It's funny, but as a Yankee fan, i had no doubt they would lose. Yankee fans have seen this story over and over again. While the ending is never certain, odds are overwhelmingly in favor of the Yankees winning in extra innings in situations like this.
I was on the phone with friends on and off - once it was tied, the general consensus was that the Yanks will jack one in extra innings. That's what happened I can't tell you how many times, in my 30 years or so of being a Yankee fan, I have seen this story play out. More often than not, the Yankees win in this situaton.
