I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

I hate the Yankees as much as any decent person, but whoever decided to schedule them to be away on the 75th anniversary of Lou Gherig's speech is a bad person who should feel bad
