HUMOR ALERT.
There’s no point in writing about the game, is there? Instead, let me bring you this classic hilarity from the geniuses at Fire Joe Morgan. A choice excerpt - which had me cracking up so loudly on the B61 bus that people actually edged away from me - follows. Today’s target: Wallace Matthews [Bronx cheer]
Here’s the meaty part:
This year, you [Reyes] are hitting only .280.
I’m excited to do this. Are you?
Jeter: .277.
You have drawn a mere four walks,
Jeter: 2 walks.
stolen only three bases in five tries,
Jeter: 0 steals.
scored only 12 runs.
Jeter: 7 runs (!)
Your OBP, .313,
Jeter: .309.
is worse than all but three other NL leadoff hitters.
-- but better than the living embodiment of heroism, Derek Jeter.
Read the rest of it - it will crack you up no matter what team you root for.

Who’s going to the game tomorow night? I wonder if the Mets will show up.
