" For the first time an American League playoff history a team opening their stadium. -- the league championship series and tonight the Yankees in game one victory. CC sabathia gets a two nothing lead the first inning and -- thought tonight we really a stellar effort the effort by ACC tonight on Christian it was a big time effort. -- the team that CC has struggled against in the past and it spoke with Derek Jeter and instead well that's the pats. With the pitcher who has been absolutely brilliant so far post season really the entire second half. And we look at things in this Yankee team starting pitching is such a difference than what we've seen in recent years. Four wins of the post season -- though. It's those days -- starting pitchers allowed just one earned run. Offensively for the Yankees tonight you got Hideki Matsui going opposite way the big guy gone off -- two hits with the RBI. But Johnny Damon want for twelve of the division series are really stepping up tonight yet and that was a big development for the Yankees. Spirits tonight she runs scored get the double. And for Johnny David. It's gonna players who spent his career yankees' hitting coach Kevin long talk today about how even the best players a slump and psychologically get that. -- I think -- was a little bit given blogs that I'd like to see him get hit his first at bat tonight that's what happened. And then he'd just progressed from there also had a really catch in left field so now that Damon's back well that was pretty good shape offensively. Defensively the angels' fourth in the American League in defense this year but really the the Angels made mistakes that we thought frankly that -- meet the series that still might. The Yankees can force the action. And not to the extent of the Angels but. While some of the angels' errors one forced. The errant pick off play with Melky Cabrera editorial talking on making the -- going to where it was going home. Well the Yankees are pretty athletic too. And again there's no excuse to the plate between I've aren't figured out -- below those of the mistake and really no excuse a lot of these things. But you'll see the Yankees forced the issue a little bit. Like the Angels do in the series Angels offensively couldn't really force any issues with their hitting tonight. And really the key to -- offenses Chone Figgins who has yet to get hit in the playoffs they really need to get him down on yes they do Christian and he is there ignite is such an important player for them. And when he is over for the post season it's going to be a problem. Got away with that the Boston series you'll not get away with it against the Yankees in this series. It's just too big -- deficit to overcome when you don't have him really in the -- setting the table for the hitters -- The weather tonight cold windy how's that for you down on the field well over the conditions like for the players down here. It was cold and the Yankees had a heater in the dugout that they were frequently going to between innings the list of players but I would say it was a present. And I wouldn't say that really the conditions were as bad as a lot of us thought they would be. We thought that we'd have rain tonight at the parade. -- into the fold and away and well just -- the cold. Rain in the forecast tomorrow if they -- in game two the Yankees lead the series. What did nothing here in the ALCS. The last 39 ALCS that team that won game one. 59% of the time they won the series completely African -- bunkers Anderson for foxsports.com. We'll see after game two."
