Some of us recall the 1975 WS, the 1978 playoff loss, the 86 debacle and the piss poor teams that followed.

Thank you third base coach.
To: misterrob
the 1978 playoff loss I was at Boston University and my roomate was from NY and swore all year long he hated the Yankees. Then Dent hit the home run and my roomate jumped 5 feet in the air cheering. That was a bitter, bitter loss.

Now Lugo gets a chance to redeem himself at the plate — has to stop pulling the ball and go with the pitch to right — we need some baserunners.
