Correction to the pitchfork writer: "Maneater" was the biggest hit of their career, not "I Can't Go For That".

Re: “Notes on Game 6 of the World Series”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvQ1aK5jpYs this came towards the end of yes network post game- Joba(possibly drunk) tell Johnny how he really feels.
yeah I thought it was the right move to bunt there, considering the guy who was up. Needed that one extra run. Andy Pettitte was huge, game 3 was huge, when he tied the game with a hit in the 5th inning. That was the turning point of the series, in retrospect.
Re: “Notes on Game 5 of the World Series”
ah yes you know that article should have also mentioned that Joba lost about 5mph off his fastball since 2007, when he would top out at 99-100. That being said, Michael Kay in post-game show on Sunday said that was as good as Joba looked all year(which I agree with) except watching him groove those straight fastballs down the middle one thing came to mind - Gossage vs Brett in 1980(which is prob my first ever baseball memory).
This series is breaking perfectly- Pettitte vs Pedro, could it be more dramatic than that? I predict/hope Pedro wins for the ultimate showdown in Game 7- Sabathia vs Lee on 2 days rest(!?), Mariano blows the save in the 9th, only for the Yankees to pull it out with one more come from behind win- a walk off home run from Mr. November himself, Derek Jeter!
Re: “Notes on Game 2 of the World Series”
yeah you know the problem was Burnett was getting a lot of first pitch strikes over and they looked like the best pitches to hit, fastballs down the middle almost. Plus he was getting strike calls on curveballs out of the strike zone, so that will be always tough.
Major talking point for me was McCarver tearing into Manuel for not starting the runners in the 8th. I mean wtf? I think the chance of a strike-out throw-out double play was way higher than a regular double play there. Just look at the stats, Mariano a SO pitcher and Utley 110 strike-out on the season. Plus Manuel said in the post game Utley hit into fewer than 5 double plays all year. At most it was a 50-50 call to make, but yeah, typical McC.
And the missed calls by the umps, did Fox get a memo to lay off the super-slo-mo after the previous two series? It seemed like it.
Re: “Jay-Z and Alicia Keys Overcome the Worst Sound in the History of Sound, Kill It at World Series”
around 1:14 is my favorite part "yes!!" I have a question for the camera guy at 1:50-2:00- can you just get a little bit closer to Alicia's butt? whoa man, control yourself! I wonder if they talked about that post-show. Big discussion point in my household...
Also I have to say this is just an amazing song (and this is a great version, even with the sound issues). You could listen to this over and over and it doesn't get old. Headline shoud be "Jay-Z inspires Yankees to Game 2 Win", they should play this after every win if they don't already.
