That once-in-a-lifetime moment... yea, that happened last night... to Kenny Rogers... it's very hard not to say "wtf, mate?" to the game, but Kenny Rogers pitched a heck of a game...
I can't be very mad at Randy... if some things went differently in the 2nd inning (Bobby playing the ball better, the call at 3rd changing, Giambi throwing straight to 2nd on the pickoff, Cano diving to stop and make a play, etc.), Randy would have yielded 2 runs at best...
It was a balls-out effort from Randy, who pitched upwards to 98 mph... but it fell short because of the Yankee bats falling silent...
On the 28th of September, I wrote:
However, I can see only one point being made here: If the Yankees fail to win the World Series with this line-up, it would truly be a team failure on all accounts. No excuses, putting it all on A-Rod (though Sheffield and Matsui didn't come through more often than not during last year's ALDS)... if we lose, it's a team effort, for a team with 9 All-Stars should not be able to make excuses...I stand by that statement, and last night's game proved it... it was a team effort that they lost...
The season fall on the arm of Jaret Wright and beating up on Jeremy Bonderman... this is the last shot for the Yankees to recapture that playoff magic... if they recapture it, the Yankees will have movitation going into Sunday's game... if not, well... I'll have my offseason plans in a week or two., consisting of "crazy" things like firing Joe Torre.
Times are getting crazy, and my playoff beard is starting to get itchy...
Either put something together, Yankees, or go home... and don't cry if the door hits you on the way out...
Happy reading!
