He sucks.[/quote]
Frank Drebin (a better umpire, BTW) threw Joe West out of the game, in The Naked Gun. Too bad that we can't do that to him in real life.
Despite the loss, the Yankees outhomered the Twins 2-0 on the evening, and have retaken the lead in the home run race.
Yankees - 294 HR
Twins - 293 HR
7 games left for the Yankees, 8 for the Twins.[/quote]
But home field is now in the rear view mirror[/quote]
Yes, but that was never a big thing with me. I know that the home team won all 7 games when they played two years ago, but that's only the 4th time that's ever happened in a best of 7, in 100+ years of this game. Odds are, even with home field, we'd have to win in Houston at some point.
To me, it's more important to finish with a better record then the Dodgers, because if we make the World Series, I want to play with the DH 4 out of 7 games. Even though that would probably help the NL team a bit too, it would hurt the Yankees more to not have the DH, IMO.
