Paul Breaks Down Yankees vs. Angels 1995-2009

From Paul, here's te breakdown the Yankees vs. the Angels since the berth of the Wild Card:

Here is a breakdown showing why I want the Yankees to really beat this team instead of Boston in ALCS:

Wow, almost a whole season of ball over 15 seasons including playoffs and the Yanks have a record under .500!

Other things to note:

· The Angles won season series 10 times, Yanks only 3 times, and 2 splits.

· Of the 10 Angles season series wins, the Yanks had the better overall record 7 times and in many cases were a much better team. Example,

1998 historic season the Yanks were under .500 against this team!! Only one time (2008) did the Angles have considerable better record.

· The Yanks only have 13 less run scored but are 12 games under .500 in the regular season.

· Given the records and the Yankees success since 1995, this should be much more even. I can’t understand why the Yankees continue to struggle against the Angels

as the personnel has changed over many times and yet still the same results.

*Another loss to the Angles in the playoffs would be devastating but a win would be bitter sweet. Let’s go Yanks!

Thanks Paul!
