As a Metropolitan fan and wannabe crack-committee member, I agree wholeheartedly with the left-wing clymer author. The whole tone of the broadcast has been pro Yankee/NY (which is somewhat understandable due to 9/11) and the reverential treatment of the Yankees is patronizing. The only players that matter on the D'backs are Johnson & Schilling.
The Series is tied, and it's been great to watch. The Yankees have been winning with late-inning dramatics, and the D'backs have been awful in the field in Yankee Stadium.
I think tonite's game is critical; if the D'backs can pull this one out, I don't think that the Yanks can win two in a row against J & S in AZ.
If the Yankees win tonite, they still have to beat J or S in AZ.
The Yankees not splitting the first two games will be their undoing this time, IMO.
But then again, I thought the Mets were going to win in 5 last year, so what the hell do I know...
Go Schundler!

One more thing about this columnist saying there was a pro-Yankee bias by FOX: if that were the case, then why didn't we get to see Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto, and Yogi Berra before the game (I think they threw out the first pitch, but FOX didn't show it).

How do they not start their best pitcher in game one? Or even game two? All their excuses are pure BS ("he's hurt...he's not been that sharp lately")...I'm sure Schilling would've buzzed one by his head just for Mikey's sake. I hope he pitches on Sunday against RJ if they get to seven.
