I get what you're saying, but what I remember from '93 is thinking that the Phillies had a shot if they could get it back to Toronto, since they should have won Game Four. (BTW, I think I wasn't as undone by last night because nothing, NOTHING, could ever be as bad as blowing a five-run lead in the eighth inning of a WS game.) And the Jays had seemed more the superior team through the first four games of that WS than the Yankees have in this one.

He's caught him all playoffs, did they not want those games either?

If they really wanted to win they'd pitch Burnett on short rest instead of Gaudin....oh wait

Not a difficult trivia question.

Hint: they got a bunch of them in the city where tonight's game is being played.

I guess. If it's me, I tell Burnett to suck it the fuck up and pitch to Posada, an offensive force. They've now got a bottom of the order that is significantly worse than many NL teams (Gardner/Molina/pitcher). If they NEEDED this game, you can bet your ass Burnett would have to pitch to Posada and like it.

Cliff's strike zone seems substantially larger than douchenozzle's

Maybe it's because of the Phillies speed.

Perhaps their whining is starting to come back to haunt them.

Most likely just the typically all-over-the-place strike zones that have plagued this series.
