1,2,4... uh... oops. I mean 3... Nervous? I can live with nervous, as long as it benefits the sox... heh heh heh

Sweat it, Yankees! Hahahahahahahaha

[NonValueAdded]

Actually, they do reverse the call in Japan so 2-3 is a full count over there. Maybe something got lost in the translation.

[F16Fighter]

Well, here's the usual un-clutch hitting and RISP the Yanks have stranded. It's just surprising that Giambi wasn't doing it -- oh, but there's still plenty of time for that.

Wakefield WILL be waiting in the wings.

[Semper911]

Cracks a beer

I'll join you.

[baseballfanjm]

Snowcone catch on a line drive by Ortiz. One out.

[Mr. Mojo]

Clemens threw a lot of pitches (21). I wonder who they'd turn to in a long relief situation (if necessary). .....Perhaps Mussina?

[handhfan]

Bernie almost dropped the fly ball hit by Ortiz. One down.

[demlosers]

Ortiz lines out to center. 1 out.

[Senator Pardek]

It's funny but it's...you know

Cutting edge? Postmodern? Thought-provoking? A reflection of our oppressive patriarchal society? </liberal social critic>

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

There's Bernie with the great catch, making my prediction look good (about him having the biggest impact for the Yankees).

[rmlew]

That would explain why I can't get it.
I guess, I will have to settle for CBS Sportsline

[fhayek]

No one is to imbibe unless you brought enough for the rest of us. ;^)

[handhfan]

Foul, Ball, and Foul, hit to center again, base hit Millar on first.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Cutting edge? Postmodern? Thought-provoking? A reflection of our oppressive patriarchal society? </liberal social critic>

Stupid?

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Bernie definitely came to play. Good thing it wasn't the Bernie of Game 1 ALDS.

[StarFan]

But he's more nervous than we are, that's for sure

Speak for yourself as we're on pins and needles.

[F16Fighter]

Could be Mussina....

Clemens has his "B" game thus far.

[Semper911]

Millar gets something going...

[mikemc282002]

McCarver's starting to look like Hillary more and more each game.
