"Whenever you have a tight situation and there's a close pitch, the umpire gets a squawk no matter how he calls it."
- Red Barber, Major League Baseball announcer (1908-1992)
The Yankees won again last night, 6-l, putting them a game up on the Marlins. They scored their 6 runs on 6 hits. Florida had 8 hits, but could only get one man across home plate. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
Initially, I thought the Marlins would have a good night the way their pitcher, Josh Beckett, was breezing along. I think the two close calls by umpire Ron Darling in the 4th changed the momentum of the game. New York capitalized on their good fortune, as all great teams do, and Florida never recovered.
With Roger, "The Rocket," Clemens coming on tonight for the Yanks, my confidence that the Marlins can pull themselves together is on the wane. This will be the record 6-time Cy Young winner's last scheduled game in the major leagues, and I feel that he'll be giving 110% to finish his career with a win. Clemens is "do your best" personified, and if desire to get it done is in the equation, he'll be tough to beat.
