I flipped on that game in the 8th inning.  I laughed out loud when the Sox tied it.  And was glad that a former Twin could deliver the winning blast!   ;)

Talk about the potential for a momentum swing.  I think the Yankees will eventually take it because 3-0 is a big hole to climb out of, but at least now there's a changce the Yanks will have to win game 6 to get it...

When you've got your foot on a team's throat, you don't let them off the ground.  The Yanks did that and now give Pedro another chance.  Too many mistakes last nite (walks, errors and men left in scoring position.)  Gotta rebound today and finish the Sox.

2-1 Sox in the 2nd.

Again, the former Twins help the Red Sox!  Kinda neat to see Douggie give Ortiz a big hug after that hit...

Two HUGE wins for the Sox, the momentum has swung, that's for sure...

Wonder how Schilling will look in Game 6?  :-\

What has to be of a bigger concern for the Yankees, the fact that they have lost 2 straight and allowed the Sox right back in it, or the fact that Rivera has blown 2 straight saves, and allowed the Sox back in it?

I tell you what, if he looks anything like he did in Game 1, Francona better have the balls to yank him quick.

If anything, I'm just glad the Sox put up a fight and this series isn't turning out to be the laugher everyone (including myself) thought it was going to be.

The Yankees handed those 2 games to the Sox.  Very disappointing.  Too many walks, mistakes in the field and the inability to get men home that were in scoring position in extra innings kept Boston hanging around and now it's a 3-2 series instead of over.

Im glad the umps got that call right with Arod swatting at the pitchers glove like a little wuss to knock the ball loose.

And about the Yankees fans throwing **** on the field after the correct call, very classy.

Can't these officials see A-Rod was clearly running? Jeeze.

Whoever called A-Rod a wussy is an idiot.  Who wouldn't have done that in that situation because who of us can honestly say they knew that rule?  In fact, the rule doesn't really apply to that directly.  At any rate, I knew they were going to call him out and return Jeter to 1st, which they did.

As for the umps, why pat them on the back?  They got the calls right which is their job! 

I said it in an earlier post.  The Yankees failure to execute in key situations has resulted, essentially, in a 1-game playoff.  The Sox have nothing to lose w/ all the momentum in the world.  I had a bad feeling it would go 7 because you can't give a guy like Schilling a chance to redeem himself after being embarassed because he's gonna come out guns blazin. 

Let's hope the ghosts (and the Yankees bats) show up tomorrow nite.
