No.
I'm saying the way the whole team is responding, such as:

--Frank Thomas getting Haren an early run when he knows he has a tough assignment
--Haren pitching his ass off and looking PISSED when he gave up that one run, even though he got a good outcome from the situation
--The bench guys picking up their teammates

Is extremely impressive.

There's a pretty badass restaurant here in ATL
canned Summit's Wayside Tavern. They've got about 400 kinds of beer or so, and tons of liquor. I asked about Ardbeg, 'cause I like a good Islay malt, and the bartender just snatched the book and started quoting prices. The normal (10 year?) I think was $22/shot, up to something ridiculously old, which was $175/shot. Neither of which I bought.

Sorry, delayed reaction. But you have got to be kidding me... in a good way, of course.

My thoughts: Perez didn't like having his hit total matched by Rouse already, so he figured it was about time to homer. Take THAT.

I love that we're beating the Yankees. Especially with this lineup.

Whining from Yank Announcers
According to them, when Ichiro got rookie of the year, nobody held the fact that he had played in the Japan league against him, but poor Hideki Matsui lost to Barroa because of this (boohoo).

IIRC, there was a lot of talk about Ichiro not really being a rookie the year he won the award.
