This was a fantastic read

I like Fuld even more for this, and I was already a huge fan

Nobody reads (or promotes) fanshots, why not just get rid of that section and include something more useful on that sidebar?

I got away from the one thing that kept me on the straight and narrow, and that was my relationship with the Lord

I was going to promote his FanShot.

But the “Update date and time” option is broken right now, so it was buried about 3 stories down on the front page. Sorry Dan, nothing personal.

I love Casey Fossum. Now try and take me seriously.

Tremendous. My type of story.

The game itself was a microcosm of the whole season. The Yankees’ one-run first inning was like opening day for us, when everyone was writing off us and our $42 million payroll. The second inning with Teixeira’s grand slam was like the first week of the season, when we were swept at home twice, and lost Manny Ramirez for the season and Longoria for a month. The Yankees’ 7-0 lead heading into the eighth was our nine-game deficit in early September. Whether you put it into numbers or you just felt it, the odds against us were mind-boggling.
