Please--someone call Aretha Franklin!!! The yankees need some RESPECT---- I know how dominating Schilling and Johnson can be but fellas--these are the world champions---They continue to be in the hunt each year---they won it 4 out of 5 years.. I don't know what that tells all of you people, but that tells me that these guys can play.. They have it all---Great pitching--Nasty bullpen--Possibly the best closer of all time----Derek Jeter---The New Mr. October------Joe Torre---he is the best at feeling his player's out.. He listen's to his players.. he trust's in them--if a pitcher say's is arm is fine and they can go, i trust in Joe Torre to make the right descion!!! I bet he would be a great Poker player---good judge of character and knows his players simply by their body language... What about the great yankee defense---- Everyone was counting these guys out when they were down 0-2 to Oakland---not too many teams can come back and win 3 in a row. I believe the A's were the best team in both leagues--They had better starting pitching---better hitting--and solid defense... they had the best record since the all-star break--- But the yankees found a way to come back and beat them... They beat Seattle--come on 116 wins--that is unbelievable!!!! ---They have faced great pitching in oakland---they have faced great pitching in previous years in the world series---and they have proven they can find ways to win!!!! This will be a great series but Can the yankees get the respect they deserve... The snakes are tough, but Yankees( as a team) are better!!!!! I will be giving the under--in game one a hard look!!! Great-pitching beats good hitting 9 times out of 10--Defense---ANd believe the nerves will be higher than ever for both teams...'time is money'''

respect? aren't they -135 favorites for the series, even though Schilling and Johnson sit in the other dugout?

that IS respect in my mind.

Innavation,

You are obviously underestimating Brenly and instead giving all props to Torre. You probably have no idea how his brilliant moves in the playoffs have gotten the DBacks to where they are!

And if you think the Yankees at minus 145 for the series is a reflection that they are not getting respect, then you are way off.

Finally, if you believe the Yankees are better defensively than the DBacks, then you flat out do not know what you are talking about!

Offensive edge: Yankees
Defensive edge: DBacks

Innavation,

Gotta agree with NJO, Yankees are favored in the series. That's respect.

On the other hand, our friend BearDownAZ brings up some valid points.

I'm also hearing a little "heart" from both sides. Look at the game as objectively as you can, both of you.

I'm going to through up some facts in a moment with no favoritism. Hash them over, as all comments will be welcome.

gl!

It will come down to the bullpens.
Arizona's pen is no where near the Yank's pen.
If the Yankees can hold the lead until the 7th inning odds are they win the game. The same can't be said for Zona.

I just hope for a GREAT 7 game series with the Yanks winning of course.

Pitching wins chamionships period!!!

First Base: DBacks( slightly)
2nd base: Push( and that's a gift)
SS: Yankees
3b: Push( williams is a much better hitter, but were are talking defense)
LF: Dbacks( hands down)
CF: Yankees(hands down)
RF: Yankees
C: Dbacks(slightly)

Pitching:

Starting: Yankees
Bullpen : Please, not even close


IMHO, defensively it's even w/ either side making a case @ several positions.

I hate the Yankees!!! so I don't speak from the heart.

Yeah, not too sure how the DBacks are 'obviously' the better defensive team.

Skulldog- Agree with most of your takes on the positions, but no way is Williams "hands down" a better center-fielder than Finley. Bernie is a good defensive center fielder, not great, but Finley gets the edge IMO.

The only 'clear' edges I would give for either team defensively would be Gonzo over Knoblauch in left, Jeter over Womack at short, and probably Miller over Posada at catcher. The O'Neil of a few years ago, who could run, would be a clear choice in right-field, not sure about that now though.

Fellas got to add one more play along with the under 6.5--- i've been pondering this series all week and i believe i have the right side in tonight's match-up... Arizona may be a veteren ball club--but the nerves will be up---and the muscles will be tight--So this is why i have to add the yankees....

Final play: Yanks game under 6.5---
yankees --as a dog?? I'll be on Mussina--smartest picture in the MLB_-yeah i said it!! and you all will see IT!!!
Prediction---Yanks 4----Arizona---0
