Yankees lose, perhaps there is a God after all..... But as baseball aficionados know, all you have to do to beat the Yankees is throw fastballs high and inside, something that is easy to say when you have three guys who can throw the ball more than 100 mph. If you've never played baseball, you don't know the fear of hearing something hiss by your head and not see anything at all. It's the hissing noise that scares the shit out of you. That and the sound like a cannon shot when the ball hits the catcher's mitt. You just don't want to be up there, and even the great players acknowledge it. To make matters even worse if that is possible, all good fast ball pitchers launch a ball that changes trajectory on the way to the plate, meaning it moves up, down, and sideways making these missiles actual weapons. Trust me, it's a terrifying experience.
