The first comment in this section is the most important (from Mark Feinsand). Can we finally STOP lumping post-season home runs together? It is misleading, and disrespects guys like Mickey Mantle.

One can only imagine how many “post-season” home runs The Mick would have had if there had been two additional playoff rounds before the World Series in Mantle’s day.

Feinsand is right. Mantle’s 230 at-bats all came in the World Series, and he hit 18 WORLD SERIES home runs. That is the record. That remains the record. Let’s stop putting all post-season home runs together and break them down into playoff home runs vs. World Series home runs, and let Mantle’s greatness speak for itself once again.

Did you know that boston.com ran a game thread on the Yankees-Twins game?

There’s one comment hoping the Socks aren’t hamburger in LA,and if they meet the Yankees aren’t stewed!

Nick, I watched the first season of Lost when it first aired, but was never able to make the full commitment. I’m waiting until every episode is released on DVD, before I lock myself in the house for 1 week.

I guarantee by the 3rd season that I’ll have morphed into a cross between Locke and Sawyer.

I’m planning similar marathon-watching-events with True Blood…and oddly enough…Prison Break??? Dont ask.

“pete got 1 comment on his post over at boston.com. why would he leave this. must be more pay?”

I thought you were kidding about the one comment until I went over there and checked. Is that THE blog that Pete is doing? Is it completely new? If that’s all the comments they’re getting, the traffic must be pretty low.
