The Yankees-Angels Game 2 was feared to be a suspended game due to weather. But the Yankees-Angels Game 2 could have been suspended due to length instead. If the Yankees-Angels Game 2 went beyond 13 innings and five hours, Bud Selig might have done something stupid like suspend the game, and make fans go to Yankee Stadium for about 10 minutes today. But the Yankees-Angels Game 2 took things out of Selig's hands at last, as the Angels shot themselves again and the Yankees finally put a stranglehold on the ALCS.
The Yankees-Angels Game 2 score was 3-2 Yankees in 13, but the score didn't move for about seven innings. After an early 2-0 Yankees lead, the Angels came back to tie, thanks to Yankee errors and wild pitches. From then on in, it didn't look like anyone would score until 4 in the morning.
Soon, the Yankees-Angels Game 2 turned into a surreal morning in New York, as the long awaited rainstorms finally came in extra innings, and inspired memories of the Phillies-Rays Game 5 for a time. But the game went on and on, because the Angels and Yankees just kept leaving men on base. And even when the Angels finally got a run in the 11'th, Alex Rodriguez had to get a home run and keep the remaining fans there for two more innings.
The Yankees-Angels Game 2 naturally ended on an error, as the Angels' Maicer Izturis made a throwing error in trying to get a double play he wouldn't have gotten anyway. In this postseason of errors, bad calls and mental mistakes, the Angels' fifth error in two games cost them Game 2 - after leaving 16 men on base. It also may have cost them the ALCS if things don't change.
If the Angels had held on, the Yankees-Angels Game 2 would have been just the beginning of a long and hard ALCS. Instead, with the Yankees up 2-0, many will be surprised if the ALCS goes back to New York.

Very poorly written. An accurate final score would have been a good thing to include.
