1. As to Matsui's home run, I thought only Vlad Guerrero swung at pitches like that.
2. Pedro sure knows how to quick pitch. Just ask Jeter; the guy walking back to the dugout.
3. Computer Boy says that "majestic" music that Fox is playing in between some of the innings sounds like funeral music. Cannot disagree. Don't they use focus groups at all?
4. I know that Matt Stairs is a pretty good pinch hitter and all but Buck and McCarver made him out to be the second coming of Roy Hobbs as he approached the plate. It's only Matt Stairs you know; and he proved it.
5. This can't be happening again with the umpiring. I would love to be the negotiator for major league baseball in the upcoming negotiations with the umpire's union this winter. Just bring a DVD player. That one should go pretty quick.
6. Who made Tim McCarver God? Nobody expects a bunt with two strikes so why not try it? Jeter was not necessarily "wrong". Charlie Manuel's decision not to send the runners, while maybe not what I would have done, is defensible to stay out of a strike out/throw em out result. It is not necessarily a "wrong" decision. How many games has this guy managed? Where is Deion Sanders and his bucket of water when you need him?
