I still can't believe Brenly lifted Schilling. I'll never know what he was thinking with that move, which IMHO will cost the D-Backs the Series.

...will cost the D-backs the series...

Heh heh heh. With any luck. I'm just sad they won't be in the Big Apple to clinch it.

It may have cost us the series, but I do understand why he did it. Yanks got some knocks on Schilling in the 7th and maybe Brenley thought that if he left Schilling in, the Yanks would knock him around some more in the 8th. If Brenley had left Schilling in and he coughed up runs to the Yanks, the detractors would have said, what do you expect from a guy pitching on only 3 days rest.

In hindsight, Brenley probably should have let him start the 8th and then only took him out if he got into trouble.

As a Die-hard D-backs fan (I know, is that possible for a team that's only 4 years old) I'm still root, root, rooting for the Snakes, but it's obvious they've got a tougher road to travel now...

GO D-BACKS!!!!

Agree. Schilling threw 88 pitches and was dominating. Kim threw 63 and gave up three runs in gopher balls. Bad, bad move, Bob. I hope the Snakes can recover. The series is tied, but the Yankees are ahead.

I was just curious what is being said about that boneheaded move. What has Curt said about it? When I watched it last night I said to myself there goes the game. all that talk about Curt starting. He proves he is big time and they lift him. BAD move and sure enough.
