Yeah Yeah Underdogs Unite Blah Blah.

Yesterday's game against the loutish Orioles was fresh. The Yankees won 4-1 and tres dreamy Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli is making himself more than useful while poor Georgie recuperates from an owie.

Had three hits a sacrifice bunt and pulled a Derek by bounding into the dugout to make a catch and almost falling headfirst before his teammates and coaches could steady him. This was by far the highlight of the game and the moment when they started showing Cervelli in all the highlight reels.
He just ran ran caught the ball and toppled ass over tea kettle into the dugout. And they replayed it over and over again.

Run, run, catch, ass up.

Run, run, catch, ass up.

Run, Run, catch, ass up.

You get the point, but I was simply mesmerized by watching this fine Italian ass just go run run catch & then up it goes. One of his teammates placed his hand on the precariously perched hiney in an effort to steady him before getting hold of his senses and removing it. I just thought "Oh sweetie, you've so waited 7 months for that moment and you ruined it. Just ruined it. Right in front of the camera too!"

Over and over in the replay his ass is going up over the railing and I'm sitting there open mouthed thinking how thoroughly fucking amazing this game is, but then I feel a little bit dirty and manipulated by MLB. I mean there's this, and the way they just let the camera linger on Chompers' booty sometimes is just galling! Galling!

Capped off the evening by narcing out to a documentary on alternate universes. Postulates the existence of 4 types of alternate universes. Those that occupy the same physical universe as our own given the assumption of infinite size, those that are self contained within branes within a higher dimensional "bulk", and then two others that must have been fascinating, but obviously not run, run, catch, ass up fascinating.

Happy Cinco De Mayo yo!
