<description>&lt;p&gt;MJG - laughing and agreeing with you on the points regarding Manny. I was floored by the fact that he even spoke to us - let alone in two languages!

With the bugs, looking at the manner in which Chamberlain was handling things in the seventh versus the eighth, the bugs did play a role. The guy got rattled and then things spiraled. If that hadn&apos;t been a factor, I think that the momentum of the game up until that point would have yielded a Yanks win.  A win off a pitchers&apos; duel that generated little offense on other side. Just happened to be that Cleveland could handle creepy crawlies and Chamberlain couldn&apos;t. And at that point, the Yanks were rattled and couldn&apos;t get past it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;<![CDATA[Manny was totally being Manny. Less than sound defense, a Monster of a home run (It cleared the #$@!&@! Coke bottles), and he even spoke to us; in two languages no less. And, admit it, you didn't think he owned a suit did you? Can someone find out who helped tie the tie?

Other baseball thoughts...

1. Vladi Guerrero was not hit on purpose. A playoff game, tied, and in the seventh inning is not the time to hit batters. He's also hitting an A-Rodesque .196 in his playoff career. Why give him a free base?

2. Bugs. Ridiculous. New York lost because of the THREE hits they ''generated''. Carmona managed to handle the bugs. Why was Rivera was effective? The bugs left before Vizcaino coughed up the winning hit.]]>&lt;/p&gt;</description>
