Yankees Win League Championship Series
Jorge Posada said he expected the League Championship Series to be "a battle from start to finish."

In the end, it was nothing more than a minor skirmish, as the New York Yankees encountered little resistance in sweeping the Detroit Tigers, to advance to the World Series.

"It may have been a sweep, but it still was a tough series," said Posada.

New York won the final game by a 10-4 count and were led in the series by Posada, who was named MVP. On the series, he hit .429 with 0 home runs. He also drove in 3 RBI and scored 4 runs.

The New York Yankees don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the St. Louis Cardinals - Montreal Expos series. Montreal leads the series 3 games to 1. The World Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship Series finishes.
