I'm glad they didn't pull Lowe. He's pitching really well and Jeter's hit was just a ground ball in the hole, albeit a sharply hit one.

That works too. Baseball is a hard sport to play.

And more specifically its been bad starting pitching, the bullpen was greatly overworked both during the season and during the postseason. They have pretty much always been weak in long/middle relief but in year's past their starters were usually good enough to give them 6/7 solid innings leading straight to the great set-up men they have had over the years and a dominant closer.

I think I want the Yanks to lose just so that I don't have to hear McCarver go ga-ga over everything that Jeter does. He made the throw home in the first seem like it was a thing of beauty by Jeter.

I'm in St. Louis... it's only 9:00. And yes, I need sleep, because I get up at 5:00 every morning, and I've been up late every freaking night watching baseball.

Work sucks.

Johnny Damon does not.

Go baseball Jesus!

Agreed... and I hope they've got some hot pitcher in the minors they're keeping hush hush about, because there isn't really a whole lot of good starting pitching on the FA market this off-season. And if this is the starting core we're going to have next year, me thinks it'll be a long year in 2005.

Damon must have ate his Wheaties this morning.

holyroller · 10-20-2004, 10:53 PM

Anyone ever see Damon hit one in to the upper deck before?

Audible "Lets Go Red Sox" chant at Yankee Stadium. :-o

Dargone · 10-20-2004, 10:55 PM

Yankee stadium is very quiet right now...

kingfc22 · 10-20-2004, 10:55 PM

When do the "Who's your papi" (Ortiz) or "Who's your Father" (damon) chants begin?

holyroller · 10-20-2004, 10:55 PM

It is quite quiet
