The Yanks are a confident team now, a powerful team. They found their swagger. Now the Bombers go straight to the three-of-five ALDS, where they sit, appropriately, at No. 1.
Brian Cashman and the Yankees' front office should be applauded for finding an ideal, cost-efficient fit for their playoff roster in Raul Ibanez.
The regular season isn't over yet, but make no mistake: Game 162 at Yankee Stadium will have a playoff atmosphere -- and major postseason implications.
The Yankees couldn't have asked for a softer season-ending opponent. The Red Sox are simply awful, and they have been playing out the string since early August. Last season's fried chicken and beer collapse has never ended.

Ivan Nova has been dropped from the Yankees' rotation after a pair of poor outings, and David Phelps will replace him as Tuesday night's starter against the Red Sox.

Andy Pettitte pitched five sparkling innings in his return from a broken leg and his bullpen barely held on, but his performance kept the Yankees atop the AL East.
Joe Girardi can't jam the reset button and make his team young and voracious again. But he is expected to beat Baltimore. And if he doesn't, he could go hungry.
It was easily determined whether Andy Pettitte or rookie David Phelps would pitch the first game or the nightcap. "Andy, you kind of give (Andy) his choice," said manager Joe Girardi.
