To the wayback machine! Thanks Steve. Jeez, 1984, some 21 years ago. Man, am I getting old… lol. That was the year the Tigers ran off that 35-5 start, putting the divisional race to bed early.

Part of what’s “wrong” with Redding is that he can’t control his emotions, so hopefully he doesn’t get TOO pumped up (: Or if he does, he’s able to focus his energy on his pitching.

Should be a pretty good game tonight

I’d be happy with 6 and 4. That would keep the Yankees in the game. It’s all you can ask.

if emotion counts for anything, Redding should be poised to pitch the game of his life. lifelong Yankee fan who readily offers he hates the Red Sox. no beating around the bush to protect his chances of playing for Boston someday. maybe he pulls one out of the hat tonight. considering all the out-of-leftfield performances by no-name mediocrities and rookie call-ups against us in recent seasons, isn’t it the Yankees’ turn to befuddle a sinking-ship Red Sox team with an out-of-the-blue shocker. 6 solid innings of 2 run ball is all I ask.

Well, if this game tonight can’t pump him up, then nothing would.

5-6 times this season it’s been irritating to watch a slightly above average pitcher (e.g., for Kanses City) look like Steve Carlton because he’s “pumped up” to face the Yankees.

It’s time for Redding to get “pumped up” himself and scatter 4 hits.
