Alex Rodriguez had gone 55 at-bats without a HR, a fact much noted by the knights of the keyboard in this town, but he just pulled #53, for his 151st RBI -- a grand slam to put the Yankees ahead 5-0.
Can Kai Igawa, on the mound because Roger Clemens's 45 year-old hamstring is hurting, pitch well enough so that what the Tigers and Mariners do tonight won't matter?
In May and well into June this team looked like it was swimming in sludge. Many, myself included, thought that they were done -- no kind of realistic comeback would pull them past seven teams to take the wild card (let alone pull within two of the Red Sox, who are winning right now) -- it must feel real good in that dugout down in Florida right now.
Oh, and David Brooks clinched another Most Wanker Pundit (MWP) award. Glenn Greenwald explains.
UPDATE: Wrong -- the Sox are tied with the A's (why the A's are forced to come East the last week of the season is beyond me), 1-1.
The Mets...I feel for their fans (despite their annoying cockiness back in the Spring)...they can't bail water out of the boat fast enough and are losing again to the Nationals. Detroit just scored to take a 1-0 lead against the Twinkies. And Kei Igawa just pitched out of a bases loaded, 2 out jam.
UPDATE: Oh, shit. Leave for a few moments to watch "The War (really pretty good, but it's still war porn)" and I come back to find the Devil'd eggs scored six in the sixth. The Yankees would tie, but...the majik number remains at one.
