Let me add one more thing - when all of this gets gone, then I'd be glad to pick up the conversation on who will win a baseball game.

It's either a trend or a correction begging to happen -- I'm hoping for the latter. Some solace for Yankee fans:

Yankees ALDS History:
2000 vs. Oakland - Lost Game 1; Won Series
2001 vs. Oakland - Lost Game 1; Won Series
2002 vs. Anaheim - Won Game 1; Lost Series
2003 vs. Minnesota - Lost Game 1; Won Series
2004 vs. Minnesota - Lost Game 1; Won Series
2005 vs. Anaheim - Won Game 1; Lost Series
2006 vs. Detroit - Won Game 1; Lost Series
2007 vs. Cleveland - Lost Game 1; ???

It’s either a trend or a correction begging to happen — I’m hoping for the latter.

WWJD? Or more appropriately, WWJB (Who Would Jesus Bean)? This is an important question. I suppose I'm leaning more on the humanity side of Jesus, but I have to believe that within the limits of baseball's unwritten code Jesus would stand up for his teammates and pelt someone in the back with a 95-mph fastball if the situation called for it. I'm not wrong, am I? That whole "turn the other cheek" thing has its limits, even for Jesus. What about WWJW (Who Would Jesus Walk)? Is there any single player that is so fearless and feared that even the son of God wouldn't pitch to him? What other baseball variations of WWJD can we come up with?
