The Dodgers wish that was the final score, Craig.

I wonder if the two-out, game-winning extra base hit in the ninth to win 5-4 qualifies as some sort of revenge by the A’s distant cousins for 21 years ago.

A twelve-inch high model of Stonehenge then descended from the ceiling behind Girardi…

For the record, I would never hold your obvious NL East biases against you.  I, for one, would never, ever pick the Braves to win anything.  This said, I was at this game (hello, wedding present!) and it was everyone you could ask for in a ballgame.  Other than short, of course.  LOVED IT.

You do yourself a disservice by reading and responding to idiot commenters, Craig.

There are so many Items of Idiocy to pin on Joe (“Put me in coach” “OK”) Girardi from last night.
My personal favorite is- it was a long ball night for the team.  I think I picked this up by the eighth after Jeter (?!), ARod, and Damon had all the runs on singletons.  Matsui gets on, replaced by Gardner whom we somehow convinced has to steal second NOW NOW NOW on a 0-1 count. Two pitches later, home run, where is Gardner? Oh, what are you doing in the dugout?
Joe, you don’t play EVERYONE you play your BEST!
Since Joe is -2 WAR, still Yankees in 6. Sigh.

As a father, it’s your responsibility to NEVER admit you don’t know something, even when you clearly don’t.  “Dad, why is the sky blue?”  “Because the color of the ocean is reflected in the sky.” So when I got, “Dad, why is he taking Robertson out?”  I toyed with “Because he bet on the Angels” or “He forgot how many times he had visited the mound”, and I sincerely wish I would have thought of Craig’s “He wanted everyone to get a turn”.  Instead, a childhood ended last night. (ok, he’s 16, but give me some dramatic license.)  “I don’t know, son.  I just don’t know.”

I don’t know, Joe.  I just don’t know.

Since it’s almost 11 AM EDT and I haven’t seen this ATH on the Blue Network, I’ll take it that this post is for mature audiences only, or you were reserving the aforementioned server space for the spitball segment.
Good choice, Craig, it’s nine more hours til the game.
