We're about two hours from Pitch 1 of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series between the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees. I'm at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington where Nolan Ryan is talking to the national media, Josh Hamilton is taking batting practice and the glorious sun is shining down on us lucky media stationed in the left-field seats.

I say C.J. Wilson pitches as well or better than C.C. Sabathia tonight. What say you?

By the way, Rangers in red tonight.

Stay tuned.
