The first team to ever hit three Grand Slams. Why am I even posting this?

[El Supremo]

NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Yankees became the first team in major league history to hit three grand slams in a game, with Robinson Cano(notes), Russell Martin(notes) and Curtis Granderson(notes) connecting Thursday in a wet, wild 22-9 romp over the Oakland Athletics.

In nearly a century of storied slugging, the Bronx Bombers never enjoyed a day like this.

On a dreary afternoon, some fans headed home with the Yankees trailing 7-1 after three innings and rain still falling in a game that began after an 89-minute delay.

Turns out they missed the Yankees coming home—over and over and over.

1. No idea, but Gonzalez hit three taters on three straight pitches.

So, we got that going for us. And a one game lead.;)

5. Who woulda thought? Satan owned Oakland prior to this series, and Texas

owned America's team prior to this series...I really was hoping that the Red Sox could just not fall too far back and get through this week ok...they ended up doing much better than ok.

6. Still up one.

Two in the W column is even better. Now if they can just get past the Wakefield problem...:crazy:

10. Now up by 2...I think 4 more wins...because Satan was rained out completely...

Get Tim his damn 200 so we don't have to worry about that anymore!!!

2. Amazing!

It's amazing that it even happened once in baseball history.

3. Yeah yeah - impressive, I suppose.

But Fernando Tatis (one of my favorite former Mets) still has the distinction of hitting TWO grand slams in the same inning, when he was with the Cardinals I think it was, against the Dodgers & Chan-Ho Park.

4. What is amusing is that Oakland was up 7-1 in the fourth...

I guess their pitching really is that bad.

7. Because you're going to be a Yankees fan very soon?
