At least our seats were good. (Section 106, Row 13, Seat 10) - four rows back, not 13
Andy Pettitte looked awesome early and worked out of some jams late. Shane Victorino, the "Flyin' Hawaiian", smoked a ball to left field to give the Phillies a 3-0 lead. Damn Carlos Ruiz was on base all night too - 2-3 with 2 2B's and 2 R. Nothing like getting beat by the light hitting eight hole hitter. Oh well, that's the way baseball goes.
Robinson Cano seemed to be the only Yankee in the lineup to have a halfway decent approach at the plate tonight. Granderson was taking check swings on 0-0 fastballs, Gardner seems to forget he flies and tries to lift everything. And don't even get me started on Joba the Hut. He was awful again - he didn't record an out. Two hits and a walk, and then he turned it over to Damaso Marte who proceeded to let up Joba's runs - good for him. Swisher was fed up too, he was in the stands the whole ninth inning. Damaso Marte threw well I thought - besides the time he threw a 3-2 fastball to Utley to the backstop. Chan (w)Ho? Park got torched too, but got bailed out when Raul Ibanez got hit with a ball just off second base, otherwise it would have been worse than the 7-1 loss. Tough to win with only one run on the board.
They lit up Roy Halladay in game one of the series and got shut down by Abe Vigoda, errr Jamie Moyer and Kyle Kendrick. Funny game baseball is. Now Los Mets come in for a three game series. I hope the Mets get pumped.
Lakers are about to win the NBA Championship, and if they were playing any other team in the league, I couldn't care less. But I have Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Doc Rivers' raspy-ass voice.
Paint it purple and gold, Lakers win, theeee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e Lakers win!
