I read that the tigers have never lost a postseason series to the yankees. Not sure if that was true, but I know we've done well against them the last few times we've managed to make the playoffs. How is their minor league system? I can't imagine they won't have an answer for some of their aging players in the next couple seasons. They've seemed to avoid any really dumb contracts over the past couple of years and I don't expect them to be this "bad" for very long.
By bad, I mean bad for a Yankees team. They've been wrecked by injuries this season and still have a lineup that most teams would be envious of. I'm not about to talk as if this series is over. Our bullpen is a weakness and it may only be a matter of time before the Yanks bats wake up. Hopefully if it happens it'll occur the same time the Tigers' bats do.
