Sox 6, Yankees 4: Live to Fight Today

·1 min

FINALLY. I’m screaming, I’m crying, I’m miserable as hell because I’ve been laid low by allergies and I’m the happiest man on this island. It’s true: the Yankees bullpen is really just Gordon and Rivera, and even they’ve been hittable this series. Leskanic is a folk hero, Foulke in the 7th now looks like a brilliant move, and David Ortiz’s ability to hit game-winning homers… CULT.

Edit: Mad props also dished out to - Derek Lowe, who may have rescued his career; Alan Embree, for going more than 1 inning; and Bill Mueller, whose ability to hit off Mariano is preternatural, and who made up for Game 1 today…

By the way, thanks to the Sox for waiting till lunchtime so I could come home and see the gamewinning hit. Next time, I don’t need the heart attack - just hit the Yankees early, and hit them often!
