Thrilla! (Yanks 2, Orioles 1)

It was another great pitching (and defensive) performance . But as is the case in so many sports, the glory goes to Godzilla, whose walkoff blast and pie facial won the game in the 9th.

We may not see Hideki next year in a Yankee uniform. Today we saw him at his best when it mattered most, and I expect him to do that more often, the more important the games get.

So in the late innings of close games in big spots, look out. You never know when Godzilla's about to storm NY and start eating trains, as pictured above (or in Matsui's case, opposing bullpens).
