Game 160: Yankees (Happ) at Red Sox (Johnson)

If we can just get passed Oakland, I like our chances with Boston. Sale is a big question mark, we hit lefthanders well, our lineup is clicking, etc. But anything can happen in that one game Wild Card. I'm praying whoever starts the game does not give a bunch of early runs to Oakland. That's my biggest fear.

Yes. Years ago at a game Pettitte pitched some fat prick took a swing at me for cheering for the Yankees. He missed, fell over and security escorted him and his painfully embarrassed son out of the park.

Taking my kids today. If anyone gives them shit they’re going to regret it

I absolutely do not believe the radar guns today. It doesn’t make sense that all of a sudden so many people can throw high 90s - including guys who couldn’t when they were younger. Doesn’t work that way.

You guys wearing the colors of the home team???

Fatness made me remember a time that I was in Baltimore and three brave fellows decided to get together to target me in my Yankee hat right as the game ended, even though I pretty much say quietly through the game, which the Yankees won. Since they had been drinking, I guess they needed a target and I was on the third base side of the field where the Oriole faithful sit. As the crowd was leaving the stadium I was able to maneuver my way through the crowd to where they lost me, step aside at a vendor's booth and take a position a short ways behind them as they continued to holler taunts and look for me. It was really great fun, since twice I heard one say, "there he is" as they pushed people aside only to find someone else...Dumbass drunks...I never revealed myself. Wasn't worth it...
