"You'd better believe we'll be back here [for Game 6]," manager Mike Scioscia said as he walked out of his Yankee Stadium office. "I'm leaving my briefcase here."
For the record, Scioscia took the briefcase, but he had made his point.
So did Torii Hunter, who saw no need for the type of "show some nuts" speech he gave last month in Boston. The Angels are disappointed to be down two games to none, deflated even after a game they led before A-Rod's clutch home run in the 11th, but not devastated or depressed.
And not defeated -- not yet.
"Hey, lot of baseball left, that's all I can say," Hunter said. "Lot of baseball left, and we're going to play a little better. I got this feeling, man, that we're going to have better games, and it's going to be a lot of fun.
"We go home, it's going to be a different scene -- definitely."
Bobby Abreu also chimed in:
"We didn't hit with runners in scoring position, that was our problem," Abreu said. "Monday, it's going to be different."
I wouldn't be surprised if this series went six either, but thanks for giving the Yankees some bulletin board material.
