WORLD SERIES
Yankees over Mets
Time for my annual how-it-will-happen!
Game 7 Yankees/Mets at the Death Star (Yankee Stadium). Pedro starts for the Mets. Goes through 7 scoreless innings despite incessant "Who\'s Your Daddy" chants. Bottom of the eighth, Mets up 6-0, and the earth stops turning as Willie Randolph trots out Pedro for the eighth. Womack pops out to start the inning. Then Jeter doubles, Williams singles, Matsui doubles and Posada doubles to make it 6-3. Incredibly, Randolph sticks with Pedro... who proceeds to retire Giambi and Sierra. Bottom nine, still 6-3 Mets. Looper promptly loads the bases. Heredia relieves him and strikes out Jeter and Williams. One out away, Heredia gets Matsui to ground weakly to first. But Piazza has it go under his glove, and everyone moves up a base. Now 6-4 Mets and still one out away, Heredia walks Posada to make it 6-5, walks Giambi to make it 6-6, then gives up a grand slam to Sierra and the Yankees win the Series.
