    Still, I feel really good about going up there and taking 2 of 3. Yankee Stadium doesn't seem as intimidating as the old stadium. I guess that is what happens when you price out your loyal fans and force them upstairs (looking at you Jerry Jones).


    That's why the new stadium is weird to me. At the old stadium, it was automatic people would stand when a Yankee pitcher has two strikes. Now it seems like they need reminding, especially in the lower two seating areas.

    No, none were Yankees.

    Well, maybe another hint would be nice. Pretty wide range of pitchers to pick from...

    One is a Dodger Hall of Famer from the Los Angeles era, Another was a Red Sox in the 1986 ALCS. The other three pitched in World Series games in the 1920s and 1930s for the Indians, Athletics and Senators. Sabathia was the first to do this in an elimination game.

    Is Tommy John a hall of famer? Oh - maybe Drysdale.
    Red Sox... Clemens prob didn't give up 11 hits - who else pitched for them? Eh, I don't know.
    A's - Only one I can think of is Lefty Grove. He was probably too good to give up 11 hits.
    Senators - um Walter Johnson? Obviously I don't know any other 20s or 30s Senators pitchers.
    Indians - no fucking clue

    I'm happy to get 2 of them. I see the others are Bruce Hurst, Monte Weaver & Jim Ragby, of course. :? Never heard of the last 2.

    and moving on - Kerry Wood is the ninth pitcher to record multiple pick offs in a postseason series, anyone care the name the previous eighth. Seven of the eight were lefthanded.
