Definitely. History is replete with a lot of teams coming back from 2-0. There's a lot of baseball still to be played.

Somwhere, wherever they may be, John McGraw and Leo the Lip may be cracking smiles but Brooklyn is frowning.

This long suffering fan hopes this is the year. Enduring the Torture since 1963. That's a long time. Hope this is your year. The Giants last won the WS in 1954 when they were the NY Giants. It was considered an upset as the Tribe had won 111 that year.

Maybe this will be the year. It's amazing to think that they haven't won in 55 years. They were a powerhouse once, what with 5 WS titles and 21 pennants including this year. Aside from the Cardinals and Dodgers, that's the most of any National League team.

A belated Joyeux anniversaire Guy . To one of the nicest guys on this Forum!

This is only one game and as the others pasted out the 96 Yanks survived early losses to win. There are numerous instances of other tea s coming back from 2-0. It would have been far worse had they lost a one run game than getting blown out. After 8-2 it was basically garbage time. Also Lee only pitched once in the Yankee series so they found a way to win three others. I could be wrong but I think this series will go the full seven, which, if the case, would be bad news fir the Giants as you would be facing Lee, in all likelihood. I assume he'll pitch game 4 and I expect him tobe something closer to his old self in his remaining starts. I wouldn't start getting ready for the parade just yet

Three run homer. Can I retract that last statement?

We're all human. Wouldn't count the Rangers out.

Lee doesn't look as sharp tonight. Guess I will stick with him until he's rendered human.

This list definitely has some appeal. I will be taking a closer look at it.

I have read about them. That's quite terrible if true.

Apparently his life was the normal life span of an octopus: about 2.5 years.

Can't believe this got ignited again. I'm a former moderator on another non-jazz forum and the action taken was exactly the action we would take. I think Dan's advice from June should be taken: close this thread.

Status quo ante Dude

Heard that this morning. They said on the BBC that he died in his sleep. I guess 2 1/2 is the normal life span of an octopus is. Not too many octopuses made this sort of a "splash." Sorry for the bad pun He'll always be a hero in Spain!

They are definitely in a ticklish position with Jeter and Arod but Ripken moved over to third so why not Jeter, especially if it's for the good of the team. Not having to worry about fielding would help Arod. I'd cut Posada or relegate him to a pinch hitter. He only caught about half the games anyway and he will be catching less anyway. Yankee fans can answer but I think they do have some prospects to replace him. At short, try to find someone young who has range. I hope that Lee stays with Texas or goes to anyone but the Yanks but if he does sign with them, I'd try to jettison Burnett, no easy feat with his contract. They had to know that it would be a crap shoot with him anyway. He helped lead them to a title anyway so they probably got what they're going to get out of him. They also really to overhaul the bullpen. It was badly exposed and could be worse with Wood expected to leave. Yup, couldn't happen to a nicer team but never write them off.

Mike Francesa on WFAN interviewed Joe Girardi and Brian Cashman today. Here are the interviews. Later on Mike talked to Sweeney Murtey, the WFAN beat reporter, and a baseball reporter from the Daily News who covers the Yankees and they discussed how the Rangers scouting report had indicated that the left side of the infield had slowed down and was vulnerable, as well as Posada being so. One of the options they discussed was making Arod the DH and moving Jeter to 3rd. Another point of discussion was what to do about Posada. One possibility would be to release him but that all depended on what happened with Montero, who might be possible trade bait for a front line starter, which they felt was needed. Unfortunately, this conversation was not put on the WFAN web site. Too bad as it was pretty interesting. One of the benefits of living in NY

Hopefully all the bad news is out of the way Kevin and things will be getting a whole lot better starting today.

I was looking into this and saw some reference on a website saying that is actually drawn from: "the antarã [upper-octave variation] of a well-known gat [fixed composition set to a rhythmic accompaniment] of the late-night rāga Bageshree, in Hindustani classical music." See http://en.academic.r...f/enwiki/162495 Don't ask me what that means

Okay. Okay.

Heard about that the other day. Wonder if that is unprecedented?

Having reviewed the discussion, you almost have to divide things into three phases, pre 1969, 1969 to when we only had only just the League Championship Series and since then. This also makes sense when looking at stats. It's impossible to equate how many HRs a person has hit in the post season since 1969 with how many Mantle hit, for example. In the period we're in, there is no question the 1996-2000 Yanks are the best, just considering how difficult it is. Even without this arbitrary measuring stick, it's difficult to say that a team from this period is better or not as good as a team from the 1970s or 1960s. Different time, different way of playing the game and so forth. We all have favorites because those are the teams that meant the most to us as we probably saw them actually play.

Amazed it was still around. Sony lost this market years ago. Didn't make the leap. Amazed it was still around. Sony lost this market years ago. Didn't make the leap.

Articles for Yankee fans in today's New York Times: For Yankee Fans, Winter Comes Early, Bringing Questions With It As Postseason Turns to Offseason.... Yankees More Than An Ace Away It is possible that for the remaining members of the late 90s run, last year might have been the last hurrah. Unfortunately, for the Yankees, they're in a tough position with Jeter and Posada. Hopefully, Jeter returns to a more productive season but they're stuck with Posada for another year, with diminishing returns, in all likelihood. The Yankees cast Bernie aside when it suited their needs so you can never tell what happens with Posada.
