1 Out of 2 Ain't Bad
October 17, 2003
Well, here's my analysis of last night: Grady Little left Pedro in too long. I'm no manager or anything. But, when New York almost started a 2 out rally in the bottom of the seventh, I thought to myself, "Yank him." I knew, from my many years of playing ball and watching the National League, that he was done by this point. But Little left him in, narrowly escaping the rallying Yanks.
On comes the eighth, and Pedro got shallacked from the very beginning and by the time Little pulled him, it was a tie. Too bad for the Sox, this time, the manager cursed them, not the Babe.
UPDATE!
I just jumped over to ESPN.com and saw that this is the exact thing that the analysts there are saying. Maybe I missed my calling. Damn, I should have been a baseball manager.
