Game 4
By rshellman
Blogging after a Yankee win is like having to cut the grass, so first two points on the great articles (read em!) by Vescey and Gammons.
- Watching Benny Agbanyi play (at least after his first two months) was never "appealing" - I've never seen a professional athlete who bounced so much. Who was running the Mets and thought this guy was a necessary part of the team? No wonder the Yankees win - they look at guys like that and release them.
- Taking the time to read or listen to Peter Gammons is another one of those lazy yet enjoyable ways to spend time during summer. However, I wonder if he owes too much loyalty to Boston; in his post-season predictions he has the Bosox dispose of the Yankees in seven without comment and picks their supernaturally burdened cousins the Cubs to take it all.
- With game four completed, those of us who root against the Pinstripers have to balance concern and small rays of hope. We're concerned that ARod, Sheffield, and Wilson all made some impressive defensive plays today - most of which Soriano wouldn't have made. We're concerned that Brown is 2-0 and unhittable so far. There is a ray of hope that this team might night be the offensive juggernaut we think it is - only once in four games have they scored more than four runs. There's also a ray of hope that Mariano had a small Benitez-esque moment and actually allowed a runner to score in the ninth.
Let's just hope they can't play winning ball outside a dome either.
