Well, it doesn't bother me because I have long ago accepted that most of the commentators speak gibberish, and no longer pay much attention to them on questions of strategy (as opposed to, say, defensive positioning, where they know _far_ more than I do, although that doesn't necessarily mean they're right, either). I do hope, btw (and I'm talking to you, Zimmy :-) that the Red Sox/Yankees postseason puts to rest once and for all any talk about clutch hitting or being better in the postseason or any other such stuff. Otherwise you have to explain why Derek Jeter, who previously was the master of clutch hitting and rising to the occasion in the postseason, managed to stink up the joint this year... ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
