Lee was pretty much the only player that mattered this series. Unbelievable dominance after a shaky start to Game 1.
Rays/Rangers becomes first series in MLB history to fail to have a home win. Road teams go 7-1 in the ALDS.
Hopefully that trend continues in the next round. (at least the first 2 games). No doubt Yankees catch a break with Lee pitching today and not having to face the Rays.
This was the best case scenario for us. Sweeping the Twins, and having the Rangers battle the Rays in 7 games, winning out with Cliff Lee closing it out. Couldn't have scripted it any better. Now go execute, boys!
