Jacoby (Straight) Steals Home.... Are You Kidding Me?
BUMPED back to the top, because this is so cool. I swear I've watched the video 30 times already.
UPDATE, 4:10 pm: YouTube video now working again...
This is too good not to bring up.

AMAZING...it was the "Jacoby Show" last night
I was watching this game last night and went crazy when he stole home – I’m sure my neighbors think I’m some kind of nut case, (partially true).
Vaya Castores!
This eased the severe sting of last night's Blazer choke job... barely.
Actually, not at all. It was nice to see though. The kid is tearing it up. He owns that town.
"The brownies,'' Fernandez said after the game. "The brownies are good for me to make three-points.''

The shitty part about it
Is he stumbled a bit as he was making the slide. It knocked the coolness factor down only a half-point from the French judge.
Still…Huevos Grandes! A great play, any way you slice it. I am shocked how easy he made it look.
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
Nah, stealing home is stealing home. You can do it in an ugly christmas sweater and it’s still bad ass.

Can’t you picture it?! Still cool, isn’t it…

Pettite and Posada
Pettite clearly had no idea of what was happening until after he had thrown the pitch. It is not clear to me that Posada realized there was a steal happening until Ellsbury was sliding into home.
Very cool.
I wonder if the batter realized what was happening before Ellsbury arrived at the plate.
He must have, because some sort of sign must have been on
Because if the batter swings in that situation, it’s bad news.

Freakin' crazy...
Posada looked like he sat there for a second, thinking, “What the hell just happened?” :)
