Why Thanks, Yanks!

After winning the first 7 games of the season series to begin the 2009 season against their hated rival, the Red Sox went into last nights game on the verge of sweeping the first 3 series against the New York Yankees. Brad Penny and C.C. Sabathia pitched marvelously for six innings, and it wasn't until Delcarmen came in for the 7th inning that the Yankees were able to get on the board, as they got to him right away when Melky Cabrera singled, stole second, and scored on a Cervelli double. The game was only tied at that point, so the Yankees desperately needed to capatalize on base-runners, and that's exactly what Alex Rodriguez did when he blasted a double into left to bring in two runs.

 

It almost looked like the Yankees were going to pull out of this close game with an emotional win, on the back of their two big dolla boys, A-Rod and C.C., who together make close to one half of a billion dollars. However, as the iconic Yankee Legend Yogi Bera would like to remind us, "It ain't over till it's over." And that is why we watch sports, and love competition, because anything can happen. The "million to one" underdog can actually take down the "sure favorite"... Teams can come back from "impossible" odds, and snatch victory from the face of defeat... David can really beat Goliath.

 

Although last night's two run deficit going into the bottom of the eighth last night was certainly not intimidating the Red Sox hitters, because they have proven they can score lots of runs in any given inning against any given pitcher, I myself, probably like many other Sox fans, knew it was going to be tough to get atleast 2 runs with only 6 outs to spare. But I have been a Red Sox fan for 26 years, my entire life, so I always believe they can come back against any odds and win, and I'm behind them until the last out. Too bad the fans who bailed after the 7th inning rally by the Bombers wern't the same way... otherwise they could have been still sitting in their seats when the Sox came back to take the lead, and hand the ball over for Paplebon to 1-2-3 them home.

 

The Yankees went into the top of the 8th inning having a 3-1 lead late in the game, and beginning to feel the relief and satisfaction of finaly beating the Red Sox this season... going into the top of the 9th, they were down 4-3, and realizing you might have blown this game, and lost an eighth straight. They did lose an eighth straight to Boston, and while the Major League Baseball Season is not decided in eight games, or even you're success against one certain team... the Yankees have felt the storm of the Red Sox, and right now they're not sure if they can weather it.

There really is a Bunganut lake/camping in Maine. I never knew that before. I feel enlightened.

:thumbsup:Thank you for the comments, and I certainly wrote the post myself, as I'm sure there are plenty of errors knowing my grammer and spelling skills =] "ms_sox".... I'm glad I put Bunganut Lake of Lyman, Maine on you're map =] It's one of the cleanest lakes in Maine, and Maine has a lot of clean lakes to choose from. Anyways, it's good to be a part of "Talksox.com". I finaly have a sufficient outlet for my thoughts, complaints, and praised about our beloved Red Sox Nation! Look for my post about the loss today, and why Julio Lugo is still on the team.

 

Go Sox.....
