Swish to the rescue (or can you say, "Deja vu all over again?")


Nick Swisher hit a walk-off home run (photo by Bill Kostroun) off -- I so love this term -- the Fighting Showalters (in reality the Baltimore Orioles' Koji Uehara) in the bottom of the ninth.

It was his second walk-off shot with the Yankees and it comes exactly one-year ago today when he stroked that leather against the T-Bay Devil Rays.

And that propelled New York to a 3-2 win to arrest a three-game slide. 

Time to get your acts together coz it's a long road trip for the men in pinstripes.

Said manager Joe Girardi after NY pitcher AJ Burnett gave Swish the now traditional cream pie in the face after a walk-off, "Was that cream pie fresh? We haven't done that in a while."

Two on the D-Rays. Let's roll.
