Clemens wouldn't have lost regardless of the outcome once the Yanks tied the score...
I don't mind getting beat, but having Weaver pitch in ANY game is unfair to the team AND the fans.
I know... I wanted the Marlins to win, but didn't want Clemens to have a loss to his name, so the outcome was perfect from this fan's standpoint.
And just who was complainin' about the Yankees vs Marlins World Series? It has been great so far.
For what it's worth, lots of Yankee fans at MLB.com's message board think Mo should have come in. I don't normally fault Joe, whose moves have paid off most of the time, but pitching Jeff Weaver, a head case if ever there was one, in a tie game on the road in the World Series, in a sudden-death inning (9th or later) is essentially throwing the game. The Yankees had Heredia and White still available, plus Mo. Joe seems to have a soft spot for Jeff, and seemed to want to find a way to get him into a World Series game, maybe to boost his confidence. After Weaver's 1-2-3 inning, Joe should have counted his blessings, and put in at LEAST Heredia or White, guys used to pitching in relief.
Still, it wasn't game 7, and the Yankees now have home-field advantage in a best of three series, with Wells, Pettitte, and Mussina scheduled. Gotta like those odds. I'd bet Mo would go four innings in a World Series game 7 if it came down to it.
