Here’s some Alex Rodriguez audio from tonight:

Meanwhile, Phil Hughes became the youngest Yankee ever to win a playoff game. He is eight months younger than Whitey Ford was when he won a World Series game in 1950.
Paul Byrd is 1-4, 4.44 against the Yankees in his career. They tortured him back in August at Jacobs Field, scoring seven runs in two innings. All seven runs came in the second inning. A-Rod homered off him.
I have no idea what they’re planning. But if the Yankees want to get the crowd going tomorrow, they have to convince somebody to throw out the first pitch.
And that is Bernie Williams.
Bern baby Bern!!!!!!!
Byrd’s last start against the Yanks:
Paul Byrd was blasted for seven runs in two-plus innings by the Yankees on Saturday.
That’s about right. Byrd gave up 10 runs in 10 2/3 innings versus the Bombers last season. He’s had a lot of solid outings for the Indians this season, but there’s nothing in his arsenal that he can use to retire quality left-handed hitters, something the Yankees have plenty of.
Great idea. Maybe Ian can call Steibrunner and accomplish something productive this time.
_Somehow_ TBS didn’t show Johnny Damon’s curtain call

Here it is!
I’ll be back later with a BIG Slide Show
Bernie???? is this in the works or just Pete’s idea?
Did you hear some whispers Pete?
Bernie would be crazy.
Oh man.
It can’t get here soon enough.
maybe rocket can throw out the first pitch because i think he retired in the 3rd inning

BERN, BABY, BERN!!!!
i said it about a week ago. bernie needs to be here.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see CC Sabathia’s name penciled on the lineup card tomorrow with Byrd’s name scratched out.
was anyone at the game tonight ? how loud was the crowd compared to other yankee playoff moments ? TBS didn’t have much for crowd noise
Taiwan press has confirmed Wang will pitch on tomorrow. Hopfully he can win a game for Yankees!
Bernie would be incredible. Peter – are you just teasing us or is that really happening?
I missed the beginning of the game today – who threw out the first pitch?
Tino Martinez threw out the first pitch. My dad thought it would’ve been Bernie today, actually, which would’ve been REALLY cool.
Ian Kennedy, you’re life is calling

Ian and Allison Kennedy’s wedding photos!!
I got home from the game about an hour ago and I’m surprised to read questions about the crowd noise. The crowd tonight was much louder and more into the game than any playoff game I’ve been to in the past couple of years. Not since they were pounding on the Red Sox early in the 2004 ALCS has it been this loud and maybe not since beating the Sox the year before. Even when they were down 3-0 the crowd was rocking. I don’t know how long that would have lasted had the Yanks not turned things around, but happily we didn’t have to find out.
Gosh Doc. Those look like prom photos with how young they all look!
I like where Ian is pointing
I have a feeling that the 1st pitch will either be Paul Oneil or Yogi. Atleast that is what they did last year.
Dr. Acula,
Thanks for all the multimedia. Check out the body language of the Mrs. as Ian checks his messages. Looks like Debbie Clemens has already given her a primer.
I can’t even imagine how loud that place would be if Bernie walks out tomorrow to throw the first pitch. I think the Bronx would explode.
Hopefully it’ll be either Bernie or Paulie. Either one, and the Stadium go nuts. If tonight was any indication, tomorrow should be pretty crazy anyway, but the old-timers always get a special reaction. And it would just be so perfect to see Bernie back out there.
C’mon NY, bring back Bernie!
So I’m confused — is Bernie really throwing out the first pitch ,or was that just an idea you had?
Mel,
I dig Debbie, she’s a total ham!
Pete is such a tease!! I can’t figure it out myself either!@!
I mentioned it to friends last week. The place would Rock.
No, I don’t have inside information and have no clue if the Yanks would do it, but just from a PR standpoint and it being the right and cool thing to do. Bernie for 1st pitch!
Thanks for the audio. Sounds like A-Rod has learned alot about dealing with the media in the past year.
I was at the game last nigh and was thinking about Bernie throwing out the ball. Seems like he is “around” again and was hoping this would be the right stage for a return. I hope those who are going tonight get to enjoy.
anybody know if bernie has a website? we should start a draft movement.
He does:
