Last night was my idea of a perfect game. Not an actual perfect game or a no hitter or anything above and beyond the normal (though I’ve seen those too), but a game that I wish every game could be.
In the Bronx, versus the Red Sox, Andy Pettitte starting. It’s August, the Yankees are in a playoff chase. It winds up being a close game, Andy pitches 7 great innings and Mo closes it out with a 1-2-3 9th. Some kid named Joba also pitched a good inning.
Tonight I would be surprised if the Yankees even put up a run, but I’ll just watch the replay from yesterday’s game and go back to pretending baseball doesn’t exist (until Friday).
