World Series Game 1: Get off the ledge, everyone! It's only one game!
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 10/29/2009 — Last night was a bad loss, but it's still only one game. One game, not four, unless they somehow changed the rules and are giving the World Series trophy to the Phillies just because they dominated the Yankees in Game 1. The game reminded me of Opening Day at the new Yankee Stadium. In both ...

The Second Guess: CC in the 8th
riveraveblues.com 10/17/2009 — When the 8th inning rolled around last night, the Yanks held a close but comfortable 4-1 lead over the Angels. CC Sabathia had thrown his 98th pitch to strike out Mike Napoli in the 7th, and he left with a fist pump and roar. Would be the Big Man ...
