It's Over

I will say it now after game 1.  The series is over.  I don't care that it is only one game, we all know the inevitable.  There is no point in having any faith in Texas.  They beat up CC Sabathia and had a 5-0 lead and still lost the game.  What a choke job.  It proved they are not ready to compete with the big boys.  If they could not win this game, how will they win any other games in the series? 

It was like watching game one against Minnesota all over again.  After Minnesota blew the game, you could see all the life taken away from them.  I had the same feeling watching this game.  Both stadiums had so much early excitement, only to have it end in misery.  Minnesota totally collapsed, so why would Texas be any different? 

Like usual, the Yankees proved why they are the Yankees.  No lead is safe against them.  Texas had many opportunities to expand their lead and they didn't.  That is death for a Yankee opponent in a playoff game.  They had two awful base running plays that even a little league kid would not make, preventing them from scoring more runs.  You could just sense the Yankees would come back, and the Texas bullpen helped by being terrible.  It was a typical Yankee performance.  Once they took the lead, Texas had no chance of coming back.  I have watched too many Yankee playoff games and realize teams like the Texas Rangers will not beat them.  This was the worst possible way for them to start the series and they will not recover.
