Interleagues…Cool!
Yanks have the best record in the league in 1-run ballgames at 8-2 (runner-up is LAD at 9-3; no one else is even close). I don’t go back far, but I have never seen a Yankee team walk off this many games. I’m glad I left the NYDN pages leaving everybody thinking I was Melky’s biggest fan (actually, I led the lynch mob to Melky’s locker last year, but that’s besides the point). Can’t say enough about what Alex Rodriguez is bringing to this team right now. For those that watch closely these last few years, he even looks like a different person, as if he’s trying to ignore the camera – surely a monumental feat for His Alex-ness. No, I don’t care that he’s batting .200.
Tampa is a chosen destination these days.
I humbly bestow upon the Mets the title of “Honorary Yankees”. Kind of like Jrz said (incidentally, he’s our second winner EVAH of the 2-for-3 and doesn’t seem to stop winning):
Gas and tolls: $55
Admission Ticket and Parking: $125
Beer and Hot Dog: $25
Pegging KY and tattooing Papelpout while watching those New England babies lose their collective composure not being able to scratch out a series win versus the 86ers: PRICELESS. Go to the “Mets win” link above, click on the “Wright Saves the Day” video link to see Castillo weather a nasty Youkilis slide for the out and Jon Papelbon lose his mind. Hard to understate what it could mean psychologically to the Red Sox and their fans to drop a series to the Mets as the bruises are just starting to soften from Manny’s dethroning. The Boston toilet may have just been flushed.
Eeesh…K-Rod collapsing…
