(right after Utley’s 2nd Bomb)

Fuck Chase Utley and fuck Game 1.  That’s what greatness allows you to do. The past can be left in the past, and we move on to fight another day. You know why Mariano Rivera is the greatest postseason closer of all time? Because when he takes the ball, he isn’t thinking about Luis Gonzales in 2001. Having a short memory is the greatest weapon when it comes to the postseason. If the Yanks escape with a split, they are back at 0 for a short 3 game set in Philly, and I still like those odds.  The Yankees have won 110 games at this point in 2009 – no need to jump off a bridge because Cliff Lee tossed a gem last night.  So step off the ledge Yankees fans and get back behind the most resilient team in baseball.
