In the bottom of the ninth last night, Mariano Rivera caught Jacoby Elsbury looking at strike three for the second out of the inning. Instead of busting the lefty in on the hands as he usually does, Mo dropped his cutter over the outside corner for the final strike.
In the YES booth, a discussion ensued about Mo's use of the backdoor cutter. Ken Singleton dropped this gem on us:
"When he decides to go back door they just stand there and take it"
Whoa, easy there Kenny. He must have spent the Monday off day watching the complete series of Oz on DVD.
I don't think Singleton's line last night tops Michael Kay's "He dropped a deuce on him" from last year, but it's the early leader for best line of 2010.
Clearly, Kay and Kenny have a knack for double entendre, intentional or accidental.
