I’m still too addled in the wake of these shows to comment extensively, but I’ll say this: if last weekend’s performances of WIESS and The River aren’t released commercially, humankind will be a lesser cultural community for it.

1. Wheeeee!
2. It’s simplistic to reduce a series to this, but the better team won. Again. This Yankees team had more in common with the 1998 version than it did the 2002 or 2006 ones - or the 1996, 1999 and 2000 ones, for that matter. The lineup was Baldwin-deep and relentless.

I’ve got other things on my mind this fine November morning, so let me just say that Girardi managed the dickens out of that one. He used Matsui at the precise right moment, stuck with Pettitte just long enough and handled the relievers the way he did during the regular season. Only Hughes hung himself with the extra rope; I’m a big bird-in-the-hand guy, so I had no problem with...
