joba's streak of hitless innings ended, but he still got the win against the red sox tonight. i watched the whole game on tv, and was so engrossed i didn't even check out the emmys on the other channel. first of all a duel between two aging greats - clemens and schilling. they score an unearned run when damon drops a fly ball in front of his former fans. later, out of nowhere, robbie cano hits one over the green monster. the game continues tied as the pitchers throw everything they've got. then, as all yankee fans can almost predict, our captain stood up at the plate and bangs a three-run shot almost out of the park. joba allows a home run in his two innings, and then the sandman enters. rivera has more blown saves against the red sox than any other team. he walks a couple of guys, and hits another. two outs, bases loaded, and big papi up to bat. big papi, who has already hit one walk-off shot this week. and mo pitches to him, and again, and finally jams him into hitting a fly ball for which jeter waves everyone off so he will make the final out. yankees win. whew!
again, the joy of such a moment :-) priceless!
