The New York Yankees enter the post-season with the best record in Major League baseball over the 2009 regular season. It's obvious that all the pressure in now on the pin stripes to deliver a World Series Championship to their fans.
$500,000,000 -- yes, that's a lot of zeros -- spent on Tiexiera, Sabathia & Burnett to bring the championship back to NY after a 9 year hiatus. History is not good with the past playoff performances of A-Rod, Sabathia & Tiexiera. Maybe they can overcome it this year, maybe not. Burnett is untested in the last several years since his Marlins days.
The Yankees get a nice boost from the playoff game today between Minnesota & Detroit. Whoever wins will have to start their #3 starter against Sabathia. If the visitor can steal one game in NY, though, the tide may turn against the Yanks.
Again, the New York Yankees have all the pressure on them to deliver. It will be fun to watch if they can perform.
