Yesterday's ninth inning comeback from 5-1 down, started by the "B" team, suggests the value of holding the damage (keeping it 5-1), the problems of the Cubs bullpen (was retirement that bad Lou?) and the Mets penchant for some late inning magic. This is so even if this fan is not always faithful in that regard. Note also the number of (largely successful) projects involving iffy pitching arms the team had in the last year or so. Meanwhile, the Yanks hired Grampa part time for some princely sum after he couldn't get the Astros to the WS in 2004. Honestly, a 2006 Braves type meltdown might do them some good. And, the 2007 Sox are not the 2006 Orioles either.
