These game days have a lot of threads lately which I think tends to gum up the discourse a bit. But whatever, there is a game thread now. [18] Okay, assuming this is the game thread.

However, I don't think Lee will underestimate anyone. Doesn't seem to be his style. Enrique Wilson-I completely forgot about him. Oy.

I wonder with whom. Knowing Girardi, it's probably either Guzman or Cervelli. Seems like they’re trying to replace Melky on the roster. I wonder with whom.

Lee might underestimate him though, and that might be useful. Playing JHJ in CF because of his handedness would have been as silly to me as starting <strike>Enrique Wilson</strike>JHJ against Pedro because of 27 ABs that all happened before 2004. So I take this as a sign that Girardi is getting smarter and learning from his mistakes! [21] I don’t think it will rattle Lee, but I haven’t given up on Gardner.

But who knows? It took extra innings to get us over 2000 back in the ALCS, so I think even a win (if in 9 innings) won't get us there again. I think we'll get into the 1700s tonight - say 1776, just because. They are the Yankees, after all.

I'm surprised to see no advocates for taking a dive tonight so you can win on your home field (j/k). Not conceding anything but, it looks pretty bleak. FWIW, last night I had a feeling of confidence and tonight it's dread and resignation. Lee is bound to have a hiccup this postseason. If my gut feeling for tonight is anything like how I picked NFL games yesterday, your guys are screwed. All kidding aside, the Yankees have played like worthy champs in this series. If the dispatch the Phils tonight, or later this week, I hope you'll refrain from rifling the pockets of the corpse and from mutilating it so that their loved ones are afforded the comfort of an open casket.
