I can see, Don, your grasp of anatomy easily exceeds your grasp of baseball.

That was a dead team after losing the first two in Arizona. Heart got them a 3-2 lead in the series. So they lost, but went down battling, unlike the 2004 ALCS when they whimpered away. Or 2005 ALDS.
==================
If heart was such a big deal, then they would’ve willed themselves to a series win in 2001. Would’ve been the perfect time to do it, given the circumstances in NYC at the time…

Heart didn’t give them a 3-2 lead, ineffective relief from Kim did.

Games 4-6 were winnable games in 2004. Boston put together a 10 game streak earlier in the season, they put together an 8 game streak to win it all. They also beat the Yanks in April with a healthy Vazquez & Brown.

What you’ve seen the past few years is “sh!t happens.”

Heart = Balls. Got it children, now that I had to spell it out so crudely.

If you don’t think that team had heart then you are dumber than dumb.

How did the series turn out? MO blew the save in game seven. And they chipped him to do it.

Finally, I never mentioned Bubba or Philips. As usual you are dyslexic and have confused posters.

That is all.

Those pitching staffs from the dynasty days were absolutely stacked. With a playoff rotation of Cone, Pettite, Wells or Clemens, Pettite, Cone, who needs farging heart?

Anyway, you obviously don’t think heart had a thing to do 1996-2001, so be it. Think Alex pulls a Brosius in the 2001 WS at the Stadium?

How’d that series turn out

Don,
You have to be kidding about all of this “heart” stuff. Winning baseball is about scoring runs while preventing your opponents from scoring runs. These two abilities are skills that are easily measured. Bubba Crosby and Andy Phillips did not have these skills; a team of Crosby’s and Phillips would probably have abouta .333 winning percentage.

Is your real name Don? Are you Dallas Green? Syd Thrift?

Wow, is it just me, or has the comments section of WasWatching gotten a little….confrontational?

Thanks JohnnyC. I’ve already told Cashman all about it. He doesn’t pick up his cell too quickly at times, which is rather annoying, but I get through……….

I think the 2004 ALCS debacle is proof for my belief. Money bought Alex, Giambi, Sheffield and Matsui. And they shrunk when the going got tough.

You can’t buy heart.

Perhaps, Don, you could call up Brian Cashman and tell him which players with “heart” the Yankees should acquire. I’m not sure their scouting staff has discovered the metric for that. They’ll need your input.
