--Frank Thomas getting Haren an early run when he knows he has a tough assignment
--Haren pitching his ass off and looking PISSED when he gave up that one run, even though he got a good outcome from the situation
--The bench guys picking up their teammates

Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
He just needs to be at Yankee Stadium all the time
Maybe Billy can convince Brian Cashman that Perez is just what they need, the proof being his amazing hitting stats in New York, and trade him for the entire Yankees pitching staff, salary paid and everything.
Watching the game on MLB.tv while installing a kitchen floor. Gotta say, it's great to see the bench guys step it up. It's always fun to see breakouts. Mike Rouse? Smile on, kid. Smile big.
