I was surprised Pedro came out to start the 8th.

I was surprised that Pedro was not lifted when Little came to the mound.

I wasn't surprised by anything after that.

You'll need to register, it's free and worth it.

BTW, I heard someone on the radio this morning say the Babe's curse has been lifted but there's a new curse: Zim's curse.

Thanks Pedro.

...and something for you folks north of the Milford-Albany line to enjoy:

Big sigh of relief. Since I'm in Florida for the weekend, I will be a Marlins fan.

Of course it doesn't hurt that they beat the Evil Empire!

Jurassic Referee

Yankees shoulda won- except for the fact that they were out-hit, out-pitched, out-defensed, out-hustled, out......

Geeze, $180 million just can't buy ya what it used to!

Congratulations to the Marlins- well-deserved CHAMPIONS!

Dan_ref

Ah well, it coulda been worse...they could have lost to Boston. FWIW I have my theory as to why they let the lowly Marlins get by them: with all those hexes, curses & ghosts residing at the stadium none of them had any effect on the Marlins. So you'll be seeing some big changes this winter in the Bronx, starting with the announcement of a new VP of Voodoo reporting directly to the boss. As a first step look for a number of high priced prospects imported from the Carribean - mostly fat old ladies with experience in animal sacrifice and spirit conjuring.

Remember you read it here first.

Do you mean:
Bucky F. Dent?
Billy F. Buckner?
Aaron F. Boone?

Isn't it amazing that they all have the same middle name? If you're not sure what that name is, just ask Chuck.

Wow. I have to say, I don't understand that decision. JR, you say "buhbye, Manny", but who is really going to take him? His contract is so huge that it's highly probable that nobody's going to be willing to grab him off waivers. So he'll probably still be with the Sox on Saturday, and then what have you really done? All you've done is make him even more moody and less likely to want to play hard. I'm stumped. I'm an ardent Manny-supporter, and have been mocked for it. But I really don't get what Theo hopes to accomplish with this move.

Exactly! At $20M a year, even George isn't dumb enough to claim him. I had the same thoughts as you when I read the article. I was mystified why they they would do that.There's no upside to the move that I can think of.

PS- 14 pages and still rolling!

If this thread is still active on Opening Day 2004, then we'll really have accomplished something!!

I don't know what we'll have accomplished, but it'll be something!! 🙂

I just read yesterday that the waiver decision was made partly b/c Manny has expressed the desire to leave the team. Apparently, he's hoping the Yankees will want him; but he wants out, regardless. Supposedly, this is at least partly b/c he got along so well with Grady.
