Never mind how cold it'll be, or how cold the Yankees get when I walk into Martell's: I'm worried about inhaling all that hairspray! If I ever find the person responsible for putting all those Situations and Snookis onto those boardwalks (when we already had plenty, thank you very much), I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind! Then we'll start out even!Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-75608838009430123462010-10-22T11:14:12.337-04:002010-10-22T11:14:12.337-04:00Uncle Mike, I just ask you to stay away from Marte...Uncle Mike, I just ask you to stay away from Martell's Tiki Bar this weekend, no matter how delicicous those clam strips are. We know the Yankees won-loss record is bad when you watch them there!<br /><br />Paul, good question. I say that because it was arguably the most memorable game of the (post-1981) 80s Yankees. It also was the funniest thing I've ever seen happen on the field, and the fact that it was noted Yankee nemesis George Brett made it more priceless. And because my being at the game impressed a lot of people I met in college!<br /><br />When we left the ballpark that day, the Yankees had won the game. Although Lee McPhail ultimately reinstated the homer despite the rules violation, citing some "spirit of the game" anti-Yankee nonsense, it doesn't take away from the game itself being a good memory.Lisa Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909220094978054349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-14270153015325559052010-10-22T10:23:09.534-04:002010-10-22T10:23:09.534-04:00I'm confused about one thing...

That...Cliche Alert: Take it one game at a time. That's what teams that are down do. That's what the Sox did to us in 2004. That's what the Phils are going to try to do tonight against the Jints.<br /><br />And if we win Game 6, I think we're going to remind Cliff Lee that he's only been 26-22 the last 2 years. Or, as Tony Burton said in Rocky IV, "He's NOT a machine! He's a MAN!"<br /><br />But if Phil Hughes doesn't have good stuff tomorrow night, then our only chance is to get to the Texas bullpen and hope we can win an 8-7 type game. Then I wouldn't be so optimistic. We shall see.<br /><br />My own on-site record isn't that good. I've never gotten inside for a postseason game. And my only attempt at a clincher, in Toronto in 2006, we lost (but still clinched because the Sox lost too). I've been to a few Old-Timers' Days and Monument Park dedications, and the Yanks usually lose those when I'm there. But they've won both my Opening Days, and 3 of the 4 live Yanks-Sox games I've seen (including the one at Fenway).Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
