GO, GO, GODZILLA!

While the main star of last night's World Series Game Two was hands down the Yankee starter, A.J. Burnett, I'd like to throw some praise to one of the more unsung members of the team, Hideki Matusi. Last night he came through with a clutch go-ahead home run that was good enough to get the win. It lifted the Yankees back into this series a day after the team was demoralized and dominated by Cliff Lee.

It had been a day of doubt, a day where you had to wonder if the Yankees that steamrolled the Twins and soundly beat the Angels, had now been put to sleep early. Trusty Matsui made sure that wasn't to happen. The man once again became the giant firing breathing lizard, and made sure the Yankees were not going to Philly in a hole.

You almost forget that he's done this so many times in the past, as well. Sure, a lot of times he looks lost at the plate, but more often than not he's come through when we've needed it. Maybe his two years of DL stints have hurt him slightly in some fans eyes, or at least made them forget, but he's come back this year to be every bit the warrior he was prior to those arm and knee injuries. If this is his last year with the team, I would love to see him get an ovation at Yankee Stadium the way some of the other greats have had when we've guessed at their departure. A solid Matsui chant would surely move Japanese great. He maybe overlooked, but he's certainly deserving.

I bow to you, Godzilla. Hopefully the fans at the stadium will get a chance to do the same.
