Good night,
I'll turn it on for a few minutes in the bedroom, Guillen and Sizemore are up again next inning.

I'll see you tomorrow, Jimbo.
Hopefully, this game will give us a lot to talk about.
EDIT: DAMN!!
I THOUGHT THAT WAS GONE!

I don't know how much longer I can stay awake though.
Bad thing, just noticed this thread, been web surfing for the past few hours.

He brought them back from what looked like the dead with his two-run homer, and drew a key walk that led to the winning run.
I know Young drove in the run, and I thought he could win the award, but he already has one.
Anyway,
I'm going to bed.
See you tomorrow- this game is going to make for some GREAT discussion!
Spoiled Yankee fans? Good grief.
You have to be part of the rivalry to understand and appreciate the over-rated chant. That doesn't happen in the big Indians and whoever rivalry. Do the Indians even have a rival, anyway?
On another note, as a Yankee fan I'd like to say what a class act Terry Francona was tonight. He's always a class act.

Whatta game! 4 hours and 50 minutes! I love it! Unfortunately I fell asleep at apx 1am in the 13th. I did read the play by play text this morning. The media is already discussing changing the ASG rules to allow an alternate ending.
In a situation as last night though, hypothetically if the managers felt that they were overextending the pitchers, they could've easily swapped a pitcher with a first baseman or DH to keep within the rules. I think I remember that instance happening before. Can you imagine Morneau or Longoria pitching?! That would bring an end to the game in a hurry.
Bottom line, again, the managers have to understand that extra innings can be a possibility and that they need not pitch everyone on the team just so they get face time. (Ex. F-Rod for 1/3rd of an inning). You have 12 pitchers on each team. Let each pitcher throw for at least 2 innings and you wouldn't have this problem.

Exactly!! I am tired of all the complaints of not having enough players when for the first 70 years of the All-Star games they did it with fewer players. Stop picking 6 closers for the team.
