YANKS: The Return of the Jedi
Andy Pettitte returned to the Bronx last night and despite what was a less-than-stellar outing, he still received his well-deserved standing ovation from the crowd when he was taken out in the 5th inning.
It was cold, as was evident by Vikki's shape-shifting and bouncing her knee for some kind of... kinetic, warming, energy? After all the mocking her, I ended up bouncing around by the end of the game too. Thermals are a blessing in disguise and I'm glad I listened to everyone telling me to bring my winter jacket.
Three errors and three wild pitches later, the game was over. Vizcaino blew a tie game with a wild pitch in the top of the 8th and you knew it was over when Abreu failed to hit a sac-fly and A-Rod failed to get the ball to touch God's green grass (or the bleachers... either works).
Other than the Yankees losing, it was an exciting game. The Yankees came back numerous times to keep the game in reach. Both Jeter and Matsui came up with huge hits when it counted and A-Rod got the ball rolling in the beginning of the game until handing his soul to the crowd with a pop-up in the bottom of the 8th. Seriously, he can't keep saving our butt. We should have won facing terrible Tampa Bay pitching.
The crowd was great but what was even greater were the people we met before and after the game. Vikki agreed, I'm very approachable, ha ha. On our train ride there, we did some baseball talk with a proclaimed engineer/baseball physicist. Part of it was the Corona talking. He was really nice though and explained to us about the wind resistance at Coors Field. He also appeared to have an in-depth knowledge of baseball history.
On our way back, some drunk guy thought I was Andy Pettitte and wanted to know where I live. He had some obsession with his headband, which apparently wasn't covering his ears during the game. Pretty funny.
Vikki and I raced (if you want to call it that) back from the station. We even did some kind of 2-step dance, which made us look like drunks but I assure you we weren't. She said her friends would go to more games in the summer and now I've got my hopes up! I will hold back on the pictures for this game. Vikki threatened to kick me in the head (or nuts?) if I posted certain shots.
The chant of the night: BOX SEATS SUCK, BOX SEATS SUCK, BOX SEATS SUCK! Sounds like Boston Sucks; 2-fer.
