Randy came up big in Fenway, can he do it again? He definitely looks much sharper so as long as our favorite ump isn't working the game, The Big Unit should be fine. We have got to pummel Byrd quickly, it's as simple as that. Games four and five will be an all out war and Rivera and Gordon are going three innings as a combo if it comes down to it so giving then the extra rest will make the difference.
The Angels are far superior with their middle relief group than us. We only have two guys that we can count on so giving Johnson a comfortable lead and not burning the dynamic duo is key. If Byrd goes seven, I don't see us winning that game. The Angels aren't intimidated by Yankee stadium or our fans so we have to take the lead early like we did in game one.
