Thanks to Ron Washington being an idiot and choosing to pitch to him in the 7th.
Dumb.
How about this stat...
There are only 4 players in MLB history with WS-winning hits in TWO different World Series:
1) Lou Gehrig
2) Joe Dimaggio
3) Yogi Berra
4) Edgar Renteria
No kidding. I thought Lee was pitching around him and then, for whatever reason, he leaves something out over the plate to crush. Irritating.
I do have to ask, how much does it suck to lose the World Series? I'm not trying to be a jerk; I'm a Cubs fan and have no personal experience with the World Series.
In a postgame interview, Lee took complete responsibilty for the pitch. He said he didn't throw around batters all year, and didn't think he had to on that 0-2 pitch to Edgar. Lee said that Edgar just made a great play out of it.
But the good thing about this may be that the Yanks may no longer want Lee after his two WS losses, which will make it easier for the Rangers to keep him.
you got that right!! Wash seemed to make several wrong moves with pitching this WS like in game 2 bottom of 8th sgould have brought in feliz.. why do you leave Holland in to throw 13 BALLS???
