"You understand a five game series is a crapshoot, basically."
Seriously? I feel like you probably didn't say that after any of the five game series that you have won.
"Alex Rodriguez started the series 0 for 6 in the first two games in Cleveland, but when the chips were down and his team needed him most, he dug down deep and bounced back with four hits in Games 3 and 4, including a gargantuan home run Monday night that drew his team within striking distance. Despite these herculean efforts from the best player in the game, the Yankees could not overcome a late, dramatic GIDP by series goat Derek Jeter, his third of the series in only seventeen at bats. Jeter, a reliable on base presence in the two hole during the regular season, looked uncomfortable all series long, never getting into a groove and finishing with a 0.176 OBP with no walks in the series." -FJM, of course.Pos: "One final question: Will the New York writers tear apart Derek Jeter for having one of the most un-clutch series I can remember a player having?"
I think we all know the answer to that...
Exclusive?

If La Russa is the next yankee skipper i don't know what i'll do... it would just destroy my whole worldview. but it will be funny to see Steinbrenner's reactions to his style, cause there's no way he'll like it. the best thing for the yankees about the possible aquisition of La Russa will be Duncan, though (Dave, that is). he is best possible person to run that young staff. and being his (Dave Duncan's) other son's coach will help the cause for los jankees. we'll see what happens. poor Joe...tear.
