But that's OK 'cause the Sox pulled it off again last night even though that Bobble-head Jeter got away with murder three times. I guess with all the money Steinbrenner pays him, he can throw some cash in the 2nd base umps pocket when he needs a little help.
Some stats about the game:
1) Last night's game went 5 hrs and 43 minutes. Longest game in post-season play.
2) Second longest game per innings (longest inning game was '86 NY vs Houston at 16 innings).
3) Sox and Yanks played 26 consecutive inning the past two games.
4) Wakefield has a magic knuckleball.
5) Rain is predicted tonight in NY. I'm betting both teams have pulled their cash and hired a pro rain dancer so they can get some shut-eye.
Great game! Go Sox!! Now if they can just hold on two games in the Big Apple.
BTW - Check out Ron Corddry on the Daily Show (episode from 19 Oct). He did a great story on the "Curse of the Babino". According to some die-hard Sox fans, ever since the Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees in the early 1900's, they have never won another World Series. Leave it to Corddry to spin it into something hilarious.
