It's nice to see that Baseball got another shot in the arm...ratings for last nights game is probably going to fall within one of the 10 best of all time....2 major markets and no competition...

Why was Martinez left in the game for so long? It looked like a repeat from the previous night when Prior was left in way too long....what are these managers thinking?

And what about Aaron Boone....that moment will be etched in his mind forever...talk about a high....to be in his shoes when he was rounding those bases couldn't top any feeling one could ever attain...

I'm sure the manageers have a method to their (seeming)madness. I felt Torre made a mistake the other night when he took Pettitte out after 5. I found it odd that he didn't leave him in for at least one more. But, hey! Who the hell am I. Just an armchair coach with my own vision of how it should happen.

Well Major League Baseball only has half of the World Series nightmare scenario they were worried about. When the playoffs started the thought of a Twins Marlins World Series scared them to death. I liked Boones comment after the game when he said that Jeter told him not to worry the ghosts would show up eventually.

I wonder how John Henry feels - he had to sell the Marlins in order to buy the Sox.

At least we have avoided the cosmic unravelling that would have happened had the curse of the goat collided with the curse of the Bambino.

Of course you know that whole curse thing is a just a device to avoid labeling them the Boston Choke Artists.

I'm working on about 3 hours sleep if you can call it that! Pure Adrenalin has taken over!

True Baseball at it's finest.
It is too bad one of them had to lose.
I'm wicked glad it was not the Yank's.
To all the naysayers, $$$ issues are out the window in a game like that. It is Un-canny how this core group of players, Jeter, Williams, Pasada, Mariano, Pettite, Wells, Clemens come back time and time again. It is not $$$!!
The Mets and Dodgers spend Mucho Dinero too and lose.
What it is: "The Greatness of the Yankees" and little of Babe, Mickey, Joe D. Lou Gehrig, Thurman Munson, Billy Martin & etc...looking down and smiling.....
Lets Don't forget The Great Yogi! "it aint over, til it over!"
The truly amazing thing is these two teams this year are 14 to 13 against each other.
Also, in the 100 year history series between them, is at 426 to 425. Unbelievable!!!

The win was a total team effort.

Now they need to complete the journey to #27.

Go Yankees!!!

From light-hitting Bucky f'ing Dent to light-hitting Aaron f'ing Boone. Unbelieveble. Grady Little and Steve Bartman should start Voodoo Enterprises together. Unbelievable. Thank god I'm a, oh wait a minute, my beloved Tigers have been stuck in the cellar for 15 years now. And now I've got to root for a fresakin' expansion team in the WS? Shoot me now.

I feel like a neocon chickenhawk whose radio hero just got caught with illegal oxy-contin. However, there is still a chance that the Yankmees will lose the series, and that would be a good thing.

The Red Sox now have two managers. They hired Terry Francona, and they signed Curt Schilling. Two, Two, Two managers in one!

Of course, the Yankees have had two managers ever since Georgie Boy bought the team. The Red Sox are just trying to play catch-up.

One can still hope their pitching in lagging with the loses of Pettite and Clemens. But with the kind of run support they should be getting, heck, I could probably pitch and come up with a 'W'. It's disgusting.

On paper it is disgusting, but they have this silly rule that you actually have to play those 162 games.
