Junichi Tazawa was the star in a victory that many of us did not see coming. The team from New York went 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position after hitting balls all over the park the night before. Meanwhile, the Red Sox scored 13 of their 14 runs with 2 out. Timely hitting, timely hitting and some more timely hitting.
I'm not too sure what today proved -- Did the Sox right the ship? Did the Yankees bubble burst? Was a new Japanese star pitcher born? -- but I do know the Red Sox moved a game closer to the playoffs.
Sunday night's game is going to be must see television. Set your dvr's to record True Blood and Entourage because this one has the makings of an instant classic. Beckett (has he ever been terrible in back to back starts?) versus CC (has he ever beaten the Sox at Fenway in a meaningful game?) pits horses against each other.
One quick note:
Though I only saw today's game up to the fifth inning, Tim MarCarver was actually pretty good. I'm sure the score had something to do with my evaluation but he actually made sense and earned brownie points by having Joe Morgan of Morgan's Magic in the booth.
