You are drinking too much coffee or something Euro. No way in hell do the Yanks get swept.

Maybe the cleaning fumes are getting to me. We had a industrial cleaning done last night and boy does it stink in here this morning.

Ah ha!! I knew something had to be going on there. Sweeping a 4 game series no matter how bad the disparity between any two teams, is very hard. Sweeping 5 games when the two teams are both good is very, very hard. I mean Detroit is a good team and have taken the first two from the Red Sox so far in a 4 game series but no way in hell would I take them to won both of the next two. Baseball just isn't a sport like hockey or basketball where one team that towers over another team can sweep out a series. Baseball has a lot of luck involved in it. Some nights a team can hit four frozen ropes and have em hit right at someone. Other nights a texas leaguer can fall in or a ground ball sneak through a hole. In the long run the talent will prevail but in the short run its not real easy for ANY team to sweep another team, especially in a 5 game series.

You would get around 32-1 simply because most games are going to be even-6 and the Yankees are going to be favored in a few. Sucker bet. They will go 3-2 or 4-1 if they are lucky. Their pitching sucks.
