Memory lane

So I'm talking to my friend, who is going to Yankee Stadium to watch the Yanks play her beloved Twins tomorrow. The series so far has been decided three times by walk-offs: Melky Cabrera's single on Friday, an A-Rod homer in the 11th yesterday, and a Johnny Damon dinger this afternoon. So of course tomorrow's game will go extras.

Which reminded me of a game I went to a few years back, a 16-inning loss to the A's. What a game. On the one hand, Jeff Weaver pitched one of the best games he would ever throw as a Yankee. On the other, there were 5 errors! And I happened to be sitting behind the only Oakland fans in the whole game stadium. And then I was stuck in the South Bronx after a six-hour ballgame. But still, great game!
