The sound of a Mike Napoli HR scares the Yankees
Watch the Yankees response to Mike Napoli’s monster grand slam the other night: Kidding, this is actually from last night’s game when a thunderstorm rolled in and helped the Sox win a shortened 5+ inning game, 3-0. If you think I’m just picking on the Yankees, don’t worry, the Red Sox acted just as frightened [...]
Remy and Don are the anti-Jack Edwards
