The New York Yankees defeated the Angels 5-2 last night, to win the American League Championship Series, and move on to their 40th world series. The Yankees have won the World Series 26 of the 39 previous times they have been in it.

I haven't posted about this series yet due to a massive amount of schoolwork, but what a series this was.

The Yankees ace, C.C. Sabathia was the MVP of the series. I thought that he and Alex Rodriguez should have been C0 MVP's. What an unbelievable series for the two of them.

C.C. went eight innings in game one and game four on just three days rest. He gave up one run in each of those starts.

A-Rod has been batting 400. plus throughout the postseason, hitting big home run after big home run. In game six last night, he got on base all five times he was up, getting two hits and being walked twice. A-Rod has also played well defensively in the playoffs.

What can be said about Andy Pettitte. He has always been a big game pitcher for the Yankees, and he proved that again last night. Pettitte went six plus innings giving up one run.

Mariano Rivera came in during the eighth inning for the six out save, and he did the norm. He succeeded.

As the Yankees head back to the world series, the city of New York awaits Wednesday night, where Jay Z is scheduled to perform "Empire State of Mind" before first pitch.

I'll tell you one thing, the Bronx will be rocking.
