It was about 2:00 a.m (here in Brazil) when Mariano last pitch got into Posada’s glove. Eight years after the World Series against the D-Backs when I start to watch and love the Yankees we are back ! And wath a series. After the first two games I really thought this series would finish in four. Rodriguez lock up CC pitching like the true ace of the staff and the team believing that they could come back at any time at any game. But the Angels reminded me why they had sweept the Red Sox. Mathis walk-off on game 3 and next game CC would pitch on three days rest. That was the time that future ALCS MVP really step up for me. Pitching like I never saw he shut the Angels down and send the news: Nobody can stop The Yankees. I know the Angels won game 5 but to me it didn’t matter. It would be game 6 or game 7 but the Yankees would get there. It only took the Yankees one more game (even though we had to wait one more day because of the rain). Andy one more time showed why a experience pitcher is so important in this situations. He threw first pitch strike to Angels first three hitters. That was a indication of what would come. On the other side Saunders didn’t pitch like he did in game 2. He fell behind to almost every hitter putting two on bases in the first inning and loading the bases in the second inning. But the Yankees failed to bring home a run. And than Angels hero Mathis start the third inning with a double ( he had 6 doubles in the series). After a sac-bunt and a groundout Abreu hit a RBI single with two outs putting the Angels one nothing on the board. On the bottom of the inning the Yankees stroke back and with the bases loaded Damon hits a two-RBI single putting the Yankees in the lead a lead they would never lose again. Rodriguez drew a walk with the bases loaded again after Teixeira single and another run scored. The game got a little cold until the sixth inning when Andy got in a little bit trouble but got out of it making a play on a hit right at his face. Mariano made the eight inning a little fun allowing Figgins to score on Vlads hit with two outs but that was it. On the bottom of the eight inning the Angels defense show up again  but not on the right way. Another two errors ( Kazmir error was UUUUUUUGGLY !!!!) and a sac-fly for Teixeira and Mariano finally got the last three outs that we need. Game Over ! ALCS Over! And now only the Phillies are in the way of number 27 !
