Pedro should be on the mound. We hate that guy.

Andy should be on the mound. We love that guy.

Game 6 will be decided by the bullpens as neaither pitcher is likely to get past the 7th.

I really like the Yankees chances, and the way that they hit last night against Lee is encouraging. Pedro will be facing a lineup that isn’t as tight as they were in Game 2. I think Little Pedro will be heading to the showers by the 3rd inning.

Zim is going to be waiting for Pedro in the parking lot, and it’s going to be go time.

[19] I dunno, given the resume of most hitting coaches around the league, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

I can’t decide if the Banterites are whistling past the graveyard or genuinely so confident they risk offending the Baseball Gods! I am never, ever ‘confident’ regarding a single game, and especially not with a 37 year old 100 pitches at the best of times beloved starter going. I will dream of 5 decent innings from Andy, as I said earlier, and then cross a lot of fingers that a) we’re ahead of Pedro and b) the pen rises up and slays the Phanatic Phools before giving it to Mo.

But do I sit here today in any sublime expectation that this shall be so?

You gotta be kidding. And I’ll be as much a basket case as Alex [2] and the others above, if we play a 7th.

Maybe william can calm us all down?

[19] I think his strategy will be “This is what I did. Don’t do it that way.”

I believe this team will not be timid and accept the challenge. 103 W’s means something and they’ve been battle-tested. It ends tomorrow night.

[4] How could anyone who ever watched Bam-Bam Meulens play think he could teach anyone anything about hitting? What’s his advice going to be, “Swing early and often?” The guy could strike out 3 times before he got dressed!

Coke wants the ball back.

Don’t give it to him.

[16] I was just sad after 2001. But I was frustrated, furious and embarrassed after all the other failures.

[14] I think saying the past 9 years has been a series of humiliations might be a bit strong, but yeah I agree they should (and can, and just might) end it tomorrow.

[14] Agreed on both counts. And as many on here have stated, they screw the pooch, they don’t deserve to win it.

And lord, if it goes 7, I’ll be in the ER & heavily drinking.
