Taught night school this evening (police, composition) and so missed the first five innings.
This was one that brought out one of the essential truisms of baseball: that a seizable moment comes two or three times in a game, if at all.
Bottom of the seventh, 2-1 Braves. Damon up, two out, first and second. Damon takes strike three looking. I don't know the last time Dmon took strike three. When he was beating the Yankees' brains out he never took strike three.
All right. 2-1, eighth inning. Jeter, Giambi, A-Rod, Posada due up in the bottom of the inning. So: hold them, dummies. Kardiac Kyle brought in for just that reason.
And, and? Two outs, runner on second, Francouer bloop single makes it 3-1. Never mind what happened after. The game ended there.
