I said, "You could do that, but it won't be much fun int the long run. And what happens if the Yankees score 10? What will you do then?" He thought it over and didn't commit. When he saw it go to 9-8, he was blown away. Then he went to his bedroom smiling when it was 10-9. And then while he was reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in bed with his mom, I came in, waited for the chapter to end and led him out to the TV one more time. "Mom, you gotta see this, they got fifteen!!!" A valuable lesson, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Bronx Bombers.

The FOX guys mentioned at one point that the Mets have traded seven guys who have gone on to pitch perfect games. That sounds unbelievable, so it may be no-hitters. In any case, if there is a mistake in there it's mine. [59] Also hilarious. I must say, though, that while I don't know much about Lucchino and Werner, Henry is a good guy. [63] Yeah, what is the deal with Pineda? This game would have been really different if he or Phelps had started instead of Garcia. [57] That is great.

I woke up just at the right time. Figured the game would be over, and it was for all intents and purposes. Yahoo! Only problem is Pineda. Fuck me. Forgive me here, but can never have too much pitching. Glad I didn’t wake up early for this. I woke up just at the right time.

Maybe he's finally coming into his own. There's a lot of people who think Rice University has produced a lot of busts. Among Rice first round draft picks who didn't work out as hoped: Jose Cruz Jr., Wade Townsend, David Aardsma, Joe Savery, and the inimitable Bubba Crosby. Phil Humber was on that list, but maybe he'll turn into something. Then again, it was the Mariners... [57] That’s hilarious.
