Molly took me to the ballgame yesterday. It was a very hot Sunday afternoon, and we had excellent seats, in the shade the whole game. The Yanks played well, with Hiroki Kuroda pitching seven scoreless innings. We did not hit much, but we did manage to nudge across one little run. As the game went on, we thought that might be enough, especially with Mariano Rivera coming in. But shockingly, the Great Rivera gave up a two-run homer to Adam Jones, and that was all she wrote. Alas, a grunbly end to an almost perfect afternoon.
