2.5 games...
Wow... I'm watching the Red Sox come apart to the tune of 8-1 against Texas when suddenly, Mark Bellhorn rips a grand slam to left and then David Ortiz homers to right. Unreal. MLB Gameday says, a bit wanly, "coaching visit to mound". HAH.
I love the fact that the Yankees posted a historic train-wreck earlier this week. As I was saying to friends, there was much freude in my schadenfreude. It's tough, of course, living in Boston. The curse of the bambino, it has been said, was broken on the exact same day when a 16-year old kid from Sudbury, Massachusetts 'caught' a line-drive foul ball in his mouth. Well, not exactly. Two of his teeth went flying and blood started to pool on the cement beneath his seat. Now, I don't normally applaud the physical abuse of teenagers, but this kid lived in the same farm that Babe Ruth used to own. So given both his address and bodily injury, in conjunction with a historic blowout by a certain team in the Bronx might actually have put the curse to bed.
Of course, I doubt it. But one never knows. And it's still a 2-run game in Fenway, with the Yankees having lost. The six games where the two face-off later this month will most certainly be interesting. I just hope that no one does something stupid like getting into a fight or punching a wall and breaking his hand. :P
