Let's see... flipping 50/50 coins and getting 5 in a row is 1/32. Getting an exact sequence of 10 is 1/1024, but there are 10*9 combinations where you get 8 out of 10 wins, not to mention another 11 where you win 9 or 10, so it's about 1/10 to win 8 out of 10...

F it, when John Sterling presents you with numbers or hypothetical what-ifs, you do not question John Sterling, you listen to what John Sterling has to say and like it.

what are the odds of playing 10 games, and having a 5 game winning streak in it? given your assumptions i think that's 6*1/32, greater than 1/10.

but regardless, don't take any probability advice from John Sterling. i completely agree with you. most such statements on tv are meaningless.

Three run blast by ARod to put Yanks up 8-6. 23HR, 61RBI. Way to pad those stats, choker.

would love to hear this. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] al leiter, even though he's like a hyperactive child.

also i hate having nieves and cairo in the same lineup

kay was doing one of those monologues where he editorializes and plays talk show host, he was talking about how he thinks the yankees need to change the order of the rotations because clippard and clemens are next to each other and they the two pitchers who have trouble going deep in the game. he went on and on, and when he was done leiter just goes, "uh.... what?" and then murcer just piled on and laughed at him and kay got all flustered. its kind of hard to retell, just the timing of leiters comment and his tone were perfect. i think the support guys on the yes crew are great, leiter, murcer, oneil, singleton, and flaherty are always nice to listen to. kay is just bad.

MVP MVP MVP

Nice job by ARod to hit a two run homer when the Yanks already have the lead. His home runs always come in meaningless spots.

10-6 Yanks.

We're the 2nd best team in baseball right now, maybe best.
