Who's Your Relief Pitcher?
Pedro Martinez, out after just 77 pitches, for the overworked Chad Durbin in the fifth? Two hits, a walk, and a run later, exit Durban, enter the ubderappreciated J.A. Happ. Not Shown In Your Picture: Andy Pettitte, after some close pitches and two walks in the fourth, animatedly discussing it with home plate umpire Joe West as the teams changed sides. Joe Girardi came out to protect him, but whatever he said, Pettitte left West laughing.
You just have to love technology... hit "submit" once, and get three entries... but I'm guessing you're blogging on your iPhone from the game. :) Glad you're out having fun!
Enjoy the game a little extra for those of us at home, would you?

A PRINCE HAMLET OF THE MOUND?
My cut-and-paste work on “Hamlet’s Soliloquy” will, I hope, lead others to take a fresh look at Yankee pitcher Andy Pettitte’s riveting camera close-ups during the series. His made-for-Shakespeare profile! That “broody” expression which every actor who’s played the melancholy Dane has aspired to! So . . . Prince of Pitchers, meet the Prince of Denmark:
To throw and how to throw: that is the question
To take arms against a sea of red
And by opposing rend them?
‘Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished
Soft, you now ! the catcher signals enterprises
Of great pitch and moment.
