The World Series is set as the Yankees and Phillies have eliminated everyone in their paths.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi took some heat in the ALCS for his pitching moves. The most telling glimpse into Joe Girardi's 2009 postseason mindset came a week ago in Anaheim, Calif.

Bunt. It's one of the first things that Little League players learn to do and how to field.

He has been there before, so many times, and yet it still felt sweet. Still felt special and beautiful and unique.

They just can't return to the World Series. They may be among baseball's most consistently excellent teams, praised throughout the sport for doing all the little things right, but the Los Angeles Angels can't find a way to reach the final two again.

Times writers provided updates on Game 1 of the Angels-Yankees American League Championship Series.

Los Angeles third baseman and leadoff batter Chone Figgins still doesn't have a hit this postseason, but manager Mike Scioscia will stick with him at the top of the order in Game 2 of the ALCS Saturday night.

He didn't hit the home run that sparked the Game 1 win and quite possibly the series.

Perhaps the most miraculous number to come out of the Angels 5-0 victory over the Red Sox was the number of ejections: 0. Considering all that Angels manager Mike Scioscia and Red Sox manager Terry Francona had to complain about, it's stunning that neither they nor Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester was tossed from the game.

A botched call in the corner. A phantom foul ball at home plate. Big misses on the bases.

At the rate they're plummeting out of contention in this AL Division Series, the Red Sox will be eating their first dinner of the offseason by tomorrow evening.
