"With his team clinging to a 4-3 lead and desperate for a victory, (Joel) Zumaya plowed through the thickest part of the Yankees' lineup to help preserve a Game 2 victory. Zumaya did it with a bloodshot right eye — 'it's just allergies,' he said — and the Yankees probably couldn't see that, but goodness, would you want to face a guy with blood in his right eye, a flame tattoo on his left forearm and a 103-m.p.h. fastball in his arsenal? Probably not." - Columnist Michael Rosenberg in the Detroit Free Press (Pumped up, 10/06/2006)
