What They Really Mean
Jimmy Cannon is remembered for his columns of one liners titled “Nobody Asked Me But….” There were many memorable statements, such as “Nobody Asked Me But ‘Joe Louis is a credit to his race…the human race.’” However, Cannon also wrote columns titled “What They Really Mean.” With all due respect, the following might be what they mean in 2004.

Better Start Buckling Down
The Yankees have had difficulty winning games this spring, even if they are only exhibition games, but today was different, at least for George Steinbrenner. One day before the game against the Mets, the Yankees’ owner said that “We’re at the point where Billy better start buckling down on them or we won’t repeat.”

And They Finished 17 Games Out
Many years ago, a Yankees team had four Hall of Famers. Their main rival that season was the Boston Red Sox, a team that had not four but FIVE Hall of Famers, but it was the Yankees who won the pennant and swept the Reds in the World Series while Boston finished a distant second, 17 games out of first place.

Gary, Joe, and Gil
It was bound to happen, and after it happened, no one reported it. Gary Sheffield dropped a fly ball in the third inning of yesterday’s game when the ball hit the middle of his glove, which was next to his left hip, and popped out. Fortunately for the self declared Yankees’ team leader, the Texas Rangers had a runner on first, enabling the quick witted, never give in, “I don’t strike out when I don’t want to” Sheffield to fire the fallen baseball to Robinson Cano, who in turn fired to Derek Jeter to force Kevin Mensch at second.

Not So Bad?
The third baseman is a shortstop, the leftfielder is a second baseman, the centerfielder is a left fielder, the first baseman is cheered because he lost some weight and alleges he will now be a good boy, and the starting pitchers are old and ineffective. The setup man throws up before playoff games, and there is no bench.

Six Game Tryout
The situation called for a right handed batter but there was absolutely NO chance of that for two reasons. First, Joe Torre would not send up a hitter for Giambi because this was the last game of Giambi’s six game “tryout.” Second is that the right handed batters on the bench were Andy Phillips, Russ Johnson, John Flaherty, and Rey Sanchez (a switch hitter).

The Mentality of Mediocrity: A Chance to Win
After Al Leiter, formerly of New York’s other team and most recently of the team that defeated a somnambulant Yankees team in the 2003 World Series faced fifteen Indians and walked five of them a few nights ago, allowing five runs in two innings, the lead story in the New York taboids bemoaned the fact that the veteran lefty didn’t give his team a chance to win against the Indians.

This One Belongs to Joe
Joe Torre made the key move, or rather, he didn’t make the move many would have made. Despite the home runs and the emphasis on power, taking pitches, drawing walks, bunting, and getting base hits are what wins games. Cairo had a better chance of reaching base than Clarke had of hitting a home run.

A Miracle?
If their four victories against the Yankees occurred in any other sequence in the best of seven series, the miracle would have been that the Red Sox won the World Series, not that they won a playoff series, but because they won the final four games against the Yankees after losing the first three, it became a miracle.

They Didn't Always Hit Home Runs
When fans think of the Brooklyn Dodgers they usually think of Ebbets Field and Brooklyn’s devastating home run power. The Brooklyn Dodgers' last decade, the decade of Jackie Robinson, PeeWee Reese, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella, Carl Furillo, and Don Newcombe has left an indelible association between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the home run, but it was not always so.
