World Series Game 1

Juice Ape, first at bat. Cliff Lee whiffs him like a cur. The atmosphere is lookin pretty dismal at the ol' new Yankee Stadium. A wet den of sinful iniquity. The house that Hideki Matsui built.

Speakin of the house, old news, but I always think of how this could've been a sweet jinx. A little curse like the goatman at Wrigley Field.



Back to the play by play.

Redemption for Utley's Boner in the top of the 3rd. Pip pip, one to nothing Philadelphians old boy. Trip out brodeo drive...



Derek Jeter, or Jerek Leter as the commentator refers to him, gets on with an erect doubleday, but it goes flaccid.

Juice Ape/Cliff Lee round 2. Whiffed with gusto and sends him through the rotash. Cliff Lee spittin that hot fiyah.

Mischievous Matsui manages mischief, man.

This fucker again:



Utley drops another solo sling dropper in the 6th to push it to a deuce-zilch.

Phil Hughes bringing the bad news with back to back strolls in the 8th. Now, full loadage. Robertson the Rawbertson drops one to Ibanez and two squeak through, 4-0 in the zoo.

Cliff Lee is coming up like some kind of loose goose catching everything in his beak with the greatest of ease. He has been suave and sultry with a little swagger.

Carlos Ruiz gets the doubleday and Jimmy Rollins follows it up with a single in the 9th. Maholo Victorino gets one more through, 5-0. Rollins comes home to make it a six pack and Victorino goes Flyin Hawaiian right into where Posada's chin would be if he had one.

Bottom of the ninth, Jeter and Damon both get on. Potential double play, Rollins puts the ball in the dugout, 6-1. Juice Ape final showdown... triple k. That's kkk to you, Juice Ape. A-Rod neutered like a homeless cat. Cliff Lee takes the chinless wonder down for good measure. Two earned runs in 33 innings. Yipes.

Through the magic of the internet a lurker dude who is both grimy and retarded just sent me a pic he flicked of the Juice Ape hitting the showers after his devastating triple strikeout performance tonight.



So, Yankers in the hole by one game. Mighty fine. See you tomorrow.
