Thanks for the kind words, Steve. The Bugs Bunny reference is hilarious, a great reference to a classic cartoon. It was nice to have you by, and I'll keep a digital leather recliner open for you in the future. There is an HDLR for a game in the Yanks' series against Cleveland, but I'm not sure which day it is yet. Feel free to come by, though it might coincide with a Red Sox game.
Games like yesterday really work the gut. The Red Sox are really tough and resilient, and I didn't feel comfortable in the slightest when it got to 7-3 Yankees. Heck, I only figured it was "probably" unnecessary to use Mariano when it was 15-9. In those games and in general against Boston, I don't breathe easily until the final out. I was that way even BEFORE the 2004 ALCS comeback.
Keep up the good work. http://heartlandpinstripes.wordpress.com/
hey steve, loved watching that cartoon again-
enjoyed your comments at jason's place- come back anytime.
that was quite a game- not as enjoyable as some of the other marathons in the last couple of years. of course the end worked out ok or me, but a 51 minute inning does get a little tedious. mike
Before I forget Steve, congratulations on being #2 at Top 100 Baseball Sites. That's very impressive out of all the blogs. You do good work here, so I'm not surprised.
Win or lose, I love the fact these games take forever to play, as I wrote today http://brnxbomb2.mlblogs.com/ What's your take?
Speaking of Mussina, I am still stuck on last Saturday - the only logical reason I can think of why Girardi left Moose in to face Manny after Ramirez had already hit a 700ft bomb off of him is to give Moose a shot of confidence. Manny did go off the plate to get his RBI's, he hit a good pitch. But at the end of the day, regardless of Bruney being unable to get Youkilis anyway, he is still Manny Ramirez, put him on with first base open and take your chances with the next guy, right? I mean it's not as if it's the first or second inning and Sandy Koufax is on the mound, right?
Thanks again Jason. Not sure I can contribute much to future sessions unless the games are televised nationally. I usually pick up the Extra Innings package at the second half of the season at an affordable price.
Mike, you seem like you know baseball pretty well. What, no blog?

Steve, anytime you can toss in a Gas-House Gorillas reference you know you are doing something right. That's good stuff.
