Coyne's Clippings (October Baseball Edition)

Just catching up on yesterday's games, while wondering if Red Sox reliever Mike Myers will be pitching in Game 6 of the World Series. That would also be Saturday night, October 30th, Halloween.

Jackie MacMullen has this great quote from C.T. Nixon, while Shaughnessy checks in on the resurgance of Pedro.

"When you got a guy hanging over the cliff holding on with one hand, you don't want him to get his other hand up there," Nixon explained. "You want to go ahead and stomp on it." - Trot Nixon after beating the Angels Wednesday night to go up 2-0.

And B.R. checks in from NY with including this great quote.

"About three or four times in the game I said, `What am I doing this for?' " said Joe Torre. "Why don't I retire? It's grueling. But what makes it worthwhile is watching these players never give up. Both teams. It was certainly one of the memorable games. We had one in Game 7 against the Red Sox last year. But this may even have been better, more of a dramatic game, because it went back and forth, back and forth."
