Hold The Line, Love Isn't Always On Time

Dear Yankee Apologist:

Since you probably haven’t seen one all season, I wanted to make sure you saw what a great night’s pitching line ACTUALLY looks like, just in case you happen to stumble across one, even though that is highly improbable given the state of your team’s epic, five-games-and-counting collapse:

Curt Schilling (W 3-1) 7.0 5 1 1 2 3 1 90-59 3.27
Hideki Okajima 1.0 0 0 0 0 2 0 11-8 0.93
Brendan Donnelly 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 0 12-9 0.00


And since you were probably confused by those low ending numbers for the second two players, I wanted also to confirm that “0.93” and “0.00” are NOT “Percentages of Games Played By Carl Pavano Since You Paid Him $40 Million”.

Since you probably haven’t seen ERA numbers like that from your own team, just wanted to avoid any confusion.

Gotta run, just heard Joe Torre is warming Petitte up for another relief stint. Maybe he’ll sip a nice cup of Bigelow Green Tea while Steinbrenner drools on his white turtleneck and crys and builds a ship and has Howard Rubenstein change his diaper.


Best,

The Editor
