I won't comment on the political reference, and I never really cared for the Whalers, as I'm not a hockey fan.

CT is plagued by being right smack in between two huge sports markets (NY, Boston), so we stand little or no chance of landing another major sports team. It doesn't bother me either way, because my loyalties are already set and have been for many years. One thing that's cool though, is that I can step out of my front door and be at a number of huge sports places such as Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, Fleet Center... all in approximately two hours.

OK, maybe the Yankees should have completed that Lee trade.

Hi-Def Steve · 10-19-2010, 01:27 AM

They almost got Lee for a run right there...almost.

sfmarine · 10-19-2010, 01:29 AM

Ya...I was just thinking the same thing. The yanks can't catch a break with lee..he is smoking them.

They are running up his pitch count though. Lee has already thrown 65 pitches in 4 innings. Knocking him out of the game may be their only hope.

That's a good point. I liked how swish spoiled 9 pitches...lee won the battle though but as you mentioned we are wearing him down.

Hi-Def Steve · 10-19-2010, 01:53 AM

Wow...and a collective sigh of relief drapes NY.

Sigh, the Mariners had no interest in trading Lee to the Yankees. They only used the Yankees so they get get the Rangers to give them Justin Smoak. Really, how many times do we have to go over this?

Wingman1977 · 10-19-2010, 02:37 AM

I don't believe we're winning tonight.

Looking less likely. I figured Lee's pitch count was getting to high too early but it appears he's still lights out at 109 pitches. Still... it's only 2-0. Pettitte pitched a fantastic game.

I think this is true. If the Rangers make it to the World Series, I wonder if Cashman will hold a grudge against the Mariners for a while.

I don't know what frustrates me more... that the Yankees can't do anything against Lee, or that Pettitte's outing is being completely wasted.

I still think it would've been better to have Burnett pitch tonight. That way if the Yankees only got 2 hits, who cares, because Burnett would've probably given up 20 runs anyway. One might argue you should never anticipate a loss, but if true, by extension, you should never anticipate a Burnett loss. So now, if all ends up as expected, you still lose the game you figured you'd lose anyway, and all your good pitchers get their day of rest.

Pettitte's pitching tonight would've won Game 1 (though they did anyway), 2, and probably 4, 5, or 6. But because it came in Game 3, it's been wasted.

Hi-Def Steve · 10-19-2010, 02:47 AM

Lee is putting on an absolute clinic tonight. They'd be foolish to take him out in the 9th despite the pitch count.

I think you're right there.

AL record for K's in a playoff game is 15. Cliff Lee has 13 K's after 8 innings.

Wingman1977 · 10-19-2010, 03:05 AM

Anyone have a towel to throw in?

ChadFL · 10-19-2010, 03:07 AM

Really ashame for Pettitte. This is one of his most impressive post-season starts and his team completely let him down. It's getting ugly now at 6-0.

If I'm Girardi I bring back Sabathia for game 4. You just can't take a chance on falling behind 3-1.

SteelPen · 10-19-2010, 03:11 AM

Ok Texas, save some runs for tomorrow!

If Burnett pitches as Girardi claims you probably don't need to worry.

Hi-Def Steve · 10-19-2010, 03:18 AM

Was Girardi trying to punish that pitcher or something, about time he got him out of there.
