i want the yankees to win, obviously.

i don't know anything about the team anymore though, except what might appear in a NYP headline.

Since we can the umpires look at replays in the backroom? I don't remember this from my days of baseball obsession.

Watching game three now. Even though I don't care very much!

The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience.

apparently the replay thing has only been a rule since 98.
and that ump just got hit in the fucking face with a ball. which was great.
even Posada's old ass and his takin' a dump batting stance is doing pretty well tonight.
lame out-fielding on the phillies part though.
