A question: do front pages count as two back pages? Just wondering.

Also, did you realize that tomorrow is Mickmas, the birth of Mickey Mantle, and hence a sacred day on the Yankees calendar? What a cosmic convergence it would be to win it on such a day!

I think we need a new song, too.

How about this one, with apologies to Little Feat, and the amazing cover Linda Ronstadt did of it:

Willin'

We been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
We're drunk and dirty
Don't ya know
But we're still
Willin'
Out on the road
Late last night
We saw that damned Keuchel in every headlight
Keuchel
Dallas Keuchel

And we've been through him and Erwin Sanatana
McCullers and Kluber twice
Beaten every kind of pitcher that's ever been made
Beaten their bullpens, we just wouldn't fade
And if you give us
Judge, Gary, and Didi
And you show us a sign
We'll be willin'
To be movin'

And we've been kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had our heads stove in
But we're still on our feet
And we're willin'
Oh, we're willin'

And we've beaten Peacock and Carson McCullers
Beat that Bauer jerk with his long toss
Beaten teams that won a hundred games down
Would've beaten the Red Sox if they'd stuck around
And if you give us
Sevvy, Chappy, and Hiro
And you show us a sign
We'll be willin'
To be movin'
On to LA..."

I just want to say that, and also ask:

What do we think the IBS Lady is thinking just now? Is she proud?

With all humility, who or what is the IBS Lady?
