Rock band Owl is the side project of The Cult bassist Chris Wyse, but that's not what we're here to talk about. That's just a table setter for drummer Dan Dinsmore of Owl, who is a huge New York Yankees fan. The Yankees are in the ALCS, planning to face the Los Angeles Angels this week to determine who goes to the World Series. We had the chance to talk to Dan about the Yankees' sweep of the Twins and what he thinks lies ahead....Musicians Talking Sports: Did you anticipate a 3-game sweep against Minnesota?
Dan Dinsmore: Yes, I knew the Yankees would sweep.
MTS: Did the Twins scare you going in based on how hot they've been the last few weeks?
DD: No, not at all. We have a big vibe going on in New York, and this team is on a different level.
MTS: What would another championship mean to the core of vets on this team like Jeter, Posada, Rivera and Pettite?
DD: I think it would add to the legend that this is a consistent team and these players create magic. And the Yankees are creating a new decade of being the team to beat.
MTS: Do you think the Yanks would be in this position if they hadn't acquired CC Sabathia?
DD: Yes I do, I believe this organization would have done really well. However CC is awesome and he has been everything we hoped for.
MTS: Your prediction for the rest of the postseason?
DD: Yankees over the Angels in 5 games. Torre and the Dodgers then come to New York.
(Dodgers manager Joe) Torre gets greeted like a king, and Manny (Ramirez) gets his ass handed to him. Yanks take it in 6, and all will be beautiful.
