stats. dig it. based upon my calculations:
the greatest threat for the yankees is tampa bay.
minnesota is not to be overlooked.
giants, atlanta: OUT.
rockies: IN.
whomever takes the alcs will face the phillies and beat them.
thus:
YANKEES v. TEXAS > YANKEES
TAMPA BAY v. MINNESOTA > TAMPA BAY >
YANKEES v. TAMPA BAY > ?
PHILLIES v. COLORADO > PHILLIES
CINCINNATI v. PADRES > CINCINNATI
PHILLIES v. CINCINNATI > PHILLIES
of course, we've eliminated the AARON BOONE, BUCKY DENT AND BILL BUCKNER factors...i'm jus sayin...
