Rally Magic

After coming home from another little league victory, I noticed that the Yankees were trailing the Mets 4-0 going into the ninth, I accepted defeat and went to my bedroom to watch "Coming to America" starring Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. After the movie I went online to blog the loss and when the baseball scores loaded, I noticed that the Yankees pulled off a ninth inning rally off perennial closer Billy Wagner.
Mike Mussina started the game and gave up two runs in the first and allowed only one hit after that, a solo shot to Cliff Floyd.
Pedro Martinez faced the Yankees and with a long history between the Yankees and his Red Sox career, it proved to be a great game, and it was, for Pedro. He allowed two hits on seven strike outs in six innings.
On to the ninth.
With closer Billy Wagner on the mound, Jason Giambi reached base with a hit followed up by an Alex Rodriguez walk, and Robinson Cano singled in Giambi.
Miguel Cairo flied out for the first out, but worked a 12-pitch walk to Melky Cabrera and allowed another walk to Kelly Stinnett forcing home A-Rod and cut the lead to two.
Wagner then hit pinch-hitter Bernie Williams in the thigh with the first pitch, bringing Cano home to slice the Mets' lead to one run.
Wagner was replaced by Pedro Feliciano and quickly ended the inning.
In the 11th inning, Miguel Cairo led off with a walk and promptly stole second and third and scored the winning run thanks to the Andy Phillips game-winning hit.

Final Score:
Yankees 5, Mets 4

I have, and always will be, a true Yankees fan. Don't give me that bandwagon crap; bandwagon fans are for people who need to belong.
