WHY MOMENTUM IS ON OUR SIDE

"It's one game, Dude". That's CJ Wilson's arrogant statement last night after the collapse of the Rangers to the Yankees 6-5 in Game 1 of the ALCS. Hey Pretty Boy, you're right. It's only 1 game but the Yanks have 3 left to win, the Rangers have 4. It's not a season Sunshine, it's a Series. And right now, it's a Series for the Yankees to win.

Last night's game was a huge loss for the Rangers. The bubble burst and hopefully for good this Series. Am I counting the Rangers out? No, they're a great ball club, but a defensive CJ Wilson says 1 thing to me. He knows he pitched awesome last night. He also knows the rest of his bullpen didn't and if I'm the Rangers bullpen, I'm annoyed at Wilson today. They know they blew it, why make it worse bro. It's about team, not 1 guys performance. You can tell he's still young and immature. Hopefully the Yankees sense that and will capitalize further. Am I the only one who noticed how arrogant Wilson sounded? Comment and let me hear from you.

Today, Hughes pitches against Colby Lewis. Lewis is beatable and Hughes is coming off an amazing pitching performance against the Twins. Anything can happen as you know. Hughes, who has had success in his short career in Texas can pitch well again today. Lewis, while a good pitcher, could implode after the Rangers were humiliated in front of their own fans. He could also, as history has shown, pitch brilliantly. But I say confidence and momentum is on the Yankees side and they will take this game today.

The Bombers 8th inning heroics last night could possibly lead them into the Bronx with a 2-0 lead but even if they lose today, they have the Bronx, where the ghost of Steinbrenner lives! Let's hope that magic never goes away. Ride it high and stay focused.
