Reporter: "Jerry, did you consider hitting for R.A. in the eighth with runners on first and third and two outs and a three-run lead?"
JerMan: "Uh, I considered it before I un-considered it, you know what I'm sayin'? It would have been nice to get that other runner in from third, but with our pen as overworked as it is, and the fact that R.A. was cruisin', had only thrown 115 pitches--which for a knuckleballer is nothing--and had actually probably gotten more big hits for us this year than the pinch-hitters we had available, I thought that the prudent thing would be to keep him in the game and see if he could give us nine ... which we did, and were able to give Pedro and Frankie a day off, which was a good positive result for our ball club."
Wherever that alternate universe is, I want to go to there.
