i knew the yanks wouldn't score
because a-rod got a hit that inning.

a-rod sucks, two hits when the yanks are down by five runs.  jeter is conserving his hits for more important games and more clutch situations...

Great stories tonight.
KenKo and Vince had lunch at a deli today, a #29 sandwich: turkey, chopped liver, and cheddar on rye.

Then they started talking about having Ray in the booth tomorrow. Vince said it was going to be a tight fit.

That brought up the 16-inning game. Ray, Ken, and Bill were squished together for six hours. They then took Ken Pries out for "dinner" at, like, 3:30 in the morning. Ken Pries had the world's largest sandwich. "The Mile High." He was ill for two days after that
