[milky_way]

Schilling undefeated at home this year :(

[Dark_Angel]

Game time! :clap:

Let's play ball.

[milky_way]

Two quick outs :(

[Dark_Angel]

Sheff homers! :banana:

[milky_way]

Oh I love Sheff :lust:

Homer #399 of his career :smokin:

[milky_way]

Alex K's :(

1-0 Yanks thanks to Sheff

LET'S GO LIEBER! :banana:

[Dark_Angel]

A-Rod strikes out. :eviltongu

But WTG, Sheff! :clap: Nice way to get things started. :thumbsup:

[milky_way]

Oh no, that Foxwood commercial is on MLB.tv too!! :scared:

[milky_way]

Weird, off the bat it looked like those two balls were smoked, and yet they were weak grounders to first :confused:

[milky_way]

Two-out single for the bat thrower :(

[Dark_Angel]

Manny struck out swinging. :cool:

[milky_way]

Liebs gets Manny swinging :banana:

Scoreless 13-pitch inning for Lieber :thumbsup:

[milky_way]

Yanks go down 1-2-3 :(

[milky_way]

Leadoff single for Nomar :(

C'MON LIEBS! :banana:

[milky_way]

Goddammit.

Nixon doubles in Nomar from first. Tie game :angry:

[Dark_Angel]

Trot doubles. Nomar scores.

Damn. :(

[milky_way]

Oh God.

It looks like we have the Bad Lieber today :angry:

[Dark_Angel]

Friggin' Mueller hits a 2-run home run! :angry:

:bonehead

And there's just 1 out.

[milky_way]

Fenway cheers as the bat flies into the Yankees dugout.

[milky_way]

Ok end of inning. 3-1 Sox through 2.0

LET'S GO BATS! TIE THIS UP AGAIN! :banana:

[milky_way]

2-out double for Bernie.

Someone get him in!

[milky_way]

Jeter lined it at Manny. Bernie stranded :(

KEEP THEM AT 3 LIEBS!

[Dark_Angel]

Fenway cheers as the bat flies into the Yankees dugout.
Am I the only one who finds that just plain nasty?

Personally, I wouldn't cheer or be happy if one of the Sox got whacked with a bat or got hurt. When Johnny Damon had that collision on the field during the playoffs last year, I was worried about him because it looked so serious.

Hell, I don't even boo the Sox when I'm at Yankee Stadium.

But that's just me. :hmm:

[milky_way]

Woah, that was close.

Still 3-1 :wait:

[Dark_Angel]

Sox are scoreless in the 3rd.

[Dark_Angel]

HALLELUJAH! :banana:

A-Rod with a base hit.

[milky_way]

But that's just me. :hmm:
Hey I booed the Sox :D

You're right that it's classless to cheer injuries. Wasn't really classy to cheer a bat flying at the other team's bench either. But that's the rivalry for ya...I can't say that a bat flying into the Sox dugout at the Stadium wouldn't be cheered by Yankees fans. Some people are just like that :notme:

A-Rod singles :banana:

[milky_way]

Derek still has a scar on his face... :(

[milky_way]

If I wasn't worried about Jason's health, I would be cursing him right now.

Still 3-1 as A-Rod is erased on a DP.

HOLD THEM AT 3 LIEBS!

[milky_way]

Wow, ARod tried to take down Mueller on that DP...

[Dark_Angel]

Millar homers.

Lieber, you suck right now. :angry:

[milky_way]

Fortunately Lieber is healthy and therefore I can cuss him out.

YOU SUCK LIEBER! :angry:

[Dark_Angel]

Mueller's on second.

Dammit!

[milky_way]

GODDAMMIT LIEBER STOP THROWING BATTING PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry:

[milky_way]

Out of the inning.

WE CAN GET 3 RUNS OFF OF SCHILLING! :banana:

[milky_way]

Leadoff hit past the diving new dude :banana:

RALLY YANKS! :banana:

[Dark_Angel]

Jorge singles.

C'mon, Matsui! Hit a home run now and bring us within one.

[Dark_Angel]

Matsui with a base hit! :banana:

Runners on 1st and 2nd.

[milky_way]

Matsui singles to right.

Sensing a Yankee rally, Enrique promptly flies out :(

WTF is up with NESN? They play promos in between pitches...

[Dark_Angel]

Kenny singles!

Jorge scores!

It's 4-2. :cool:

[Kiwideus]

What the hell is Williams doing as a lead off hitter? :angry:

[milky_way]

Yeah KLo!

He was out. But I'll take it.

[milky_way]

If these replays prove anything, it's that Jorge is the worst baserunner in the history of humanity :evillol

[Dark_Angel]

Hi Jacob! :wavey2:

I don't know why Bernie's leading off. It should be Lofton.

Bases are loaded for Jeter and Sheff! :clap:

[milky_way]

Bases loaded, one out for Jeter :banana:

[Kiwideus]

Howdy Deanna and Mari :wave1:

Oh boy! I hope Jeter can hit with bases loaded! Sheff is looking good!

[milky_way]

Derek K's :(

Down to Sheff, as it always seems to be...

[Dark_Angel]

Derek strikes out swinging. :(

It's up to Sheff to do something. :Pray:

[Kiwideus]

Sheff is waiting for the right pitch :D

[milky_way]

Hey Kiwi :wave1:

[Dark_Angel]

:Puter:

[milky_way]

Crap.

Damn.

Other expletives.

[Kiwideus]

Come on Matsui!!!! no more errors! :angry:

[milky_way]

WTF?!? Nice play Hideki :angry:

[milky_way]

I take that back, that was Lofton's ball.

NESN goes into another weird promo break.

[Kiwideus]

Come on, Manny! swing and miss!!! :loser:

[Dark_Angel]

Come on, Manny! swing and miss!!! :loser:
He did! :D

[Kiwideus]

Gotcha! Manny struck out :evillol

[milky_way]

What the hell? Lieber gives up homers to Mueller and Millar and yet he K's Manny twice :evillol

[Dark_Angel]

Nomah grounded out.

Tek was left on second. :cool:

[milky_way]

Alright, Lieber worked around the error.

Schilling's up to 79 pitches through 5.0. The Yanks need to take pitches and get him the heck outta there.

[milky_way]

Nice start A-Rod

[Dark_Angel]

A-Rod singles -- again! :clap:

[Kiwideus]

A-rod is hitting slightly better but he can do better than that though :hmm:

[Dark_Angel]

Giambi strikes out swinging. :angry:

Why isn't Clark playing 1B tonight?

[milky_way]

What an at-bat by Jason. Excellent, excellent at-bat.

Two on, no outs, Curt's pitch count way the hell up there.

[Dark_Angel]

Giambi walked?

Gameday said he struck out!

[milky_way]

Curt's in trouble. Capitalize, Yanks.

[Kiwideus]

Not sure why Clark is not playing, Torres tend to make strange decision sometimes.

Giambi struck out or walked??? GameDay is confusing me :angry:

[milky_way]

Yup he walked. 10-pitch at bat I think.

Jorge's having a nice at-bat here himself.

[Dark_Angel]

Jorge singles!

A-Rod scores!

It's 4-3.

[Kiwideus]

:banana: :banana:
Jorge is the man! :D
We don't want to lose him!

[milky_way]

Two great at-bats by Giambi and Posada.

One run game. Get Schilling now.

[Dark_Angel]

It confused me, too. :confused:

It said, "Jason Giambi strikes out swinging." Then it said, "Jason Giambi walks."

Stupid Gameday.

[Kiwideus]

It confused me, too. :confused:

It said, "Jason Giambi strikes out swinging." Then it said, "Jason Giambi walks."

Stupid Gameday.

GameDay tend to make mistakes and it can be so annoying :hmm:

[milky_way]

Wow that was almost a double play. Thank god for that throw by Millar.

[Kiwideus]

RUBEN!!!

[Dark_Angel]

Ruben singles!

WE'RE TIED!!! :banana:

[milky_way]

Oh my god we have luck on our side tonight :clap:

Tie game baby, tie game :smokin:

[milky_way]

Man that was one weird non play by Millar


KENNY! YANKEES TAKE THE LEAD!!! :banana:

[Dark_Angel]

Kenny doubles!

Matsui scores!

5-4 Yankees!!! :banana:

[milky_way]

Bye bye Curt :wave1: :luvkiss:

[Dark_Angel]

Timlin is replacing Schilling.

[Kiwideus]

Curt is done for now!! FINALLY! :banana: :banana:

[milky_way]

Wow this guy even has his own shadow, lol ----> :wave1:

[milky_way]

BOOM! What was that? Schilling's ERA blowing up :D

[Kiwideus]

dang! nice hit by Williams!!! :thumbsup:

[Dark_Angel]

It's 7-4!!! :banana:

[Kiwideus]

BOOM! What was that? Schilling's ERA blowing up :D


:evillol I reckon he is getting the taste of Red Sox curse!

[milky_way]

He was SAFE.

Oh well, we got the Jorge call.

[Dark_Angel]

That'd be awesome if the Yankees gave Schilling his first loss at Fenway. :evillol

[milky_way]

Lieber or the bullpen? I want to go to Q already.

[Dark_Angel]

Here comes Q... :cool:

[milky_way]

It's Q.

Despite being banged around, this was actually a decent start by Lieber. WTG Liebs.

[Dark_Angel]

EFF! :angry:

A home run by Millar.

[milky_way]

Shit.

7-5 on a LONG Millar homer

[milky_way]

Settle down Q...

[milky_way]

Aaaah, these promos are so weird! :freak:

[milky_way]

Oh. My. GOD.

Q is getting HAMMERED :eek:. Thank God they're staying in the park. Gordon and Mo to work 3 innings? http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/erm.gif

[Kiwideus]

Q need to take it easy

[milky_way]

Haha, ARod seems to be leading off every inning :clap:

[Dark_Angel]

A-Rod strikes out. :eviltongu

[Kiwideus]

oh man! A-Rod struck out! dammit!

[milky_way]

A-Rod K's :(

[Dark_Angel]

Aurgh! :banghead

Giambi grounds out.

[milky_way]

Posada's having a nice game :cool:

[Kiwideus]

Posada is 3 for 4 today! He is definitely the man tonight! :thumbsup:

[milky_way]

Oh no.

No, no, no, no, no...

Heredia's warming :eek:

[Dark_Angel]

Matsui strikes out and Jorge's stranded on 1st. :(

[Dark_Angel]

Heredia?! :eek:

What about Flash?

[milky_way]

Top of the order coming up. Some combination of Q, Heredia, and Gordon will pitch. We need to get out of this inning with the lead.

[Dark_Angel]

Johnny Damon singles. :eviltongu

Clark has replaced Giambi.

[milky_way]

Crap. Get Q outta there, he doesn't have it tonight.

[milky_way]

Oh my God. Every ball has been hammered off of Q, save the pop up. ARE YOU WAITING FOR HIM TO GIVE UP THE LEAD JOE?!??!?? :angry: :angry: :angry:

[Dark_Angel]

DAMMIT! :Pissed:

It's 7-6.

[milky_way]

Oh how comforting, here comes Heredia. Let's go FELIX!

[milky_way]

I could KICK Quantrill right now :angry:. Way to blow the momentum dude.

C'mon Heredia, remember June 30th...

[Dark_Angel]

He walked Ortiz! :bash:

[milky_way]

Well at least it wasn't a hit...


Here comes Flash, who should have been in all along.

[milky_way]

Oh nice, my MLB.tv is freezing :hmm:

C'mon Flash :banana:

[milky_way]

[milky_way]

Oh my god I nearly had a heart attack.

[Kiwideus]

Looks like Flash is having difficult time pitch against Ortiz and Rameriz is next! :eek:

[Dark_Angel]

Ortiz strikes out swinging! :cool:

[Kiwideus]

:banana: :banana:
Ortiz's OUT!!!

[milky_way]

Does every damn Sox game have to be so freakin stressful?

Flash gets a HUGE K to end the inning.

TIME TO SCORE YANKS!!!!!!!!!! LET'S NOT WEAR OUT OUR BULLPEN FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES! :eek: :banana:

[Kiwideus]

They are going to face Foulke! :eek:

Yes, every game against Red Sox can be hectic!

[milky_way]

That was so damn close :(

[milky_way]

Oh wow, that was a strike.

[milky_way]

Double for Sheff off the Monster.

C'mon Alex...please... :banana:

[milky_way]

FRICKEN MLB.TV DIED ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:


Oh, it's back again :)

[Dark_Angel]

That's all folks! :clap:

The Yankees win!!!

:banana:

[milky_way]

Mo is so cool :evillol :fro:

THE YANKEES WIN!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Take that Schilling :tongue:

[Thedatch]

well, what can i say...the yankees did not deserve to win that game, and yet they did. millar cant field. manny choked. foulke deserves to die. and mariano rivera is the best closer in the game. :notme: can't do anything about it

that was an aweful game

[Kiwideus]

The Yankees DESERVED to win this game and they earned it! :D

:banana: :banana:
Schilling got the taste of Red Sox curse today! :evillol

[Dark_Angel]

I can't believe we beat Schilling. :eek:

Although it was stressful, that was a great game! :cool:

[milky_way]

That win was all heart. Way to battle back Yanks :)

Gordon threw 30 pitches, got out of two huge jams, and even though he gave up the lead he kept us in the game. Gutty, gutty performance. He is the difference between last year's squad and this one :smokin:

Wow, Schilling was crying? I feel......sorta.....bad for him.........

[Dark_Angel]

The Yankees DESERVED to win this game and they earned it! :D
Definitely.

The Yankees are the ones who battled back and ended up winning the game. They did deserve to win for the way they played. :thumbsup:

[Dark_Angel]

Huh? Schilling cried?

[milky_way]

well, what can i say...the yankees did not deserve to win that game, and yet they did. millar cant field. manny choked. foulke deserves to die. and mariano rivera is the best closer in the game. :notme: can't do anything about it

that was an aweful game
There have been many games the Yanks didn't deserve to win this year, but I think they deserved this one. The offense never gave up, and Gordon really gutted it out.

Giambi and Posada deserves mega props for their at-bats in the sixth against Schilling. Those were HUGE.

And A-Rod. Finally :D

[milky_way]

Huh? Schilling cried?
That's what I'm reading. I got the NESN feed so I didn't see it (it was on YES) :notme:

[milky_way]

BTW, Deanna and Kiwi, I think this thread is the longest in Yankee Forum history :eek: :banana: :clap: We rock :D :smokin:

I'm torn between pity and giddiness :notme:

[PissedPrincess]

He'll do more than cry when I'm done with him. :)

[Thedatch]

Definitely.

The Yankees are the ones who battled back and ended up winning the game. They did deserve to win for the way they played. :thumbsup:

how can you call it a battle when our own little douchebag kevin millar took a ball that was going foul, picked it up, and couldnt do a thing with it. what the hell?!!?!?! thats all red sox. also, the sox couldnt turn a double play. look...hats of to the yanks, they won, but the red sox lost this game, the yanks didnt win it. (if you get my drift :notme:)

[Dark_Angel]

My point is, we took advantage of the Sox and their mistakes and won.

The whole game was back and forth. The Yankees had the lead and then the Sox tied it. The Sox took the lead and the Yanks tied it. And so on and so on. The Red Sox had opportunities to score and they didn't. The Yankees battled (or whatever word you prefer) to win the game and they did.

well...look, the yankees won the game, and theres nothing i can say thats gonna change that. ya just cant give the yankees extra outs. thats why i said the yanks didnt ""deserve" this win, because, well, if the sox dont make errors, they probably win the game...you know what im saying? the yanks won, thats it, the end, its ova...o.v.a...ova

[Dark_Angel]

BTW, Deanna and Kiwi, I think this thread is the longest in Yankee Forum history :eek: :banana: :clap: We rock :D :smokin:
I know. :D

I didn't realize how long it was! I have over 50 posts in it. :eek:

I had fun "watching" the game with you guys. :)

[rockin500]

this is a bit ummmm crazy thread! lol

[Dark_Angel]

ya just cant give the yankees extra outs. thats why i said the yanks didnt ""deserve" this win, because, well, if the sox dont make errors, they probably win the game...you know what im saying?
That's very true and I see your point. And you know what? If the Sox hadn't made those mistakes, they would have won.

It's never good to give a team more than 27 outs. :no:

I must say that I thought we were screwed there for awhile. :D You guys really got to Lieber and I thought with Schilling on the mound, we would lose.

[Thedatch]

hey, we feel alike...interesting :D

[rockin500]

yup. BTW, i know what you mean about 27 outs. my boys like to give up 29 to 30 outs (even if they arent errors) on average. :angry:

[milky_way]

how can you call it a battle when our own little douchebag kevin millar took a ball that was going foul, picked it up, and couldnt do a thing with it. what the hell?!!?!?! thats all red sox. also, the sox couldnt turn a double play. look...hats of to the yanks, they won, but the red sox lost this game, the yanks didnt win it. (if you get my drift :notme:)
I guess this is where we disagree. If Millar's non-play directly resulted in two or three runs scoring, I could see your point, but only one run scored, and that run only tied the game. And to even GET to that point, Giambi and Posada put together GREAT at-bats, especially when you consider they were both struggling mightily, especially Jason. No Boston error let the go-ahead runs in either the sixth or the ninth inning score. Yes Boston errors helped keep the sixth inning alive, but the Yanks still had to capitalize in order to get the go-ahead runs in, which they did.

And even after the crazy sixth, Boston still had a great chance, SEVERAL great chances to take the game. But Gordon gutted it out and kept it tied.

Bottom line: the Yanks lineup got to Schilling, the Yanks pitchers kept them in the game. For those reasons, they deserved to win.

[Dark_Angel]

I'm torn between pity and giddiness :notme:
:eek:

I'm kinda leaning more towards feeling shocked. It's not everyday you see a 6'5" pitcher cry.

They said on SportsCenter that after being pulled from the game, he sat in the dugout for awhile and he was so upset, that he had to be consoled.

Schilling made a comment in the paper the other and said something like, "I expect us to win every game that I pitch. If we don't, then I've done something tremendously wrong."

[milky_way]

BTW, the Yanks made two errors too. Granted, neither would lead to a run, but I'm just pointing out that both teams made mistakes. The Yanks capitalized and the Sox didn't.

[Thedatch]

you cant give good teams more outs, which is what the yanks did. not only did millar make a mistake, the sox also failed to turn a double play before that. so the inning should have been over way before. the yankees didnt do that, the sox did

[milky_way]

:eek:

I always liked Schilling as a player. Too bad he's a Red Sox.

[Thedatch]

thats right, so the red sox lost the game, because they didnt capitalize, and because we gave up those errors. just proved my point.

[Dark_Angel]

By the way, pardon me for saying this, Datch, but your closer, Foulke? He sucks. :thumbdown

The Sox tied the game and he basically blew it for them.

[Thedatch]

By the way, pardon me for saying this, Datch, but your closer, Foulke? He sucks. :thumbdown

...you're apologising? come by the sox forum and check out princess' thread about him.

By the way, pardon me for saying this, Datch, but your closer, Foulke? He sucks. :thumbdown

Yeah well, pardon me for calling all you non-NY'ers frontrunners.

We are well aware Foulke sucks. :)

[Dark_Angel]

Yeah well, pardon me for calling all you non-NY'ers frontrunners.
What do you mean front-runners? :notme:

[Thedatch]

i never understood that term either?

[PissedPrincess]

A front-runner is someone who roots for a team because they're good.

I actually adore Milky, I'm half-kidding. I always did wonder how people don't root for their home teams.

I guess I'm old, when I grew up, you rooted for your home team. Good or bad. Anything else and you would be shot. :D

[Thedatch]

ahhhh, i see. well, if you have family who is one fan, its tough to be anything else you know? no matter where you live.

[milky_way]

you cant give good teams more outs, which is what the yanks did. not only did millar make a mistake, the sox also failed to turn a double play before that. so the inning should have been over way before. the yankees didnt do that, the sox did
That was a maybe double play, IMO. Matsui got to the bag around the same time Schilling did, so it would have been really close.

And if Millar lets the ball go foul, Sierra's still alive. Who's to say he doesn't single in the run anyway?

If the Sox had an error like the Ortiz one back in the Wakefield start or the Nomar one in the game before that where crucial runs scored as a direct result of the error, then I can see your point. But the Sox errors today were iffy. The double play was a maybe and we don't know what would have happened if Sierra stayed alive. It's hard for me to say that those plays decided the game because IMO, Giambi's and Posada's at-bats and Gordon's heroics (getting Manny to GIDP and his K of Ortiz) were the deciding moments of the game. Especially Gordon's pitching, because in those spots the game could easily have gone to Boston, but Gordon got out of it.

[PissedPrincess]

ahhhh, i see. well, if you have family who is one fan, its tough to be anything else you know? no matter where you live.

Eh, no it's not. No one knows this, but my Dad's brothers are all Yankee fans. My grandpa played for the Yankees, and managed them at the Triple A level in the 40's before he went to war. Despite family pressure, I grew up a Sox fan.

[Thedatch]

doesnt matter if they are iffy, you cant make mistakes. sierra is still alive, so who knows, but its better than him being on base...am i right?

the yankees won, lets stop arguing about this, my hands are getting tired of typing :D

ahem... :D

[PissedPrincess]

You aren't a Yank fan silly. :PPsmilie:

[Thedatch]

ohhh, this forum, ok... i thought so! :D

I'm not a front-runner.

My father was born and raised in New York City and grew up a Yankees fan. He brought me to a lot of games when I was younger, always watched their games with me and told me stories about the history of the Yankees and all of the outstanding players who've been a part of the team. Of course, that was all before I became estranged from him. :hmm:

That's why I'm a fan of the Yankees. Growing up, I also spent a lot of time in New York and I still do. So, in a way, I feel like a New Yorker.

I suppose it's odd not to root for your home team, but I don't. My brother, for example, is a Raiders fan and also roots for the Yankees. I'm a Pats fan, myself.

[PissedPrincess]

You are a Pats fan? Why?

[PissedPrincess]

Sorry about your Dad. See? Yankee fans are evil. :D

[PissedPrincess]

You are a Pats fan? Why?

I'm not trying to be evil I hope you know, I'm just always curious as to how people become fans. :)

[Dark_Angel]

You are a Pats fan? Why?
One of my best friends is a Pats fan and about four years ago, I was over at her house and she was watching a game of theirs. I had zero interest. I hated football, but I sat there I watched it and the more I watched, the more I liked and I found myself getting into it. I thought, "Hey! This is pretty cool." They ended up losing, but I still liked them.

I was a Patriots fan from then on. My brother and I had fun during the Super Bowl in 2002. ;)

:rolling

Thanks Jacqui. :)

[PissedPrincess]

I hate the Raiders more than the Yankees.....far more.

Was your brother dropped on his head? :D

Well, we can chat during football season. Night hon. :wavey2:

[PissedPrincess]

FOULKE SUCKS!

We enjoy you, too.

This forum wouldn't be the same without you!

You hate something more than the Yankees? :eek: I'm shocked! :D

Night! :wave1:

[milky_way]

I wish I had a home team :(. Heck I wish people around here would watch baseball...serious baseball fans here are few and far between, at least in my experiences :(

Eh, bandwagonner, front-runner, I'll suck up all the labels. My whole generation is technically front-runners until we prove otherwise. We'll have our share of decades of losing eventually, and once that happens those who want to can shed that label the way older people can now say "Hey I lived through the 80s!" Our time will come :smokin:. The Yanks aren't gonna win forever.

Night you guys :wave1:. I hope tomorrow is less stressful since I really need to get some homework done...http://forums.nyyfans.com/images/smilies/erm-ah.gif

Milky I hope you know I was joking. I don't think of you that way at all.

I think it's cool someone from Hawaii likes sports. :thumbsup:

(Being pregnant blows) I'm exhausted one minute, wide awake the next. :hmm:

[milky_way]

Lol, thanks PP :)

Haha, I felt that way once after this looooooong plane ride where I didn't drink any water. Whoo that was fun :drink1:

[Kiwideus]

BTW, Deanna and Kiwi, I think this thread is the longest in Yankee Forum history :eek: :banana: :clap: We rock :D :smokin:
Simple, We're the best! :thumbsup:

[Yankee 21]

Holy chit...this is a long thread!
Ok, I believe Jac knows why I'm a yankee fan but for the rest of you who don't...My Dad died when I was 4 and one of the few memories I have of him was sitting on his lap watching Yankee games and him telling me stories about The Babe and Mickey and Roger..etc. Plus when i was 18 I almost died..seriously and I was in Columbia Presbytarian hospital in NYC and It seemed like the only time I felt even a little better was when i was watching or at a Yankee game. I met and talked to Don Mattingly and jokingly said, hit a homer for me tonight OK..and he did..I know it wasn't for me but still made me feel halfway human for a little while. So there you have it!
What a great game lastnight!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: for everybody!!!
