"I've told you, time and time again, pitching's the name of the game in
the playoffs," shortstop Derek Jeter said in a light scolding to reporters after the Yanks' listless 6-0 loss to the Tigers on Friday night. "[But] it's hard to win when you don't score in 14 innings." |

The offense ALWAYS has to score at least ONE more than the defense allows for a TEAM to win. Are you just obtuse or what? |

The Yankee$ with "perhaps the greatest batting lineup in the history of baseball" got their butts kicked by the team with the lower ERA. Hmm... -------- http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/...tives&fext=.jsp "DETROIT -- The New York Yankees, as it turns out, could use an upgrade in three fundamental areas: pitching, pitching and pitching. The superficial way to look at the Yankees' stunning loss to the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series would be to blame it on the lack of offense. But that just underscores the pitching point. The Tigers had pitchers capable of rising to this postseason occasion, pitchers able to stop even baseball's best lineup. The Yankees did not have this kind of pitching. And it is this kind of pitching that wins in the postseason. "They showed that good pitching can stop good hitting," Yankees manager Joe Torre said of the Tigers." --------- Of course one should be able to reasonably argue that "good hitting beats good pitching!" This is perfectly logical. You should email Brian Ca$hman and tell him to keep up the good work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The only thing that matters is what happens on the little hump out in the middle of the field."

Hmmmm.... and I thought it was because Detroit scored more runs than the Yankees. That is why they won, isn't it? |

Ummmm because their OFFENSE hit the ball harder, more often, got more baserunners all around the bases, things like that. And simultaneously their DEFENSE allowed less hits and less baserunners? Isn't that how its always worked? |
