difference fifth format game games ranks reason round
No, the fifth game of the first round is the worst, the most pressure. That ranks No. 1 because of the difference of the three-out-of-five format and the season. You play 162 games to play three-out-of-five. The disparity between the two is the reason it makes such an impact.

against apply august cares game happened hitter july relevant
You don't want to use too many statistics. The ones that apply to a July or August game won't be relevant on Saturday. If they are tied, or a game separated, who cares what happened back in May? Who cares if this hitter was 6-for-28 against this pitcher.

I will be shocked if Al Leiter doesn't come into the game now.

abc aspect jim series talk tv
I don't think I could really talk about this (the TV aspect of working a big game) before the 1985 World Series when I was working (on ABC replacing Howard Cosell) with Al (Michaels) and Jim (Palmer). I don't think I could tell you how to do a big game.
goes guys water
It's the guys who can breathe. It's the guys who have moisture in their mouth. It's hard. The water goes down in lumps.
bench decade guys happen mental red trying white yankees
It's doubled his workload, at least. He's trying to get to know these guys quickly. That didn't happen 30 years ago. The decade that Jorge has had with the Yankees has been much harder, from a mental standpoint, than Bench with the Reds or (Carlton) Fisk with the Red Sox or White Sox.
