Baseball is such a stupid magical game. One moment, you’re grumbling to the cat about how the bullpen is driving you up a wall and that the Yankees are inexplicably about to lose their third game out of the four to the likes of the Brewers and Pirates. Then, in the span of just over 10 minutes, you’re screaming like Lucille Bluth seeing Gene Parmesan.
What caused this fit of madness? The Yankees were trailing the Pirates, 8-4, in the bottom of the ninth when Aaron Judge led off with his 60th homer of the season.
