A bit before my time, but I clearly remember the Yanks losing four straight (after winning the first two) to the Dodgers in the '81 Series and then completely self-destucting the following year, going 79 - 83 and commencing a 15 year World Series appearance drought during which time Steinbrenner went Krakatoa every other minute while seaching for the right formula.
Tonight's 13-run 2nd was their biggest inning ever at Yankee Stadium, btw.
Another disaster tonight. Johnson coughing up gopher balls like he's pitching BP. Gordon comes in and both inherited runners immediately score charged to the Unit. Mo might be hurt (hand hit with come-backer).
Post-game comments by Kaat and Kay: "Shocking" performance by Johnson. "Yanks had their chances."
