Out here in the Lowlands we are way ahead of you. Well, in time of day at least.
Through the years fathers and sons have build memories together by getting up in the middle if the night to watch some epic showdown in the USA.
Ali vs Frazier. Or Foreman. USA hockey vs USSR at the Lake Placid Olympics. Stuff like that. You'd sit there in your Feyenoord-pyjama's (the kids, not the dads) shivering under a blanket and knowing your mom basically disagreed. Dads having drinks because, well they are dads and we having a Coke and trying not to fall asleep.

Tomorrow night is going to be the same albeit less Dutch rooms will be lit up by television screens because baseball is not that big.
But I'll be sitting in front of the set again. Alone. No dad or kids (the first a thing of nature, the latter a matter of choice) and enjoy a already epic game.

This one tonight was okay, but somehow it felt that we weren't really in it. It was exciting not thrilling.

I am sure I will never forget next one. Nor will any Yankees fan.

GIRARDI ALWAYS HAS TO MAKE HIS SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS, FELT.

THE SMART MOVE WAS TO LET GREEN GO A 4TH INNING ... WHY? BECAUSE HE WON'T PITCH AT ALL IN GAME 7 WHETHER HE PITCHES 3 OR 4 INNINGS TONIGHT.

INSTEAD, IN A GAME WE ARE TRAILING, ON THE ROAD, HE GOES TO ROBERTSON, WHO DOESN'T HAVE IT.

NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE KILLED 2 PITCHERS FOR TOMORROW INSTEAD OF 1.....HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT USING ROBERTSON TOMORROW AFTER THE PASTING HE TOOK TONIGHT?... YOU CAN'T.

CAN'T GIRARDI EVER BEND JUST A LITTLE?.... GREEN CAN ONLY GO 3 INNINGS, THE MOST!....4 INNINGS MAY KILL HIM!...MAYBE RUIN HIS CAREER!....CAN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT!

BOTTOM LINE?.... 3 GAMES IN HOUSTON AND WE SCORED 1, 1, AND 1 RUN.

WE MUST HIT TO WIN.

ANOTHER FEAR TOMORROW......

KEUCHEL.

HORRIFIED.

FRIENDLY ADVICE TO ALL CAPS: MOVE OUT OF YOUR OTHER'S BASEMENT AND GET A LIFE.

Peril, guidance and a cry for help.

When something ails me, like a twisted gonad, I turn to a doctor. Somehow I expect her to say sensible things, relieve my sufferings and gently massage it back in place.

When something frightens me, like an illegal alien that climbed the non-existing wall around my country, I turn to the authorities. Somehow I expect them to do sensible things, like using excessive and unnecessary force and violence and kick the alien back where she came from (without an abortion, obviously).

When it hurts in my Yankees, I turn to this blog. When I am perilled into uncertainty and need guidance, I turn for help to this organism of wisdom and lecturing.

Well, that is.........

First of all, where is Alphonso? When you need him most, he might well have fled the country (yours that is). Or is it like KD thinks, is he performing unspeakable and mysterious juju-rituals in a basement or a cellar, sealed-off from the inside? Whatever it is, he is not available for the guidance we need and this is troublesome. I don't like. It scares me.

And then there is El Duque. Or is he?
Sure, he publishes daily insights into the game and feeds us with new metrics (by the way, I did firp a few people yesterday - now I think it was bad juju to do that on innocent bystanders that have never heard of baseball, Yankees and the DidiMaster) but at the same time these articles could well have been written during long winter evenings between staggering outside to measure snow heights and keeping score. Maybe he has a stack of them prepared in a drawer and just inserts names and changes dates and that's it for the entire day at 7.30am.

The WinWarblist. Sure he turns out to be able to write sensible words after just warbling his way into these columns, but then he was stimulated to troll the Houston blog.
Is this juju-safe? Looking at the results, one has to wonder. How will the juju-Gods look upon people that mingle with the other side, albeit to troll? How would they react if I started trolling religious healing session with my twisted gonads? Because however you look at it, it is giving them legitimacy. And people that are suddenly legitimised might well feel empowered to prove their existence. Is that what happened last night? So the furry-faced gnome behind their plate is actually that kind man McCann - and he is alive.

It can't be right, but nobody there to right this vessel.

Who takes the helm and makes sure we do not get into the maelstrom (from the Dutch maalstroom by the way) that threatens on starboard but guides us to Venice Beach.
What should I be doing tonight to make it happen. And with me all the hardworking people.

That was just despicable. And now my liver is thumping like Studio 54.
