Awesome Possum.

What a game. I will admit to complaining about this game as early as last summer when the schedule first came out; starting against the Yankees seemed unnecessary and like overkill but that was fun.

It didn't start out that way but it was good enough. The pitching was not fabulous and there weren't many runs prevented. But the defense wasn't bad and they mustered enough hits to survive the night.

And there was Petey. You can't go wrong with Petey.
