258/.302/.394
Andrus - .248/.318/.274
B.Molina - .215/.260/.297
Cantu - .203/.263/.270
Moreland - .242/.342/.395
Couple that with broken ribs for Hamilton and that's a lot of pressure on the starters. Seeing that this is the maiden post-season voyage for Lewis and Wilson....advantage Empire.
They can do it@!!

I should have qualified my statement at the time, that it was predicated on the Yankees playing the Rangers. It was not meant to apply to the Twins/Yankees series. I truly didn't believe the Yankees would choke like they did, and not win their own division. So, I would like to revise my statement to read as follows:
Yankees are going to get knocked out in the ALCS in 6 games.

Let there be some justice in the world!
The Twins will need to score about eight runs per game to win the series, but I'm sayin' there is a chance.
Twins will score less than 2 runs against Sabathia in Game 1. Mauer will bat under .200 for the series and 0-for with RISP. Gardenhire will go through about 3 or 4 crates of adult diapers. I hope we can see Thome crush a homer at Target Field- that will make me happy.
Oh, well, if the Rangers don't make it, and if the Phillies make it to the WS, it will be much more satisying to kick the Yankees arse anyway.

Good call...you didn't happen to also call the Phillies in 7 games versus the Giants did ya?

Neither will the Phillies. They will lose at home in their typical losing record fashion.

You could turn out to be right, but the Phillies this season had the best record in MLB.
About the "most losses" - yes they do but that is also a testament to their longevity in one city, unlike some other teams which have moved around to different cities over the course of their team history.
