Manny still says that we control our destination. Just a short winning streak, continuing today, is all we need.
We must protect this house.

If anyone can do the job today, it's these two.

I stand before you today to remind you that before we engage in this battle-on this field of war that we WILL NOT lose this battle! I say this knowing that we have been in this situation before and we have won the battle that needed to be won. We now face the most vile of enemies and we cannot afford to give anything less than 100% to win this battle today-because this battle today will not win us the war! We must win this battle today so we can win every battle after against this most vile advesary! We must fight for our fellow soldiers; who will be killed, our wives; who will be raped, and our children; who will be slaughtered and the future of this great world for which if we are not successful today will not live to see another sunrise over a free world! ENGAGE!

To keep this real, 2 out of 3 will most likely mean 3 out of 4.
Lets win two in a row. I'm only asking for half of what this team did last year.
This team is at least half as good.
Therefore we win.

For the record, the pooch in my post above came from an "ugliest dog" thread in P&G, and someone quickly made the RJ connection there. This was months after the RJ thread.Most of the photos fromt the old RJ thread can be found here.
Anyway, it's getting pretty simple now: Win today. Win tomorrow. Then win 11 more times after that and have a nice winter.

Mmm, no. Take today as game 1 and Monday as game 3. As Fleetwood Mac said, "Yesterday's gone." Yesterday (or the day before, for that matter) is no longer part of the series.

The Herald: "Sox starter Tim Wakefield has enjoyed a much bigger edge pitching in the daytime than Johnson has. "I don't know why it's harder to hit him in the day. It may be because it's darker behind his head at night, but I know it's harder to catch him,'' Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli said of Wakefield."

10/1/05 -- Wakefield vs. Wookie
It’s time for Jose Melendez’s KEYS TO THE GAME.
1. “Do you know what addiction means?” the question hung in the night air like a Tanyon Sturze curveball.
“Sure,” answered Jose. “It’s when you can’t stop doing something.”
“That’s right. And do you think that maybe you have an addiction?” the Melendezette responded.
“What would make you say that?”
“The fact that you are walking down a street in East Cambridge on the way to a party with your eyes glued to a tiny television set.”
“Oh,” Jose responded. “Well, that’s like eating or breathing or going to the bathroom. Watching Red Sox baseball at a time like this is more of an existential thing than an addiction.”
This is the story of how Jose came to be sneaking off into the bathroom at a party to keep an eye on the game. Jose knows that this story is not unique, not by a long shot, but it is his.
The question is how does one end up going to a party where there is no television on a night like this? Apparently, there exists in this very country, maybe even somewhere near you, people who do have indoor plumbing, but don’t have a television. It’s curious isn’t it?
Jose is a sensitive guy. He cares about other people’s feelings. He does not wish to be rude or insulting. So he did the only sane thing. He excused himself to the bathroom, extended his... antenna... and checked the progress of the game.
Recognizing that he could not possibly stay in the bathroom for the whole evening, Jose devised a plan where in he would make periodic checks... in the bathroom, in a closet, in dark corners where mortals fear to tread. Of course as soon as word leaked that Jose had a television set, far from being shunned for his rudeness and insensitivity , he became extremely, extremely popular, more popular than a pharmacist in the Yankee clubhouse even. People who had been following the game on their cell phones huddled around Jose trying to share in the gentle glow of the one and one half inch screen.
An Indian fellow, who had adopted baseball in the absence of cricket gave us the South Asian perspective. He said that he has parties for the cricket World Cup at 3 AM where he invites both Indian and Pakistani friends to join him. Jose recoiled in horror. He may have friends who are Yankee fans, he may not, frankly it’s none of your damn business, but he would NOT invite them over to watch the Red Sox-Yankees game. The way Jose figures it the only way these sort of parties work with India and Pakistan with cricket is that they both have nuclear weapons. Mutual assured destruction has a way of enforcing good sportsmanship. But if the Red Sox and the Yankees had nuclear weapons? Somehow Jose thinks it would not prove an effective deterrent to the sale of “Posada is a Little Bitch” T-Shirts.
The point is that addiction is defined by what is normal. Do we define Catholics in the Vatican as addicted to going to church? No, and nor is a Red Sox fan in Boston addicted to watching games. It’s more of a compulsion than an addiction.
2. An open letter to Randy Johnson
Dear Randy,
It’s been a tough year hasn’t it? Has it really been what you expected when you demanded a trade to the Yankees? Remember how it started? With everyone predicting that you would make a run at thirty wins. And that’s pretty much where it started to go down hill. After your first press appearance you grabbed a camera. Did you not know that there are cameras in New York? Was it a surprise? It’s kind of a big thing down there. The next thing you knew, you were among the league leaders in home runs surrendered, your ERA was up above four, and your manager was calling you out.
But that’s cool. You got yourself straightened out. You’re throwing gas now. And aside from that one time when you gave up few runs and then promptly proceeded to wig out, you’ve had a great September. Which brings us to this moment. It’s game 161. Red Sox vs. Yankees. Johnson vs. Wakefield. It’s the game you were hired to pitch. So why does everything feel wrong? Your posture shows it. That enormous frame that makes you so intimidating to hitters, that gives your fastball such nasty downwards movement suddenly looks too big for you, like you are a teenager who grew three inches in a summer and just doesn’t know what to with all of that extra volume.
It hurt when Jose called you a wookie yesterday didn’t it? It took you back to 1977 when you were a teenager, a kid of 13 or so, just discovering your interest in girls. After weeks of waiting, of agonizing, you finally worked up the courage to ask a girl to go the movies with you. Not the prettiest girl, mind you, or even an average looking girl, the chunkiest, pimpliest girl in the class. You approached her, your mullet flapping in the breeze, your Led Zeppelin shirt dirty and fragrant and asked, “Would you like to go out with me?”
She looked up at you in shock and horror and gave her reply. “Get away from me you disgusting wookie.”
“What’s a wookie,” you asked? You hadn’t gone to see Star Wars yet, but you could sense that it wasn’t good.
“Go see Star Wars loser,” she commanded before making an abrupt about face and marching off.
You saw Star Wars that night, all alone and they made you sit in the big of the theater so your gangly frame wouldn’t obstruct other patrons. But you didn’t enjoy the action, the adventure; all you could see was that wookie up on the screen and think “That is me. I am that raving, hairy beast.”
It still hurts doesn’t? It was that insult that drove you to pitching. Every day you would throw pitch after pitch. Thinking with each throw “I’m not a wookie, I’m a man... A MAN!!!!”
Of course, in the literal sense this is true. There is no such thing as wookies. Technically, they are extinct. But in a metaphorical sense, you are more wookie then ever now. By demanding your trade to New York, like the Wookie of Star Wars, you have become a slave to the Empire, deprived of honor, of pride and of humanity.
So when you pitch this afternoon try to remember, for you there is no pride in victory, no honor in accomplishment, no escape from your destiny. You are the same gangly wookie you were in 1977, and everyone knows wookies don’t pitch well in the clutch.
Best regards,
Jose
3. The Yankees attempted to prepare for knuckleballer Tim Wakefield by taking batting practice against former Yankee relieve Joe Ausanio, who apparently throws a knuckleball. This was George Steinbrenner’s idea, so one knows it can’t be good, but seriously, what are they thinking?
You’re going against one of the all time great knuckleballers and you think practicing against some shlub will help? Do you think Abraham Lincoln prepared to debate Stephen Douglas by practicing against a deaf mute? Did Muhammad Ali prepare for George Forman by sparing with Tiny Tim? Did the U.S. army tune up for the Gulf War by invading Panama? Okay, bad example, but the point holds. You can’t prepare for what Wake is dealing, don’t try.

I can't see Tito doing this, but I'd like to see Papi at 1B and Tek at DH today. Of course this means Millar is in RF, but it might be a worthwhile gamble since Trot isn't going to be much use against Eunuch.

All through the playoffs last year this was on between innings.
Thursday night, it was back.
Now is the time. Seize the monent.
Win Today.
Thursday night, it was back.
Now is the time. Seize the monent.
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's chokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap city
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between trying to be a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not or not this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Couldn't think of a better place to ask this....
...but does Tek look really skinny (for him anyway) to anyone else? Seems he's lost a lot of weight since the beginning of the season.

Defending Bellhorn?

Damn, would have liked to have seen Tek at DH and Trot out of the lineup. But Tito's sticking with D. Can't blame him for that.

I'm with you there, but I think we'll be ok this way - and Trot may do allright today.

For SoSHers in the DC, VA, MD areas, the game will not be on DC Fox 5.
According to the Washington Post, the game is blacked out due to the Nationals game starting at 4:00. The game is on Baltimore Fox 45, if you are fortunate enough to get that station. It is also on ESPN radio.
Perhaps this is addressed on the why I hate FOX Sat. baseball thread, but I did not see it here.
Win today.
