THAT'S ONE

"It sounded like October."
THERE haven't been enough nights like this lately, nights where Yankee Stadium could truly clear its throat and let its voice leap toward the night sky, an old-fashioned autumn roar borne of the confidence wonderful baseball inspires. Mostly, the voice had been reduced to gasps, stunned spasms of disbelief as the Yankees kept stumbling into September furniture.

...and "la, la, la" the righteous Christian better bring his "A" game, and his house guests, to the mound today, you feckless Fenway fuckwits' fans, because if you think for a moment that the Stadium is going to allow these loons we call Our Guys to lose on Sunday....

Darth Boss George is gonna wheel out Gigantor flags, the Eagle, the F-15 overflight, free tickets to the NYPD & FDNY will be handed out like candy along with another million dollar check to Katrina relief (still haven't heard about your boy Henry coughing up the bucks); that Mick tenor will probably have backup singers.

Jeter is going to be telling the new guys, "You don't understand; if we lose today, the entire city will kick our asses. Every member of the roster will be considered an open target, and there ain't a cop in the five boroughs who will save our ass. They'll start with the rookie on second base and work their way through the starting nine like Section 39...."

September Eleven. No pressure.

I love this game!

Doesn't Henry date Katie Couric? If so, that explains why no Katrina chack is coming anytime soon from him. Katie is VERY high maintenance!

Don't be surprised if Schilling pulls a 'Game 6' on your non-playoff-bound asses.

BTW: Fuck Skeletor and the affable Ava Braun.
