Addressing the thoughts:<p>***I always thought Bartolo Colon made a better Brando look-alike, especially after watching him pitch for 6 innings last night.<p>***The unkempt and pissed look for the Red Sox is different this year because they're unkempt and pissed together, as a team. They looked the same way in 2001, except they were pissed at each other. On an unrelated note, I think Curt Shilling could do a better job of managing the the team than Terry Francona.<p>***I see greatness in Jeter and Riveria. If you heard his interview after the game, you'd know that baseball is ingrained in his brain. In the interview, he said he wasn't even looking at the relay throw -- he knew where the ball was going when it Matsui connected. You could tell he had already played out the remaining few seconds of the game in his head -- Matsui hits a liner to right, Jacque Jones is coming in too far, so he has no forward momentum, Lecroy's throw will be off since he's not expecting to cut off Jones' throw, game over. I saw Jeter on third before the ball was hit, and I knew it then. You just *can't* get behind on the Yankees' order in the Bronx in extra innings. IT sickens me to say that, because that was one hell of a home run by Torii Hunter, but when A-Rod doubled into center, I knew the game was over.<p>***I'd love to see the Sox in the Series, but that means they'd be going up against the Cardinals. Clemens would probably beat the Cards in the (at most) two games they would face him, but did you see Game 1?
