Bobby hasn’t hit something this good since days gone by with his former fiance Alicia Machado. Alicia was Miss Venezuela in 1995 and a Playboy centerfold, but Abreu kicked her out of his park when he saw his woman having sex on a Mexican TV show. She was as gone as the ball he hit off Octavio Dotel with the bags juiced last night against the Sox.
Boone Logan, came on for Jose Contreras in the 7th, allowed an infield single to Johnny Damon with one out to fill the bases. Dotel got Derek Jeter on a swinging strike three, exhaled, and then Abreu stepped in. Octavio threw two balls outside the strike zone before grooving one that was sent screaming to the opposite field for a grand salami.
The shot sent the Good Guys to their knees changing a 3-2 lead to a 9-4 defeat. I might have written about a slam hit on the Northside of Chicago earlier in the day, but what does Ronny Cedeno’s girlfriend look like?
This was my first of seven straight games at the Cell. Gonna catch all the games with the Bronx Bombers and then with the Birds of Baltimore.
