$$$$$$

George Steinbrenner has had sand kicked in his face many a time for spending the buck to get top stars to pay in pinstripes. It has backfired a few times, with failed seasons and much lip by major league baseball fans. Well, his money players came through on Wednesday night at the Bronx. Alex and Gary came through in the pinch, downing the Twins in extra innings 6-5.

As I said yesterday, the Twins needed to go up 2-0 to win this series. They didn't, and they won't. Kevin Brown is a big time pitcher, and will prove it on Friday. I am sorry to say that it's over. Hail to the Yanks.
