I'll say this for the Red Sox: At the very least, at the absolute minimum, they play in a league where a team's greatest investment, its pitchers, aren't put at unnecessary risk. Chien-Ming Wang has never been the same since he was forced to run the bases for himself in Houston last season. So anyone who hates the DH can kiss my rings. Pick one, I've got six. (I'm not counting the 20 the Yanks won before I was born.)<br /><br />Nice win, especially in front of all those people chanting "Let's go, Yankees!" at Turner Field. And they talk about the Yankees not filling the seats at home? They sure seem to fill the seats on the road. The Braves have had Playoff games where they don't sell out. That franchise really ought to be ashamed of itself: All that winning, and the fans STILL don't come out! The only time they sell out in regular National League games is when they play the Mets or the Cubs.<br /><br />Nice job by Joba on the mound, good to see. And Girardi putting himself in the line of the ump's fire, which Joe Torre hardly ever did. (Can't believe Lisa didn't get THAT dig in!)<br /><br />Should be an interesting weekend in Flushing Meadow. I wonder who'll throw out the first ball? Yankee no-hit hero Dwight Gooden? Yankee perfect game hero David Cone? How about Yankee World Series hero Darryl Strawberry? Nah, they'll probably go with former Yankee broadcaster Tom Seaver.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-59251781666777490142009-06-25T11:29:08.087-04:002009-06-25T11:29:08.087-04:00Sorry - Rivera.

It was a great and light-hearted moment for the team. He didn't hit a homerun as Beckett did, but your team got the win and that's even better.NAMnoreply@blogger.com
