Fan Interference -- Not Called -- Leads To Yankee Home Run

  • This game (in progress at this moment) has every chance of being Wheels Off.
  • We almost had a Chicago Steve Bartman Moment in the 5th. If the Rangers had scored, that crowd would have killed that guy. 
  • Wow: Naked guy that ran onto the field in last night's game was after A-Rod because of his relationship with Cameron Diaz. That's normal.
  • Going live blog from here on out. 
  • 5th inning: Oh, my. Mark Texiera, who makes $20.6 million for this season, can't run to first base without pulling a hamstring. Ever heard of "stretching"? Not within your pay grade?
  • 7th Inning: Oh, my.  Hamilton. Yard.  I think those Yankee fans are going to burn that place down. 
  • The lead actor from Little Children, Phantom of the Opera (2004), and Hard Candy can sing? (God Bless America in during the 7th inning stretch.)
  • In the 8th, I'm tense  (and it's past my bedtime -- but I respect history so I'm going nowhere.)
  • More from the 8th: Yankees have bases loaded. One out. Is this Game One all over again?
  • Wow. Hit batsman who didn't know it and then flys out on the next pitch.
  • Wow X 2. Shot to Michael Young who bobbles it and then throws out runner. Three outs. Eighth inning over. On to the 9th. 
  • Top of 9th: Josh Hamilton goes deep. Ribs must be healed!
  • Now: Nelson Cruz homers! I just looked at Mrs. LL and said, "I cannot believe what I am seeing!"
  • Bottom of the 9th now. Let's get out of here. 
  • Hello, win column. I really can't believe what I'm seeing.
  • And, finally, an animated GIF of the guys in the stands that started this whole post. (Must see.) What a punch of New York jerks. As has been said, it's like a bunch of Turtles from Entourage.
