A good old-fashioned pitchers’ duel, and it was a pity to see Wakefield lose despite perhaps the best-pitched game by a Sox starter this season, no thanks to Giambi’s short-porch pop-fly homer. But from a pure baseball fan’s point of view, I love pitching duels. I just hope it isn’t a sign that Randy Johnson is learning how to be good again.
And since this was the Sep 11 game - here’s a link to my post in memoriam. While I can’t stand the Yankees, I do heart New York.
