Riddle me this...

2nd and 3rd, 1 out. They represent the tying and go-ahead run respectively. Ramiro Pena and Jose Molina coming to the plate against Josh Beckett. Remember those names...Ramiro Pena. Jose Molina. Josh Beckett.

Now can somebody tell me why doesn't Girardi try to bunt the run in from third? Why is Ramiro Pena, the minor league infielder who just lucked into a roster spot with A-Rod's injury, of all people swinging at a 2-0 pitch from a Cy Young runner-up and World Series MVP? Can somebody answer me that?

And while you ponder those thoughts, think of the immortal words of Herm Edwards..."You play to win the game."
