Ah, the big inning. It's been the hot topic around Daisuke Matsuzaka, that one inning that can cost a team a game in a pitcher's inability to get the final out. Or anyone out.

One of the best events in sports is happening this weekend, but I&#39;d be surprised if many of you know about it because I&#39;m not talking about a marquee college football matchup or the Yankees-Red Sox series.

Mike Mussina pitched seven scoreless innings on Tuesday night. (John Dunn for The New York Times) âI canât say that, because we havenât allowed ourselves the luxury of thinking that,â Joe Torre said. âNot only for him, but for anybody.â Maybe I should have known better than to ask that question before the Yankees have clinched.

Are these guys ever going to have a game that doesn't come down to the last possession? It seems that, if nothing else, the Celtics give you 48 minutes worth. Sometimes more.
