Winning in the playoffs is fun
Mark Teixeira hit a walk-off laser beam home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 and put the Yankees up 2-0 in the ALDS. After an action packed game with each team having chances (and failing) to score multiple times, it felt like the game should have been over a few times. Mark Teixeira had the final decision, and he decided to end the game in the 11th. Alex Rodriguez can not go unmentioned because he hit an absolutely mammoth 2 run shot to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th. It was nice to see the Yanks’ 3 and 4 hitters get their “Yankee Moments” out of the way in the same game. Of course, Tex being responsible for the walk-off he was the recipient of the Yankees first playoff pie. I questioned whether there would be playoff pie, but was quickly reminded that Pie Man shows no mercy. Playoff pie is here, Yankee fans; and it’s here to stay. Check out some awesome pics after the jump.
