At least that mini-series is over.

I was just writing yesterday about what a horrendous Yankee killer Manny was, and what did he do? Smack two homers off the Moose last night.

Some folks were wondering why Moose pitched him anything decent at all - why not just walk the beast?

You can't just go out and walk him every time he steps in the box. You go out and throw the best pitches you can and try to have a game plan. I couldn't throw the ball where I wanted to, so game plans don't really do much good when you can't locate the baseball. He got into two balls, and hit them both pretty far. --Moose

You're right, Mike. Game plans didn't do much good at all. Once you realized the game plans weren't working, though, why not be pragmatic and CHANGE THE GAME PLAN??
