Joe Girardi's 9th inning stream of consciousness in the decision to pinch run Freddie Guzman for Arod


LA walking Arod? HA! tying run on first, HO!, numbers on Hideki v. Fuentes with one on and two outs? WARM UP ACEVES? Find numbers on Hideki v. Fuentes with one on and two outs! Inconclusive! FLASH: IDEA: YANKEE PINSTRIPE TOOTHPASTE. Hmm. Can run Arod, no, can't run Arod, run Gardner, NO! Gardner for Hideki if- WAIT! Calculate percentages of Hideki double! Point 85 divided by... carry naught.. INCONCLUSIVE! FLASH: IDEA: PHIL HUGHES SHOELACES TOO LONG! DAMAGE FOLLO-THROUGH? Guzman! if run Guzman, steal. REJECTED! Cannot steal. Take second on a WP. Guzman 0.04 seconds faster to second! if pinch run Guzman, Hairston play 3rd, righty-righty matchup, Mo pitch ninth, WARM UP ACEVES? Must position scorecard 0.39 inches higher in dugout for faster reference...
