Houston 8, NY Yankees 0: Six Astros pitchers combine to handcuff Yankees
The Yankees were no-hit last night, and every fan in the country wanted to leap into Houston closer Billy Wagner's arms.
Has any sporting event ever brought so much joy to so many people in so many places? The Miracle at Lake Placid? Mark McGwire's record-breaking home run? Brandi Chastain ripping off her shirt? No. None are even close. The only outcome that might have provided a comparable amount of joy was Jimmy Chitwood sinking the Indiana state title-winning shot in "Hoosiers.''
But even Chitwood's shot falls short of the Yankees getting no-hit. The only way people would take more pleasure from this is if it also somehow involved additional charges against Martha Stewart....
The Yankees were no-hit. And everyone in baseball is so excited that Rafael Palmeiro can cancel his Viagra prescription for the month.
Baseball history at the expense of George Steinbrenner's Yankees. Does it get any better??
