Yes, but most teams have injuries to key players at some point. Not quite as extensive at that, but still. With Cabrera and Williams instead of Matsui and Sheffield, they lost some runs, but not as many as you'd think. Both of those guys played pretty well.

I just did some research on the most dangerous lineup ever. They are the 51st-highest-scoring team in American League history, 16th-best in the last thirteen years. In runs scored per game against league average (a much better criterion), they are 61st (a four-way tie). In the last fifty years, 19th (a two-way tie). In the last twenty years, 12th (a two-way tie). In the last ten, 8th. In the last five, 4th. In the last two, 2nd. So there you have it: the 2006 Yankees are the most awesome group of sluggers ever assembled. Since the 2005 Red Sox.

The Detroit shortstop outplayed the New York shortstop. But is he ready for Michael Jordan?

I want the A's to win so I don't have to hear any more about Tiger Magic. They beat the Y's because they were a better team. Nothing magical about it.

Herschel Walker won the Cy Young? How did I miss that? -

Mets baserunning has been great all game. Except LoDuca getting thrown out in the first. -

Their outfield defense looks really bad. -
In a Schadenfreude sort of way, this is as much fun as I've had watching a ballgame.

Sliding Billy Hamilton.

Well, Casey did get fired after that.

This is starting to be fun.

Umps blow the call on a ball that lands right on the third base line. Home plate umpire makes up for it by blowing a call on a fat strike three. Ball four, one out, one on.

Does he talk about Saito's Little League curveball?
-
If ARod got four hits and no one else got any, it would just prove how selfish he was. Not a team player.
-
Where did this idea come from that it's a massive upset if the Tigers win a single game? I know the Yankees came on strong while the Tigers faded, they've been here before, they've got the huge payroll and the famous players. But these two teams over the season were only two games apart. The Yankees have much better hitting; the Tigers have much better pitching. This is a good matchup, with an edge to the Yankees, but not an enormous one.
-
That would seem the obvious answer. Glavine and Maddux have actually pitched quite well in the postseason--they've both essentially pitched a full season with good ERA's. They both also have losing records, but I'd say that's the team's fault.
-
Thom Brenneman claimed last night that the playoffs are much tougher than the regular season for pitchers like Glavine and Maddux (meaning pitchers who have to hit their spots to be effective) because the strike zone is narrower and because (though I might have misheard him on this part) it's a special playoff rule that the opposing manager is allowed to send monkeys out onto the field to distract control pitchers. Tom Glavine's lifetime regular season ERA: 3.46 Tom Glavine's lifetime postseason ERA: 3.47 Greg Maddux's lifetime regular season ERA: 3.07 Greg Maddux's lifetime postseason ERA: 3.22 Roger Clemens is a power pitcher who presumably doesn't have to hit his spots to be effective.

"What a year this kid had." Saito is 36 years old. He did have a great year, though.

We just learned that Kuo has icewater in his veins. Is that a common condition in Taiwan? What's the best way to treat it?
-
Yes, but he only sucks in New York. I mean, he's an asshole everywhere, but in the boondocks, he can pitch.
-
He's also an even worse fielder than Jeter. And he's not good-looking.
-
According to baseball-reference.com, which already has the stats for this season up, Carlos Guillen created slightly more runs per nine innings this year than MVP-to-be Derek Jeter. But of course Carlos doesn't have all those intangibles.

It depends what you mean by "let him go."

That play doesn't happen if Kent reads the ball properly. The throw might not even have come through, and with the spacing between the runners, Donnelly would have been able to stop Drew. Which doesn't exactly make it Kent's fault, since misjudgments like that happen all the time, and this isn't usually the result.
