Partial Birth Ban: Symbolic? Vague? Misleading?

World Series: The Yanks won Game 3 vs the Marlins' ace, Josh Beckett (whose 9-8 regular season record is apparently a trick), so the "okay, it's basically over" comments started. Then, Clemens (in his last start, apparently) gave up three runs early, and Carl Pavano (great in relief, decent starting) went eight innings and only gave up one run. The Yanks scored two in the ninth to save Clemens (who held firm and went seven, not adding to those three) from a loss (he also got a hit, unfortunately not when the bases were loaded). When Weaver came in, it was just a matter of time ... the game winner came in his second inning of relief.

I thought this series would go long ... at 2-2, it becomes a best of three, and a Game Seven is far from unlikely. Just ask the Cubs.
