October 6, 200521 yr Have fun dewd. I went to Game 4 of the Division in 2003. It was probably the best Fish game I've been to with all the fans and the exciting finish.

October 6, 200521 yr Have fun! I bet that place is going to be electric. Despite being a big Yankee fan, I've never been to Yankee Stadium. I did see them play in person in Game 3 of the 2003 WS series... people must have thought I was nuts because I was applauding for both teams! I really need to go before the new one is built...

October 7, 200521 yr http://www.latimes.com/services/site/premi...tered.intercept ANGEL REPORT Byrd's Slow to Plate, but Not on Uptake By Mike DiGiovanna Times Staff Writer October 7, 2005 NEW YORK ? Yankee left-hander Randy Johnson's fastball still hits 98 mph, he has a knee-buckling slider, and his 6-foot-10 frame and piercing glare give him an intimidating mound presence. Angel right-hander Paul Byrd's fastball rarely touches 90 mph, his breaking pitches tickle rather than torch the corners, and with his old-school delivery and 6-foot-1 frame, he's about as intimidating as a slow-pitch softball hurler. So Byrd had to chuckle when he was asked at a Yankee Stadium news conference Thursday to compare his style to Johnson's. "That's like comparing Figgy and Bengie running, isn't it?" Byrd said, referring to speedy leadoff batter Chone Figgins and heavy-legged catcher Bengie Molina. "Is that bad to say? "It's the Big Diesel Freight Train vs. the Little Engine That Could. I'm just a guy who is not going to overpower you. I'm going to change speeds, I'm going to work corners and try to keep you off-balance?. It will be as contrasting as styles could possibly be in my mind." Byrd held the Yankees to three runs and nine hits in seven innings of a no-decision on July 30. The key to pitching against the Yankees, he said, "is you don't let up on anybody and think, 'Hey, I have a break, I'm facing the eighth hitter.' That doesn't happen with this lineup." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Figgins will move from third base to center field, displacing the left-handed Steve Finley, and Robb Quinlan is expected to start at third base, but that's about the only lineup concession Angel Manager Mike Scioscia plans to make against Johnson. In a July 31 game in Yankee Stadium, Scioscia started Jose Molina at first base and Bengie Molina behind the plate, and both hit home runs against Johnson. But Scioscia said he would not consider using both Molinas, at catcher and designated hitter, and starting Juan Rivera in left field over the left-handed Garret Anderson. And first baseman Darin Erstad and second baseman Adam Kennedy, who both bat left-handed, will most likely start. "We have to really keep our defensive continuity, especially the guys on the right side of the infield," Scioscia said. "Kennedy and Erstad might be the best right side of the infield in our league, and it's going to be important to keep them out there, especially with Paul pitching." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's forecast in New York calls for showers, increasing in intensity this evening, so there is a chance the game could be rained out. If Game 3 is pushed back to Saturday, Scioscia said Byrd would still start, but if Game 4 gets pushed to Sunday, Scioscia said he would consider bringing Game 1 starter Bartolo Colon back on regular rest. "The only thing, and I know Mike Scioscia feels the same way, is you certainly don't want to start a pitcher and have one of those one-[inning]-and-off games where you're going to wind up losing a starter," Yankee Manager Joe Torre said. "That would probably be the worst scenario for our club at this point, if we had one of those rain-stop-rain situations [tonight]."
October 7, 200521 yr I just heard on a news break that New York is under heightened alert for terrorist activity. Totally overreacting to the Rally Monkey. So what if he climbs The Empire State Building. :jackass :jackass
October 8, 200521 yr After I put the Rally Monkey's photo back up, the Angels rallied from down 6-5 to win...... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Saturday, October 8 Yankee Stadium | 1:00 PM PT Jarrod Washburn, LHP (0-0, -.--) Angels @ Shawn Chacon, RHP (0-0, -.--) Yankees Scouting Report: Washburn has been bothered by tendinitis in his left forearm for most of the second half but has put that behind him to take the ball in the fourth game, if necessary. Washburn last pitched in Texas on Saturday and threw just 21 pitches over two scoreless innings. The left-hander was 6-2 on the road, where he has been far more successful in his career than at home. At Yankee Stadium this season, Washburn allowed a run over 7 2/3 innings to pick up a win. Chacon has been nothing short of brilliant since being acquired by the Yankees in late-July, as the right-hander went 7-3 with a 2.76 ERA in 13 games, 12 of them starts. Although the 28-year-old has never pitched in a postseason game, each of his outings over the past month have had playoff-type implications, so he has certainly experienced pressure. Chacon went 3-0 with a 0.39 ERA, allowing one run in 22 1/3 innings, in his last three starts.
October 8, 200521 yr And I will laugh at you if the Angels sweep the 2 games at Yankee Stadium. 1/2 way there!

October 8, 200521 yr Author I didn't get back to my place until almost 5 this morning. I am sooo beat. I'm actually glad today's game was rained out. I'm too tired to even imagine watching another 27 innings of baseball! 18? Yeah, I can handle that...
