This could be series!

[Prodigal Son]

Penny up around 100 pitches now.

[lavrenti]

Base hit.

Dontrelle, the most nervous man in baseball.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Matsui singles almost exactly the same way he did last time.

[FlJoePa]

Turn two Fish!

[Burkeman1]

Godzilla is on with a single!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Fish 3, Yankees 2

[Senator Pardek]

Buh-by ;)

According to his bartender (pick any city), Wells pitches better with a 2.9+% blood-alcohol content.

[FlJoePa]

Git Em' Dontrelle!

[lavrenti]

I don't understand why infields don't shift against Matsui like they do for Giambimbo.

Then again, Matsui will adjust.

According to his bartender (pick any city), Wells pitches better with a 2.9+% blood-alcohol content.

He eats breakfast better that way.

[F16Fighter]

3-2 Yanks. Runner at 1st. One out.

[Mr. Mojo]

Bernie just tied Mantle and Jackson for the all-time lead in post season homers (18). .....although he's had more AB's than either, obviously.

[FlJoePa]

I don't like this move. I'd like to see Willis pitch in "clean inning" situations, like after double switches and pinch hits. I don't like him inheriting runners - he is nervous enough as it is.

Check out post 250! LOL

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

There's a story going around (not sure if true, but it's been out there for years) that David Wells drank heavily the night before his perfect game at Yankee Stadium.

[Pikamax]

Hey Grady Little! see, when your pitcher is done, you pull him as fast as you can....

[lavrenti]

Dontrelle? This will be fun.

I expect him to throw the first pitch into the mesh fence.

The second grooved down the plate for a two-run blast.

[F16Fighter]

"Matsui needs to do a belly to belly."

Kak and Hideki??

[lavrenti]

Yo Grady, yo Dusty!

This is baseball. This is what managers do.
