It aint over till Youk Gets a HIT.


Rain Delay once again in Boston....waiting...waiting....finally. Lester takes the mound. Lester's looked awesome through the 7th although 2 runs came for the Cards in the top of the 7th. Youk got us a solo homerun and brought me some stats for my fantasy team who is in last place. Lester returned for the 8th and after a runner got on base, MDC relieved him. MDC did his thang and KO'd Glaus and Stavinoha. Ankiel really messed up a play allowing Coco's drive to center get him a triple. Lugo brought Coco in to home to tie the game with a SF. The Card's reliever Perez apparently had trouble finding the strike zone and with 3 walks in a row...the Sox went ahead 3-2. Top of the 9th with Papelbon pitching and one strike away from getting this game over with....Papelbon allowed a hit allowing the tying run to the plate. SO on to Extra Innings....


Through the 10th, 11th and 12th....men left on bases by both teams...then the 13th...

Kennedy hit a single with Duncan on base....Duncan comes running into home...and What a nailed in throw from J.D. to Tek to get Duncan out at home. Tek lowering his shoulders and BAM...he's out....as I was chatting with my buddies on SG, I posted that someone had better get a homer NOW that Tek saved this run.


Mikey Two Bags hits a single and Youk's steps up to the plate....Now Youk's had struck out twice, walked and hit a homerun already at his at-bats....but he hits the ball so hard and it flys into the Monster...BOOOOOOOYAH. 5-3 WalkOFF and it's FINALLY DONE.


The Sox win...and I can get some work done around this house.

Whatever works, Tex.

Just know you've gotta do the same thing every game now. ;)

Tex said...

Tex, I spent the entire 2004 post season hunched over like a gargoyle on the edge of a chair.

You get to drink Tito's and OJ for the next few months.

Advantage?

Tex. ;)
