4/7/07 Baltimore 7 Yankees 10 (2-2)

In terms of actual baseball, this has to be the 2nd greatest regular season game I've ever been to. Subjectively, it's EXACTLY how I would want a game to end. And there were nice little moments getting to that end as well (Damon pinch hitting, Giambi's homer, and Mo coming in). Torre gets a win here, as his only mistake was using the LOOGY Myers for a full inning. However, you can't even blame him on that one because he was attempting to save the overused bulpen. Extra credit for bringing Mo in in a non save situation. Gutsy move that paid off. Since I'm being generous, I'll also mention that he used Posada at C despite it being a day game after a night game. I guess he thought the lineup was looking a little weak without Damon in there.
