The Game

Baseball is an easy game when you’ve won four in a row.

“We‘re playing well,” Joe Girardi said after the Yankees extra-inning win on Wednesday. “We just have to keep scoring one more run than the other team.”

It’s a disappointing game when that streak comes to an end.

“That’s baseball,” Girardi said with a shrug after Thursday’s loss in Pittsburgh. “Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other pitcher.”

It’s a frustrating game when you run into the best pitcher on the planet.

“Roy Halladay didn‘t give us much of a chance,” Girardi explained after last night’s loss in Toronto. “His performance was the whole game.”
