Sox 5
Yankees 2
They needed that. Good confidence-building. Grab that first win in Yankee Stadium and do it with Wakefield, not Martinez. Wakefield either has a very good night, or a very bad night, and tonight he had a very good night. The knuckleball was dancing away. The bullpen has begun pulling its weight as well which is a great sign.
David Ortiz may have the largest head ever seen on a human being. It was great to see him finally pull out of his hitting funk with an absolute monster, no-doubt homer. I love it when they beat Mussina, who certainly had an off night.
The Sox defense was solid and good to watch. Doug Mirabelli did a stellar job catching Wakefield, and had a hit. He's my man, and deserves more playing time, as does Gabe "Super-Jew" Kapler. Thank you.
Todd Walker's shot off the foul pole (or off the dope-hand) was a homer all the way. Yankees fans need to learn to keep their cotton-pickin' hands OUT of the field of play.
Bret Boone of the Seattle Mariners was the extra guy in the booth for FOX. He didn't add too much. Speak up more boy! We want to hear your "active player" insights. If you think someone's a chump, say they're a chump. If you liked something, tell us. Advice to FOX: If you're going to use these players for for interesting commentary during the game, keep some booze in the booth and let them have a few pops. That'll keep things loose!
Now do it again!
