(Squawker note -Reader mhochman pointed out that Talk Like a Pirate Day is tomorrow, not today. I was so excited about being a pirate, I forgot how to use a calendar!)
At any rate, I'm still excited over Francisco Cervelli's walkoff hit Wednesday. It was really a cool moment.
I was telling Squawker Jon how confident I was that the Yankees would win - instead of worrying that the Jays would somehow pull out a victory in the ninth, I was wondering which Yankee would be the hero. Would Derek Jeter or Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira get their first walkoff hit of the year? Or would it be Brett Gardner or Francisco Cervelli?
Meanwhile, Squawker Jon was watching the Mets be on the other end of a walkoff win. How sad!
In other news, LoHud's Peter Abraham is moving to the Boston Globe to write about the Red Sox there. He will leave a very big void in baseball beat writers blogs.
On a completely different subject, I wrote about the Philly father and daughter foul ball moment for The Faster Times. I thought it was a really sweet clip.

Pete Abraham does leave a very big void indeed ... huge, obese I might add.

If you're going to "talk like a Pirate," let it be a Pirate from the days when they were a respected and feared baseball aggregation.
