I agree with most of this as well. But, like Mike, I find the phone calls an integral part of the Yankees success. The more focus I know is being put on the game, the better (I beleive) the Yankees will do. I feel that if I did not put my full [...]

I have thought long and hard about superstitions. I think whatever your normal mode is for watching a game that should continue this weekend. So, if you don’t accept phone calls during games, you should continue to refuse phone calls. Mike and I call each other or text message each other during [...]

I agree with some of your assessments. I watched part of Wednesday’s the game through my backyard sliding glass door at a about a 10-15 degree angle from the screen. I went out there to talk to Russ on the Cell phone (its the only place on my property where you get cell [...]

Ohhh God I love hating this.
For these games, I like to be alone. Usually for the start of the game it’s me, Christine, and our dog Fletch. By mid-game, Christine is usually in bed…and it’s just me and Fletch. Together. Hoping. Panting. Begging. Burning a ring in the floor around the couch and [...]

One game up with three to play. Here are some thoughts:
1) I have confidence in Wang. He appears unflappable. He doesn’t panic which will be important because once that team gets a couple of hits, the park goes crazy. The Yankees have done a good job this week (most games) [...]

On Friday evening, Jenn and I will be at a wedding in Nyack, NY. We are staying at a hotel and then plan to visit Jenn’s cousin at Manhattanville College sometime on Saturday. If the Roundtable gets together Saturday in Westchester County, let me know, get me directions – I want to see [...]

1- Hunter Whateverhisnameis missed the call last night because he was too busy moving the bat away from home plate. Check the replay. The second before the throw comes in you can see him holding the bat and tossing it out of the way. This put him in the wrong position.
2- [...]

The pressure is on the Sox tonight. Matt Clement who has had a second half to forget about, needs to come up with a big start. Tonight is also about the Red Sox lineup. While I believe they can play with their backs to the wall, I don’t know how they are [...]
