...than the "Other Guy" number, that's called a "Win."
Listen to me-two straight losses after 12 in a row, and suddenly I'm Mr. Sarcastic.
While the Garnettless Celtics are fighting for their playoff lives in Boston, playing Game Seven against the Bulls, the Red Sox are in Tampa, Tim Wakefield salvaging the series against the immortal Jeff Niemann.
After Boston reached Niemann for six early tallies, the feisty defending AL Champion Rays came right back with RBI hits from the Desperate Third Baseman and Pat the Bat to close the gap to 6-5. But Our Man Youk was there when we needed him, doubling in two runs and drawing a walk to force in another one, helping give Boston a 10-5 lead. The Okey Doke, New Guy RR, and Sensei Saito closed things up, a meaningless 9th inning run making the final 10-6.
Boston faces these pesky Fish again tomorrow afternoon, Brad "My ERA is larger than my hat size" Penny against Big Game James Shields.
In the basketball world, the Celtics, after going through a deeply memorable series with several multiple overtime games, look to have finally put the Bulls away, leading by seven inside of one minute to play. Boston, assuming they hang on, will face the Orlando Magic in the second round.
Whahoo! Happy dance time.
ReplyDeleteI did get to catch a bit of the Celtics and Bulls. Cool beans.
