Man, let me tell y’all somethin’. The Islanders musta been tired of hearin’ about the Rangers bein’ the big bad champs, ‘cause Wednesday night at UBS Arena they came out like, “Nah, not today.”
Rangers put up 7 runs, which sounds good—until you realize Long Island was droppin’ bombs like it was the Fourth of July. Mike Bossy hit three home runs. Three! I don’t even hit the snooze button three times in one morning. And this man hittin’ ‘em like it’s tee-ball in the backyard. Rangers pitchers lookin’ like, “Coach, you sure we can’t walk him and just go home?”
And then you got Adrie Sijtsma out here actin’ like it’s his family reunion. Two homers, 4 RBI, just feastin’ on pitches. By the time he was done, I swear the Rangers bullpen was lookin’ like they were callin’ Uber rides to get back to Manhattan.
Meanwhile the Rangers lineup… they had some hits, sure. But it was like when you tell your kid to clean their room, and they just shove everything under the bed. Technically somethin’ happened, but the job didn’t get done.
Final score: 12–7 Islanders. And let me tell you, that crowd in Belmont? They were louder than my Auntie’s church choir on Easter Sunday. Series is 2–1 now, Rangers still lead, but the Islanders showed up like, “Don’t forget, we got a little history too.”
And Bossy? If he keeps hittin’ like that, Rangers pitchers might start usin’ the bullpen phone to call 911.
