Good thing I had one 22 page document to draft today, straight through short break for lunch. Driving home it felt like mid-week halloween with the anticipation of big doin's tonight.
I will try to stay tube-bound. I have a bad habit of making myself busy elsewhere during big moments in sporting events, by the radio.
I fear Boston's pitching will throw me off. I hope Lowe, left, can pull it off but this is going to be a full bullpen event for both sides. Wakefield will cover two. Foulke one. Who else?
At 8:19 pm, half an hour, the world stops again for four hours. What I have to put up with in the meantime [144 KB .wav file]

12:10 am this morning, men in red hug again.

A grand slam in the second to make it 6-0 was a nice touch.

Now 8-1 going into the bottom of the fourth. Yankees pitching is nowhere. There is a lot of game left.

Pedro in the 7th. Not brilliant. Replaced Lowe after he had only 69 pitches:<blockquote class="smalltext">(8-1)-Double-double-(8-2)-out-single-(8-3)-(I am shaking my head literally)-steal-out-(95 mph fastball)-(Pedro has discovered heat with a 97 mph ball)-out-(fly to Nixon).</blockquote>Was that smart?

They're just trying to give you guys heart attacks.
Or it may be the baseball gods getting to work with what must be done. ;-)

Bellhorn's homer makes it better and quieter. I can get me nerves back now. We are in the eighth now.

They're trying to kill us all. I honest to God yelled at my TV when they brought in Pedro, and had they brought him in for the next inning - even after he found his "A" game - I'd have jumped on a plane to hunt Terry Francona down like a dog.
As it is, I'm having a drink and wondering how they will torture me over the next week.

Ummm...Roger Clemens perhaps? Game seven? Fenway?
