But this is why I hate managers... Nathan is the logical choice to enter there. He's their best reliever, 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, an Oakland run basically ends any hope... and they wind up giving up 4, with Nathan never leaving the bench. Awesome.

This just came up here in NY after Torre said Mariano will only be used one inning a game this postseason. Someone brought up whether that could mean Mariano in the 8th if the situation called for it. Beat reporter's response was that Torre would never consider that.
Why the hell not? If the hyped Subway Series were to happen, Yanks up one, Mets send Beltran, Delgado and Wright up in the 8th...do you really save Mariano to pitch to Cliff Floyd, Shawn Green and Jose Valentin? That's just absurd.
