Mariano Rivera returned to the scene of the crime and put on two innings of Houdini action to pin down the win. Javier Vazquez was impressed:
“Only he can get out of that, believe me,” Vazquez said. “We were talking about it. He’s like Iceman out there. He really is unbelievable. What he does and he’s so capable of doing every time out, we have so much confidence. He was really cool.”
Hope you had a notepad with you in the ninth and tenth, Javy, because you almost made Dontrelle Willis look “together”.
Jon Papelbon, coincidentally, blew last night’s save against the Rockies on a walkoff home run by none other than Jason Giambi. If that’s not some kind of celestial event, planets and stars aligning and such, then I don’t know what is.
Great early innings sent me to bed by 10:30, no fewer than four runners got hung up inexplicably on the base paths or trying to take a what-was-he-thinking base. Curtis Granderson is all too happy to help out lately. Per 1Yank’s announcement last night, TB lost again and are now 8-10 in the month of June. Yanks pull to 2 1/2 games over the competition on top of Boston’s Rocky Mountain low.
Meanwhile, R.A. Dickey befluttered the Detroit Tigers for eight shutdown innings in the type of showing that makes Jim Leyland all stiff in the knees. Four hits, two walks, four strikeouts, they’re gonna start calling this guy “Dickey Aces”. Jose Reyes almost went cycle again, marking the tenth multi-hit game in the month of June. Save the rude visit to the Bronx, the Mets stay hot and Jose Reyes is the steam whistle. He’s crossed the plate 18 times in the month of June so far. Jerry Seinfeld and Keith Hernandez seem really close. Also overhead in the booth, had me laughing, Keith on Zumaya: “His bread and butter is the cheese”. Think about that one for a sec. Phil Coke is fat. Four two-out RBIs for the Mets. When you’re hot, you’re hot!
