C.J. Wilson (1-0, 2.03) vs. CC Sabathia (1-0, 7.20).
COMMENTS: Maybe the ALCS isn't all it was cracked up to be, because, like a Metamucil user, New York is on the brink of elimination. The heavily favored (by me, anyway) Yankees have been clobbered into submission by the Rangers, who have outscored them 30-11 in their first four games. Most impressive.
But in order to advance to the World Series, Texas has to get through New York's $161-million man, Sabathia. Can an ace turn a series around? Expect CC to throw BB's today, and perhaps he'll make the Rangers look like an AAA team. If he doesn't, Joe Girardi might have to start looking for another job.
Degree of difficulty: Tex is toast.

Let's go, Rangers!
Rangers rule!
Yankees don't!
Jetah and A-Roid can kiss my bootay!
The Yankees are sweating like a virgin at a prison rodeo.
(Texas saying)
GO RANGERS!
I'm going out on a limb and saying that the Rangers will win today and have a few days to rest up and clobber the Phiwwies or gnats
You guys are the bright point of any day! Go Rangers!!
Go go Texas Rangers!
You mighty mashin' Texas Rangers!
(I'll just continue to try to ignore who used to own you and continues to sit in the front row for your games.)
Excellent avatar, Betsy!
I've always like Rangers more than Celtic, as far as Glasgow teams are concerned.
Grandpa was a Glaswegian. He was a Rangers man.
I say, Go Rangers!
*gives kiss of death*
@Orel: nice job with the last pun.
By the end of the day, will it be "Texas toasts (victory)"?
Orel and Sax need to replace the pun writers at MLB.com. "Texas pain-saw massacre"? What the hell does that even mean?
Rangers and Valencia tied at 1 at Ibrox.
American Maurice Edu with an own-goal.
Bollocks.
The Texas Pain-Saw massa-cree
Took my baby away from me.

Ebonics up in this biatch already.
O'Douls with a base hit after DP

FUCK THE GNATS is never off topic.
Gotta put some duct tape on dem bats
Glad to know you're on the right side of history with your Glasgow clubs, RBN!
According to the esteemed journalists at TMZ this is why the Yankees have choked:

I Hate you Posada
A-Roid can pre-game meal on this
FUCK YOU A-ROID
Fucking Bad News Bears. WTF!
Wuh-oh.
Sideburns looks like he wants to cry.Punk.
Crap. I knew I gave the kiss of death.
Guy I work with is Irish. We agree on Arsenal; disagree on Rangers/Celtic.
Ajax beats Scrubbing Bubbles!
Stupid Swisher.
Stupid Robinson Crusoe.
Nooooooooooooooooo!
I just got home and the Yankmes are leading 5-0?? WTF?
Fucking Rangers.
I saw the Swisher and Cano homers, how did they get the other 3 runs?
True story.
It's only the 4th. I'll cry when the 27th out is made.
#karinaismyhomegirl
Yeah. This is the Rangers offense, not the Dodgers offense.
NLCS Game 4 GT is up.
Another 1st basemen bites the dust!!
Ahhhh, he's up and taking his position =(
Yankees should just forfeit with all their 1B's going down.
Much better, CJ.
MISTER MISTY MAY!!
UJTD?
Mr.F--Vinnie's famous "up jumps the devil" during a Dodger/Gnat game this season when the gnats hit into a DP.
swisher has to hold up at 3rd...what a damn shame =)
Ah, thanks. I think I asked that before (and forgot since).
So much for pitching duels these last few games
CC's out. OK, Rangers, you have two innings to do something before Chalupa Man comes in.
Elvis has left 2nd base.
Dammit.
Jonathan Bernier is starting in the net for LA tonight? I'm holding my breath.
#hockeytalk
I wish I could jump higher.
#honkytalk
I wonder if that deal with the devil the Sox signed to be able to hit Mariano is still available.
this game is boring
the guy from Psych just hit a homerun
Welp, this one's done.
(I know what I said earlier.)
Muy.
Last licks.
OK, Rangers, last pep talk: This guy's like 100 years old and only knows one pitch. You got this!
I don't think they heard me.
At least Mitch Moreland still cares.
Nice AB, Mitch.
Eh, it's sweeter to win at home anyway.
That's game.
Well, that's that. I hope Phil Hughes gets the full Arlington launching pad experience.
