Mr. Chass, sir, you mean the same Jesse Litsch who embarrassed the Red Sox too?

"A victory would have put the Yankees one game behind, but Andy Pettitte had one bad inning and the Yankees’ hitters had nine bad innings.

• Scoring one run in seven and two-thirds innings against a substitute starter, Jesse Litsch, a 22-year-old right-hander, is no way to get in position to embarrass the Red Sox."

You mean the same 22 year old "substitute starter" who embarrassed the Red Sox too last week (Sept. 19) at Toronto, beating them 6-1? (sm) (Baseball Reference box score).

From NY Times column by Murray Chass, "Leaving the Light on for the Boss," 9/25/07

• P.S. Jesse Litsch is a former bat boy for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. (item from Bill Madden's NY Daily News column, 9/25/07).
