WHY WE FORGET MO IS HUMAN

Andy looked as good as you could expect, 6 innings was just what the doctor ordered. The problem with this one was the Yankee offense. The Yankees have seen Guthrie an awful lot over the years. You' d think with one of their leaders on the mound, they'd strike and never look back. But it pittered out.

One things for sure, when you have a 3-2 lead going into the ninth against the Orioles, and Mo's on the mound, you expect a save and a win. You can almost shut off the television before the last out and continue your weekend. Who wouldn't think that its all wrapped up? That brings me back to my point about Showalter from a few days ago. He's a fighter and he has something to prove to the Yankees.

Now, Showalter didn't hit Luke Scott's home run for him to tie it he didn't get Ty Wiggington's game winning hit. I'm not saying Buck was responsible for that. He was however responsible for the Orioles believing in themselves. Since he came to Baltimore, the Orioles look like defending World Champs. Buck's put a fire in their belly and some might say that they knew it was going to happen, they may say they knew the Orioles would come back. While the Yankees have seen Guthrie plenty of times, the O's have seen Mariano plenty as well. We forget sometimes that Mariano is just like you or me. As much as he is on automatic, he sometimes blows a save. Now it's Monday morning, turn the page.

Tonight, the Yankees honor George Steinbrenner. He brought winning back to the Bronx and I really hope Joe Torre and Don Mattingly show up. Hell, I'd like to see Showalter and Piniella there as well. But it's more than remembering Steinbrenner tonight, its remembering that George hated losing and especially hated losing to the Red Sox and the Rays. Let's win tonight New York. If George was alive he'd be very impatient sitting through his own ceremony and looking forward to a big win in the Bronx. Let's get the win, and let's take the Series against the Rays this week. George would have wanted it that way.
