Well that was a fun game to watch in the late innings tonight. Of course, I don’t like the Red Sox, so the fact that the Yankees made it four in a row helps.
But watching Papelbon’s strikeouts and Rivera’s mastery was fun. Yes, Papelbon blew the save, but still: 5 strikeouts in two innings is exciting despite the one run.
As was telling my brother about HOW Giambi drove in the game winner: “Mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho!” Yes, just put me on Sportscenter now.
