Joe Morgan thinks Luis Sojo is the best second baseman in the game today (alright, he clarified himself later on, but he actually said something to that effect after Sojo made a good play as a defensive replacement for Mariano Duncan).
Sure, Robby Alomar had a poor defensive series against New York and he does enjoy spitting on umpires, but Luis Sojo? Come on.
Without Alomar to give some life to the New York crowd, I wonder who the Bronx fans will single out today.
One thing's for sure--I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the bleachers if I were a Braves fan (or Jermaine Dye for that matter).
I wonder if Bob Uecker ever got to watch that Dateline expose on America's microbreweries.
It will be interesting to see what the Yanks do with Cecil Fielder in Atlanta. Tino's gotten it done all year long but he hasn't been a big producer for the Bombers in the post season.
Maybe Tino could play right (I'm not really being serious), cause Strawberry can be real bad against lefthanders.
Either way it will be tough to get the two big men in the lineup together with no DH. Advantage: Braves.
Mike Aldrete will see some big at bats in this series off the bench for the Yankees.
Wade Boggs says he wants to reach the 3,000 hit plateau before he throws in the towel.
I wonder if he can count slow pitch softball at bats in the total, cause he's got a long way to go (especially considering the way he looked against Texas and Baltimore).
The Yankees vs. the Braves?
It's a good thing that Major League Baseball doesn't get too caught up in the politically correct debates.
I wonder if Uek ever took that blimp ride back to New York.
He did say he had it worked out with the "people" at Goodyear.
Harold Reynolds thinks that the Yankees' starting rotation is as good as the Braves.' I think he's wrong.
Doesn't ESPN realize that decent players don't necessarily become good announcers?
But he is on the money in his prediction.
That's right folks - Yanks in 6.
