Well, let's make it three: A game like that in October would have been legendary. If only we'd actually HAD a game or two like that in October since, oh, 2004!<br /><br />I was in the City today and considered going to today's game, but got in late, figured I wouldn't get a ticket for under $1,250, and considered the weather, and decided to bag it. I'm glad I did, because although it turned out to be a beautiful day with the weather, it was an ugly game for the Yankees.<br /><br />For five innings, C.C. Sabathia was brilliant. Then in the sixth, he turned into just another fat guy. And then it all collapsed.<br /><br />I want tomorrow's game really badly. While I offer my condolences to the Angels for the loss of Nick Adenhart, I really don't like those guys, especially that twerp Chone Figgins, who seems to play very ordinary against everybody else but shreds the Yankees.<br /><br />Pena continues to impress, though. A third baseman who comes through in the clutch. Dugan, Rolfe, Billy Johnson, McDougald, Boyer, Nettles, Boggs, Brosius, Boone (well, once). In the words of our President, it's change we can believe in. Can we keep him as the starter? We probably won't, but...

Thankfully I had a great Bruins game to distract me from the Sox...does Tampa ever lose at home?<br /><br />Lisa - I, too, get my money's worth out of the rewind button on my DVR after a big game. It is fun to watch.<br /><br />Have a nice weekend everybody!Paul from Bostonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-41835005874996254472009-05-02T12:37:00.000-04:002009-05-02T12:37:00.000-04:00Last night's game was "just what the doctor ordere...Last night's game was "just what the doctor ordered"for us Yankee fans! We have experienced too many ugly losses and some ugly wins also, for that matter. We need to go forth from here. Our star pitchers really have to step up and give us the kind of performances that they are capable of.<br /> And Viva la Pena.Roger 9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09485489288615778547noreply@blogger.com
