Bottom of the 7th

Byung-Hyun Kim is the new Pirate pitcher, and you can hear the Yankee fans thinking.

Yep - this is the same Byung-Hyun Kim who, while with the Arizona Diamondbacks, coughed up consecutive two-run leads to the Yankees in Games 4 and 5 of the 2001 World Series.

(The D-Backs came back to win the series when Mariano Rivera coughed up a lead of his own in Game 7).

Some things never change - Cody Ransom, the first batter Kim faces today, hits a game-tying home run to left center. And after Justin Christian singles, Robinson Cano belts a home run to right field.


"I've seen this!" bellows a Yankee beat writer. "I've seen this!"

We're done with seven, and the Yankees lead 3-1.
