No need to be so hyperbolic, Jeff.

The Yankees winning will not destroy the sport.

but this morning, quietly hanging on the coatrack, was a venerable satin Yankees jacket.

I wonder what would have happened...

Had we kept Raul and he was part of those 2002 and 2003 teams? Fuck. Oh well, I think the Phillies are going to win this Series now.

Don't fool yourself.

The odds still heavily favor the Yankees, even with Pettite and Sabathia going on three days’ rest.

He would have sat on the bench and continued not playing and probably never developed into a player

Even if he started, we would have never acquired Randy Winn, which means no JoeJessica or Foppert. That’s not a world I want to live in

Yeah, this series is good... but overall a pretty disappointing and lame playoffs.

I mean, game 163 was far, far more entertaining than any game thus far in the playoffs.

by lailaihei on Nov 2, 2009 8:30 PM PST up reply actions  

Agree, maybe the best game ever.

Besides

Imagine if our hated rivals the Padres had won. I shudder to think how this would affect the already bitter winter of our rivalry.

by Zygomorphic on Nov 2, 2009 9:34 PM PST up reply actions  

Many great moments to be sure

but personally I can’t stand when a game is decided by the umps. The Rockies probably would have won anyway, but they shouldn’t have won that way.

by stupidquestions on Nov 2, 2009 9:35 PM PST up reply actions  

Meh.

That was a great game, with a great ending. To me it looked like he touched the plate, and I’ve never really seen anything absolute that shows otherwise.

by Goose on Nov 2, 2009 9:37 PM PST up reply actions  

Upon further reflection, you're right

The play really wasn’t all that clear. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. So you have a good point about that. And I never denied that the game had great moments, and the ending was exciting, but the only thing is I guess I wish it was more clear. As do you guys, I’m sure, I like to KNOW that the winner was rightful, but still y’all are right that it was overall a classic.
