Gearing Up For The Fight

It's that time again...

Time to shift into drive, step on the gas peddle and run over somebody... preferably the Red Sox.

If the Yanks have any hopes of making the postseason or ya know, not completely making a fool of themselves... now would be the time to step it up and kick some ***. Given the consistent inconsistency from this team all season, no one knows what will happen this next series with the Wild Card leaders, but everyone knows that the Yanks should be going for the sweep. 2 of 3 is not good enough when you're 5 games back and the clock is moving double speed. It's getting late early.

Side Notes:

- I missed some of it but did Pav actually pitch this season, not have to hear the word surgery and get a win? The end of the world must be near.

- It's heeeere: Instant Replay. I'm glad to announce that people listen to me. Instant replay will be introduced on Thursday [on Friday for the Yanks, as it can only be introduced at the start of a series] to get boundary calls right [aka home run balls]. However, here's the twist: The crew chief will determine if replay is needed on a play, the umps will review the video and the final call will be left soley up to the crew cheif... or in other words: the umps gets their calls questioned [which I assume would not make them feel peachy] and then still get to make the call. It may be just me but that kind of sounds like what we have now. On top of that, if any manager argues after that call is made it's instant E-Jection. Seriously, when did umps become the Gods of baseball? Can they get any more power?
