brown and kendrick on, dobbs off

Domonic Brown remains on the roster for the NLCS, while Kyle Kendrick replaces Greg Dobbs. Brown is on perhaps for his speed and versatility but it gives me pause that Kendrick is now the 11th pitcher.

Last night's Yankees-Rangers game proved again that in the play-offs little things (covering first, reading the bounce of a ball, not getting picked-off)mean a lot. Last night they added up to a stunning comeback for the Yankees. C.C. Sabathia was worse than in his first start but was again taken off the hook. The Twins gave the Yankees life for sure.

It is brisk and it is windy this morning. More of the same but colder this evening.
