The only way it's funny is if I beat you to the punch.
I won't do it again. Please carry on, and may you have the chance to say it 2-3 more times tonight.
OK. GameCast had it clearly within the zone, but I take that with several grains of salt.
Beckett's wishing now that he hadn't walked Tex after going up 0-2 on him.
I'm sensing good "different uniforms" mojo. On GameCast, our next three batters are wearing a Marlins cap, a Red Sox cap, and a Reds cap. That's gotta mean something, right?
Just a bit. There's an undercurrent that sees the Yankees lineup as composed exclusively of Olympian gods (those pesky Greeks popping up in a gamethread again!) while the Sox are a bunch of woebegone sad sacks. The numbers say they are good, comparable offenses (so far, at least).
So what I'm seeing is that the Yankees are an unstoppable offensive juggernaut and our only hope to score a single run is to pray for some catcher's interference and HBPs.
I do like that. The one with the pretty pink purse is nice too.
EDIT: Any way someone could Photoshop a big "GO RED SOX" foam finger on his hand instead of the oven mitt? That would be pretty sweet too.
Thanks for the numbers. I was thinking the same thing last night without the quantitative backup. Wouldn't be surprised to see that ERA take a (big) hit today.
Or we could make him look like the second coming of Walter Johnson. We're good at that, too.
