Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

You're right, I did say that exactly. I was thinking more about whether they spent as much as the Yankees. Maybe they did and it just didn't work out, I can't say. All I know is they were up two games to none in 1996 before Jim Leyritz erased the next whole half-decade of potential success.

 

For a neutral, that was one of the greatest post-season pitchers’ duel ever.

The Yankee run was unearned, as I recall. And if I recall correctly, it’s because the game reminded me of a lot of Braves games I’d watch with friends in the 80’s when Rick Mahler would throw a complete game (or at least 8 solid innings) without allowing an earned run, while still getting tagged with the loss.

 

That's embarrassing.

Guys who can't read and don't go to class losing to future lawyers and doctors.
