Mariano gives up a run, Yankees lead series 3-1.

I'll take my odds anyday with the Yankee bullpen vs. the Red Sox bullpen, though it didn't quite work out last night.

It's so unusual for Super Mariano to blow a save that it's the obvious headline, but it's a non-issue if somebody on the Yankees ... anybody on the Yankees ... could have just delivered a lousy hit with runners in scoring position.

With ineffective Pedro and injured Schilling on deck, don't expect this genius article to become much more than birdcage liner.

But, on the other hand, weird things can happen in baseball. If anybody still doesn't believe in the Curse of the Bam-Boonie, read this chilling story.

In the other league that nobody seems to care about, Carlos Beltran hit his 8th hr in 9 playoff games and the Houston Astros Did Not Quit. Strangely, though Beltran's tie-breaking blast was certainly dramatic, the rest of the team did not act like they just won the World Series.

Plus, Houston's fans still believe in their team and stuff.

Why not Houston?

What 25 men believe, 25 men will achieve: The 2004 Astros.
