The Yankees are a good defensive team, but Oakland's pitching stats in the regular season were far better than the Yankees (allowed about 200 more hits). I'd expected the low production in the divisional series, but thought we'd fare better against the Yankees pitching staff. We did set the record for slugging percentage-- where the hell is that team now?

Jeff Weaver went a long way to bringing up the Yankees' ERA. His ERA was around 6.

The good news is that Dick Morris just predicted a Yankees win! :-)

The problem with stats is they can't cover individual matchup, some hitters hit certain pitches well so a good pitching team that throws a lot of those pitches will get killed by those hitters.
This series is going a lot like the regular season series, these two teams simply brutalized each other in the regular season. Not sure how the slugging fared in those games.
