Very amped up - like standing up front at the stage before the house lights drop. Can't sit still. Can't concentrate. The distraction of the game is swirling around my consciousness all day long. I'm like Carly Simon in that ketchup commercial. The anticipation is killing me. Non stop anxiety.

"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me." Let's get to game time!

lineup is out, no real shocks.

Derek Jeter SS
Johnny Damon LF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Hideki Matsui DH
Jorge Posada C
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Brett Gardner CF

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

After the Monday night offensive juggernaut that was batters 5-9 (yes, I'm sarcastic), it is a pleasure to see balance is restored in our universe. Matsui, it is so nice to have you back.

Go Yankees!!!

[3] As awful as Gardy has been, he has been little worse than Melky was. So the Yankees have effectively the same lineup that they started the WS with. If the chips are down, the can still PH for Gardner and use Hairston in CF, or even put Swisher (or Damon!!) in CF. If the chips are really down, that is.

Phew. Dodged the Hairston bullet. Thanks Joe.

Lupica just said it ends tonight...we're so fucked.

Great music choice!

Add me to the list of people feeling pumped up and jittery!

220 more minutes, and it feels like years!!

[6] When Melky is up, I still feel that something can happen by accident.

With Gardner, I feel like he's going to take strike one and and strike two right down the middle, and then we have to hope that someone in the field falls down.

[0],[9] Poor Righteous Teachers was so onnit until Wise went all >5 Percent on everyone...

[10] That's interesting, given that Gardner's OBP was higher than Melky's this year. I guess a lot of people in the field fell down this year.

Love this song! I'm ready!!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Congrats everyone!
