Yes they pitched "well enough" to technically keep us in the game... but did anyone really believe we were going to get to Petitte/Rivera once it was 4-1... or even 2-0? As cold as the bats have started after a very hot hitting spring training... did ANYONE really think a comeback was happening? Did anyone really think the Yankee scoring might be over at 4 with our chosen pitchers?

At least we (you) didn't dedicate millions of dollars of your own hard earned money to renovations that have made the K absolutley incredible, just to have team management almost seem to go out of their way to trot a couple of the leagues worst pitchers out against the powerful Yankees to re-open it. No, that would have been a shame.

I unfortunately have plunked down the dollars. Ohh well another season another losing record.
