Pick me out a winner, Bobby.... and more Lil' Shane


Brett Myers vs. CC Sabathia. Who knew?

The light-hitting Myers - and we do mean light-hitting - worked a foul count off Big C. He fouled off three pitches.

After the second foul ball, he trotted back to the dugout for a bat adjustment. The fans were on their feet,louder than they were when the team clinched the division title Saturday.

And then Brett pulled off the unthinkable.... he worked a walk, keeping the inning alive.

He awoke the crowd and clearly shaked Sabathia, who threw four straight balls to Rollins following the Myers walk.

And then... BOOM... Lil Shane still ain't scared. CC hanged one, Vic banged it for a grand slam. This place is just a bit loud right now, I'm having trouble hearing myself think.

Lil' Shane 2, CC 0.

But it started with arguably the worst hitter in the clubhouse.

Brett Myers has changed the momentum of the game. With his bat.

Who knew?
