...manager Joe Torre, after the Yankees won their championship on Wednesday night, awkwardly called them "a great team team." They were. Every single player contributed, big time. While most good teams have three solid starting pitchers and a rotating journeyman, the Yankees had six great starters: David Wells, David Cone, Andy Pettitte, Orlando Hernandez, Hideki Irabu and Ramiro Mendoza. Their bench could have beaten other teams. The Yankees, in contrast to the attention-grabbing McGwire-Sosa home run race, got wins and bad Nielsen ratings by playing "small ball": by massaging the first run over the plate, and then another...
Yankee fans before Game 6, by telling reporters that New Yorkers could not get more menacing "unless they showed up with Uzis." True to their spirit of murderous fun, the fans did show up with Uzis, making posters with pictures of the guns to signify each of David Cone's strike-outs...

The NL venue for Games 3, 4 and 5 means pitchers have to take their own at bats -- no designated hitters -- and that robs the potent Yankee lineup of some lumber. It's also warmer, but that may help Cone as much as Hitchcock -- a rain-soaked Cone fell apart against the Indians, and Yankees manager Joe Torre thinks the 36-year-old will benefit from some sunshine. But there's added pressure on the Padres to keep this thing competitive with a win Tuesday: on November 3, the city...
