Yanks have a chance to get off to a wonderful start since Lee isn't scheduled to go to Game 3. You wonder if Texas drops game 1 if they'll bump Lee up a day to avoid falling behind 2-0.

I hope you are right...but I doubt it. I would like their chances better if they had Cliff Lee for game 1.

Agreed. I definitely hope the Rangers win. Love Cliff Lee and would love to see him beat the Yankees.

They'll steal one of the first two games and take game 3 (Lee) and 4 (vs Burnett). That will put them up 3-1 and Lee could pitch game 6 (on short rest) or game 7.

Stealing game one would be huge because then they don't have to worry about starting Lee until Game 3 then they'll probably have a 2-1 lead. If they lose game 1 they have to at least consider throwing Lee on short rest. It's conceivable that this series could last 5 games and Lee only pitches in 1. That shouldn't happen when you have an ace like that.

seems like a lot of people are discounting how well Pettitte and Hughes both pitched in the first round for New York...

Rangers are easily my bandwagon team for however long they last in this postseason.

Love how they play and enjoy the game. Will be rooting hard for them....which is also a deathwish for their chances.

^^^ This...Love Josh Hamilton and Cliff Lee. I even bought a Rangers t-shirt about midway through the season. Besides Cincy, the Rangers are my next favorite team. I'll admit, I jumped on the Texas bandwagon this year.

Rangers have a good chance in this one....as most Tribe fans know, CC is not very clutch in the playoffs.

Immediate advantage Rangers! I think the Rangers need to keep Lee on normal schedule, game 3 and 7.

This lineup is tough.

Young in the No. 2 spot is a clutch veteran and then you have a lot of thump in the middle with Hamilton, Guerrero, Cruz.

And still some guys like Kinsler, Francoeur and Cantu who are solid hitters.

I think this is going to be a good series. Rangers will go toe to toe.
