What a game -- this one will be on ESPN Classic about 25 times. And that's just next week!
Seventy-two-year-old Yankee bench coach Don Zimmer was slammed to the turf during a bench-clearing brawl with the Boston Red Sox. You may not think this has anything to do with the liberal renaissance, but Zimmers Yankees represent the evils of unregulated, unrepentant capitalism, and the teams cockiness often reaches Bush administration levels. To see him slammed to the turf was admittedly appalling, but that doesnt mean I couldnt enjoy it.

Actually, all too believable.
And that guff about George " buying " the win is a pathetic, LIBERAL, whinge that should NOT even ever see the light of day/night on FR. EVERY team " buys " players. Some have more money than others, some have a better farm system than others, but NO baseball team is always an 100% farm team group, which is also an EXPENSE!
The Red Sox are under the " CURSE OF THE BAMBINO ", because their owner was more interested in producing " NO,NO,NANNETTE", than keeping/paying Ruth. So, in efect, the owner SOLD his best assest, for M-O-N-E-Y...only to allow the owner of the Yankees to " buy " him and the rest of that great dynasty.
There's something sick, about supposed Conservatives to be yowling about the free market/business! ;^)
And don't forget the members of the team...almost ALL of them HATED, REVILED, ABHORED Clinton! They should be made honorary members of FR, at the very least; not vilified.
Lost in (some) Red Sox fans' whining about the Yankee payroll is the fact that Boston itself has the 3rd highest payroll in the league.
To use the image of a cowboy, for a Boston team, is beyond silly/inexplicable/oxymoronic.But thank you very much, for your side of the explination.
Just keep right on imagining the " next year " thingie...if it helps you any. It just is NOT going to come true.
Good point. The problem is that this scenario is a common dilemma for visiting managers in games that run into extra innings. Because the home team will always have a chance to tie or win the game in the bottom of an inning even if the visiting team scores the go-ahead run in the top of the inning, a visiting manager will often save his closer in extra innings just in case the team scores the go-ahead run and needs the closer to get three outs in the bottom of the inning.
Ironically (and this is a scary thought for Yankee fans), the ideal pitcher in a long extra-inning game was sitting right in the Yankee bullpen -- Jeff Weaver. As a regular-season starter who hasn't been used at all, he would have been able to pitch as many as six or seven innings if needed. It would have been amazing for this game to come down to this: an inconsistent, often-inept pitcher like Weaver against a dwindling group of Red Sox pitchers running out of gas.
Well, I'm off to read the online sports section of the Boston Globe and then to sleep.
26 World Series rings, soon to be 27 :)
Yep, you are dead right. Dusty Baker blew both games (6 and 7) by keeping his starters in too long. Ironic, how both the Cubs and Red Sox lost because their managers refused to go to the pen.
And now we have a Yankess/Marlins World Series. Who in the hell cares about that? I'm sure FOX execs are banging on their heads on their desks after missing out on a glorious opportunity to feature either the Cubs or Red Sox.
As far as I'm concerned, the baseball season is over with. I won't watch watch a single pitch of the World Series. Instead, its college football from here on out.
I'm not using this as an excuse (in fact, I'm a Yankee fan) -- I'm simply pointing out the honest truth here.
