| I do miss the yellow glove (that looked like bananas) |
Of Yusei Kikuchi's seven strikeouts Friday (each of which made the Yankees home opener appreciably [one might say deliciously] worse for them), my favourite was for sure the one that ended the fifth, as it was immediately followed by Inspectah Deck's opening verse from "Triumph" as the Sportsnet broadcast faded to commercials (they run ads for awfully scary movies on some of these afternoon games, which is inconsiderate, as I frighten easily). This seemed to me fitting, in that it was indeed a triumph! And also because of how neither Socrates' philosophies nor hypotheses could define the extent to which Yusei Kikuchi was dropping these mockeries, maybe! Aside from the stellar pitching (Yimi, the enigmatic Genesis Cabrera, Trevor Richards, and Chad Green took it the rest of the way), and Ernie Clement's extremely welcome solo home run in the seventh, this one was kind of a gift, as Yankees reliever Nick Burdi hucked no fewer than three wild pitches whilst walking two in his two-thirds-of-an-inning of work, which pretty much sealed the deal . . . to our advantage.
