So does anyone still want to replace Miguel Batista with Kyle Farnsworth?

It got a little bit lost in the marathon drama that followed, but there would have been no drama had it not been for Farnsworth's dreadful performance in the eighth and ninth innings. Which was itself wholly in keeping with the work of the Braves' bullpen in this series.

Bobby Cox is a no-doubt Hall of Famer, and rightly so. But no manager is perfect, and this - finding the right guy to give the ball to when it's time to close the game - has long been his Achilles heel.

Tonight, the Angels and Yankees settle the only Division Series that required the full five games. Bartolo Colon vs Mike Mussina, first pitch sometime after 8:00.

Go White Sox.
