It’s like going back in time and going through puberty again..
A-Rod is the gift that keeps on giving.
And, to paraphrase the great Morgan Freeman at the end of Shawshank Redemption, I hope that last night’s Pedro performance, even though he didn’t beat the Yanks, puts some fear back in the hearts of New York fans. I hope Pedro has a chance to face them again. I hope that the next game he pitches will be the Phillies’ 2009 World Series clincher. I hope he’s on the mound when the Yanks’ 2009 title aspirations get flushed out to sea. I hope he gets carried off the mound by his teammates after striking out A-Rod to end the series. I hope, at that precise moment, every member of the Yankees organization is brought up on steroids charges. I hope that NY fans spend the night burning their livers with whiskey while Pedro is crowned mayor of Philly. I hope Rodan picks up the new Yankee Stadium with his massive claws and carries it out to sea, tossing it into the tide like an empty soda can.
I hope. I hope.
Something special happened that day.
Preach on brother.
