\"Hanging
\nSo we lost. Again. Game Two. Martinez v. Lieber.
\nOkay, where are all these Yankee aces coming from? No, really. Mussina and Lieber? Jon Lieber<\/em>?
\nWhat’s with this home-plate umpire debauchery? Let’s call a strike a strike folks, and a ball a ball.
\nWill the real Johnny Damon please stand up?
\nAnd the real Mark Bellhorn … and Manny Ramirez … and David Ortiz … and Kevin Millar … and Trot Nixon … and Jason Varitek … and Orlando Cabrera … and Bill Mueller.
\nY’know, the guys who are patient and wait for their hit? And don’t hack?
\nCan we get some run support for Vintage Pedro<\/a>?
\nCan Curt’s ankle please heal?
\nCan we win a game?
\nYes, we can win a game.<\/em>
\nThe Yankees are 57-24 at home. 44-37 on the road.<\/em>
\nThe Red Sox are 55-26 at home. 43-38 on the road.<\/em>
\nIt’s very concievable we can – boom – take the next three games and head back to New York sitting pretty on a 3-2 lead. OK, maybe we aren’t sitting pretty at that point because we’re back in New York … but hey, we got two games to clinch.<\/em>
\nWe got Bronson Arroyo going in Game Three who has, so far, proven himself to be a Big Game Pitcher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
