I'm not sure Thursday night's victory overshadows a DL-injury to the fourth of our top six starters, but if I was given a pad and pen to script a Yankees-Red Sux game, it would go something like this...
Giambi homer. Sheffield homer. Alex "True Yankee Whom the Red Sux Tried to Get First" Rodriguez clutch homer off sports radio's Curt From Beantown. Mariano blows ... not the save, but ... everyone away.
My answering machine is on call to see if Joe Torre wants me to start Sunday evening's game.
And we held Ortiz to only one home run. That was solid.
And, in conclusion ... Curt Schilling would have to pitch 147 straight scoreless innings (18 runs in 18.2 innings) to match the 0.98 ERA of Mariano "Did Anyone Order the Casket?" Rivera (4 ER in 36.2 innings).
Hey, it's better than Keith Foulke. (208 innings at last count.)
It's too bad Rivera is all washed up. Last year, he would have struck out 4 batters in the 9th instead of only 3.
