How fitting that such a nutty game features an even nuttier postscript.
Amidst what is already a nutty Yankees season.
Friday night featured more than five hours of baseball leading to a 14-inning, 7-3 loss at the hands of the Orioles, with New Yorker Pedro Alvarez delivering the game-winning grand slam off Jonathan Holder. The Yankees, saddled once again with high expectations after last year’s surprise surge, are now 4-4.
Such is the nature of this odd first week and a half, however, that fans had to feel a touch of relief, if not yet a full exhale, as the many early pinstriped departures all appeared to be manageable.
