Stunned silence
—
Hard to find the words to adequately describe this game, from a Yanks fan's perspective. However, this nonchalant catch by Cliff Lee on Damon's pop-up ( to the right* ) might have been the most emblematic of the night for the Yanks: It was too easy . Let's get to some of the points ...

Kneejerk Reactions: Game 1
ESPN Feed: neyer rob — ... available, Girardi's patience with Hughes may be wearing a bit thin. Historical Perspective: If not for Rollins' error in the ninth, Lee might well have become the first pitcher in 40 tries to shut out the Yankees in a World Series opener. Among the dozens who tried and failed were Hall of Famers Carl Hubbell (twice), Warren Spahn (twice), Sandy Koufax, Don Sutton, John Smoltz, Greg Maddux, and Curt Schilling. For more ...

CAN THE YANKS WIN THE WORLD SERIES WITHOUT PHIL HUGHES?

The game reminded me of Opening Day at the new Yankee Stadium. In both ...
