Where was this Contreras last year? He is freaking NASTY.

5-0. Clement is done.

TERRIBLE AB by Hernandez.

Carpenter pulled after warning ump for the 7th. That can't be good for Cardinals fans. Edit: Cramps in his hand.

10 o'clock eastern time? FUCK. Since when does baseball care about the west coast for the playoffs? I don't remember the Yankees playing a 10 o'clock eastern time game against the Athletics or Angels in the three series they've played in since 01. Grr to not having home field.

On the otherhand, when was the last time the Yankees had an afternoon playoff game? I cannot remember any.

Starting Chacon over Small would be a big mistake- altho Chacon didn't look good at all coming out of the 'pen either... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How so? Chacon has given up one run in his last 22 innings beside today of course. And I wouldn't even take today as anything, it was his bullpen session day, and he was just getting some work in.

I'm most worried about the Yankees pitching and middle relief. I don't know one reliever beside Gordan and Mo who are guaranteed to be on the post season roster, which is pretty sad.

Ouch. What a terrible way to see your postseason hopes end. I thought that was a single.

1st and 2nd 1 out for Cubs.

I thought 03 was one of the best really. Beside the amazing Yankee/Sox series, and the great Cubs/Marlins series, you had the terrific Marlins/Giants series which ended with a Giant getting throw out at the plate.

Plaxico Burress, 6 receptions, over 100+ yard recieving, and 2 TDs in the first half.

Hell no.

With the Giants pass defence? I don't think so.

Giants have already have more three and out stops then they did last week.

I don't think Small will be starting in the post season. He'll be used in middle relief, with RJ, Moose, Wang and Chacon starting, I think.

Soriano Ks with a chance to give the Rangers the lead in the 7th, and grounds out with the tying run on 3rd in the 9th. Oh well, couldn't be that good a day. In better news, K-Rod looks very human, and very overworked.

Why would the Mets move Wright away from 3rd? While i don't know any of those stats that prove why Jeter really sucks at SS, I know that Wright, while making a lot of rookie errors, is a really good third baseman.

Thats what I thought. Its not going to be completley full of scrubs. matsui will obviously be in the lineup. I Think A-Rod will, Jeter, Cano and I think Posada. Sheff and Giambi and Bernie most likely won't. But even with their best lineup, whats it going to do with Jarret Wright pitching?

For any Sox fans wondering, Torre just announced that Jarret Wright is starting tomorrow instead of Mussina.

What are you talking about? It was clearly fair.

Wasn't even close to being foul. But Ugh, you need to shut them down after a three spot Randy. Fucking ay. edit: I could see why he was bitching though. Close ones down the LF line don't usually happen at Fenway, and if they do, there usually foul.

I thought I overreacted, and maybe was just frustrated, but theres a seven page thread on a Yankee board I visit that complained about the umping. In a nutshell: http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?innuv7aexj4

How about you pinch hit and give Konerko or Dye a shot to give you a run? I know you don't wanna be killing your bullpen Ozzie! edit: YES! THANK YOU GLOWD!

Not the Yankees fault they had to swing at everything. The ump really did change the face of this game.
