Godzilla!
My brother has officially allowed me to make fun of him (not that I might not have anyway) tonight. See, in this post I say that I think Torre should take Williams out of clean-up, since he's not hitting for power, and put Matsui, who is, there instead. My brother informs me why he thinks not. And yet tonight? Yes, Torre is batting Matsui at clean-up. Oh yeah.

I was partially wrong. Torre was able to balance his bats to avoid the dreaded relief specialist by sandwiching the lefty Matsui between the switch-hitting Williams and Posada. But when it came to the 6th and 7th hitters, there were 2 lefties in a row - Johnson and Garcia. A switch hitter in the clean-up spot, with a true lefty in the third spot, would have avoided this. Matters not. They lost. But again they made it interesting late. I thought Bernie had the tying homerun in the 9th. Go Andy and Moose!
