It ain't over, folks.

Folks writing that this deficit is more difficult to overcome than 2004 or 2007 are forgetting how dire the situation was in those 2 instances. In 2004, it wasn't just down 3-0, it was down 3-0 in games, 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th against the best closer in the histroy of baseball. THAT was exponentially tougher than this and I don't care if Manny was there, or not. In 2007, it was down 3-1 after getting pummeled in game 4, and facing CC Sabathia, the Cy Young award winner, having to win in Cleveland....then coming home having to beat Fausto who had been amazing in the regular season and had dominated the Yankees in the ALDS (remember the bugs?). And anyone who thought Schilling was a sure bet to pitch well in game 6 vs. Cleveland last year forgets how hittable he had been in game 2 of that series. I would not bet on history repeating itself...... BUT it ain't over.

Come to Mister Days just steps from the Clarendon Metro Station in Arlington, VA to watch game 5 with me and others in RSN.
