Nick Swisher: Bugs Bunny in our midst?

I'm reminded of Bugs Bunny's showdown with the Gashouse Gorillas: Now pitching, Bugs Bunny, now catching, Bugs Bunny, now playing first base, Bugs Bunny, second base Bugs Bunny, shortstop Bugs Bunny, third base, Bugs Bunny, left field Bugs Bunny, center field Bugs Bunny, right field Bugs Bunny.

Except replace Bugs Bunny with Nick Swisher.

And then shoot me. Please. Swisher is no Wade Boggs, or even a Mike Aldrete. And yet, as Michael Kay just said (because for better or for worse, he and I have a tendency to think the same thing at the same time) Swisher pitched the best inning of the ball game for the Yankees tonight. Just keep telling yourself: it's just one out of 162.
