It's the top of the ninth and the Yankees are leading 7-3 over the Phillies. They are three outs away from their 27th Word Series title. Time to jump in and provide commentary!
11:38 PM Personally, I thought it was a bad idea to bring Rivera in so early. They had a four-run lead. He didn't need to record the final five outs. Maybe Joe was trying to make sure Mariano would be named MVP?
11:39 PM Rivera's set to face Francisco, Ruiz, and Rollins this inning.
11:42 PM And they've brought in Matt Stairs to bat for Francisco.
11:43 PM Line drive to Jeter. One away.
11:43 PM Carlos Ruiz at the plate.
11:45 PM Full count on Ruiz.
11:46 PM Rivera walks Ruiz.
11:46 PM Double play time!
11:46 PM Rollins doesn't get enough. Long fly out to Swisher.
11:47 PM One out away! Victorino at the plate.
11:48 PM Big whiff. One strike away!
11:49 PM Victorino has fouled off three in a row.
11:50 PM Make that four.
11:50 PM Full count. 9-pitch AB.
11:50 PM Ground out to Cano! BALL GAME!
11:52 PM How about Matsui's night? 3 for 4, 2B, HR, 6 RBI. Wow.
11:54 PM It's cool seeing each individual player's reaction to the final out.
11:57 PM And they're already trying to sell us stuff! Only $29.99 for a Yankees World Series Champs hat. Gotta love capitalism.
12:01 AM Time for South Park. Night everyone!
It's been a pretty good year for me, sportswise (yeah, I made that up). Carolina won the NCAA tournament in April and now the Yankees win the World Series.
You listening to this, Panthers?
