    CC !
    the fixer video wrapping up the fox broadcast was just icing on the cake! what a nice surprise. cool camera angles too. my dad actually called me afterwards asking what song that was. he then said he was immediately going to buy the song


    was this only in the teams' markets ?

    The addition of the Angels and Yankees ' Logos jumping around on the superimposed screens behind Eddie and The Boys was too much ! Excellent !



    Lets Go Yankees !
    Gonna be even more disgusting out there tonight weatherwise.

    I don't like saying it but IF the Yankees don't win the World Series this year something is totally wrong. They appear to have this one in the Bag.

    That game was completely nuts. I'm just really happy they pulled off the win. I swear I thought it was over after cano made that error in the 13th.

    For those that care about minutia:

    -Of Alex Rodriguez's 33 home runs this year (including playoffs) 18 have tied or given the Yankees a lead.

    -The 21 players used by the Yankees set an ALCS record for an extra-inning game. The Oakland Athletics used 20 in a 10-inning game against the Tigers in 1972. The teams used a combined 38 players, breaking the ALCS record of 37 set by Baltimore and Cleveland in 1997.

    -Jeter's home run was his 19th in the postseason. He moved past Reggie Jackson and Mickey Mantle for sole possession of third place on the all-time list.

    -Rivera pitched more than two innings in the playoffs for the first time since Game Seven of the 2003 ALCS. It was the fourth time in the playoffs he went more than two innings.

    -Bobby Abreu has four strikeouts this series, which is 36.4 percent of his plate appearances. During the regular season, only 16.8 percent of his plate appearances resulted in strikeouts.

    -The Yankees have won their first five playoff games for the first time since 1999 which was the last time it was done in the AL. The only AL team to open postseason play with six straight wins was the 1970 Baltimore Orioles.

    -There were 111 plate appearances in this game and 13 pitchers threw 432 pitches.

    It's pretty much a lock that the Yankees will win the World Series

    Lots of unusual and unpredictable errors for our Yankee infielders ! .
    I would guess the wet field conditions had to have contributed to these.

    Also, one helluva call by that 2nd base umpire,
    the Angel SS ( or was it their 2nd baseman ? )
    clearly went through all the motions but his feet never touched the bag trying to turn that double play.
    nice call

    I wouldn't think so. Maybe he took the train up and at that hour, service is limited. I'd imagine that it took a while to leave the stadium since many people linger to see the pie in the face, hear Sinatra and plus the Subway gets crowded.

    Not at all. We got really unlucky. We drove up to Trenton and took NJ Transit into Penn Station. The last return NJ Transit train was at 1:41 and we obviously missed that and had to take a 3 am Amtrak to Trenton.

    AWESOME game!!!! I was in sectin 127 (great view), and other than the guy behind us puking, this game was epic. It had everything - Jeter homer, great pitching by AJ, extra innings, late/clutch homer by ARod, crazy weather conditions, intense crowd and the Yanks pulling it out in the end. Best game I've ever been to. And got to hear some PJ on the loudspeaker. :)

    agreed on all accounts and it definitely was the best game i have ever been to as well. my 4th game this season and all 4 have been walkoffs.

    Lots of EV and Pearl Jam on throughout the game. Rise came on while I was in monument park before the game and i knew it was going to be a good night!

    I love this team!

    I know it wasn't much of a question but the big guy is definitely going on short rest in game 4. I like the yanks chances of winning 2 of the next 5 games with CC, AJ and Andy pitching all of them.

    For those that care about minutia:



    love, LOVE, the minutia. Lots of interesting tidbits and nuggets. Thanks for posting them

    Though I have to say this one

    Jeter's home run was his 19th in the postseason. He moved past Reggie Jackson and Mickey Mantle for sole possession of third place on the all-time list.

    is hard to take too seriously. Mickey Mantle went straight from the regular season to the World Series. Reggie played in the ALCS, but I believe they were best of 5 back then, and obviously no ALDS. I'm not knocking you, I just hate when the "Playoff Records" get brought up. Just aboult all playoff records should be held by Yankees & Braves of the 90's and/or 00's. Now when you start talking World Series records, and maybe straight ALCS/NLCS records, then that's the real deal

    The only poositive of the 4pm start is that this game
    wont coincide with the Blueshirts shooting
    for their 8th win in a row in this early season.

    Besides that , the 4pm start time sucks asss.

    4:00 sucks. ill be listening to much of the game on radio, sitting in traffic on the deegan after work. but i guess that is better than actually sitting in the yankee stadium traffic as always.

    anyone think the yanks will feel the pressure if they go up 3-0 after 2004? if they then drop game 4, you know it will be brought up left and right.

    I thought about that but i don't think it will hurt them.

    This is a different team. All the come back wins espcially the two in the post season should have them thinking they can win no matter what.
