I totally wonder about Matt Garza's arm and nerve.

"I kept thinking that Matt Garza might somehow end up with the Yankees.

Garza was the most expendable of the Rays' young starters because he was the closest to free agency, and he's coming off an up-and-down year.

But if you ever wondered about Garza's arm and his nerve, go back and take a look at the Game 7 he pitched against the Red Sox in 2008."

Thank you for settling my nerves. I was losing sleep over this. In fact, the Matt Garza discussion has been dominating New York sports radio for several years and I was getting tired of it.

Ummm, who's Matt Garza, again?


"Go back and look what he did that night after Dustin Pedroia led off the game with a home run."

As if Mike Lupica remembers a specific play from a specific game.


"He did to the Red Sox that night what Josh Beckett did to the Yankees in Game 6 of the 2003 World Series."

Ha ha ha.

May as well put Josh Beckett's 2003 Game Six on Lupica's gravestone.

WE GET IT. Beckett beat the Yankees and this makes you HAPPY. It was in 2003, for cryin' out loud.
