…and the Yanks go down. Of course, I’m talking about Alex “E-Rod” Rodriguez, who comes into Boston and a 3-game series with the Sox carrying the most smokin’ bat in all of baseball. Of course, world championships are not won in April, but October, and anyone can hit a two-run homer when your team is already up by four or five runs. So let’s see how the whining pussy-boy does when all the chips are on the table.

Thankfully, the Sox pulled out the first of a three-game series in dramatic fashion! Onward Varitek and Crisp! Send that overmatched rookie Pedroia back to Pawtucket! And who needs a Papelbon as a closer when we’ve got Okajima!

But seriously, folks, it was a joy to sit in a crowded restaurant tonight and watch the Sox stage an incredible comeback against the Yankees and Mariano “Fruit Bat” Rivera. We couldn’t help but stare at all the people in the bar looking as if they had sucked on lemons – there were that many obvious Yankee fans surrounding us. Yuck! And I hate the Yankees – almost as much as Alec Baldwin hates Kim Basinger.

(BTW, is that guy a loser or what?)

But too bad, the good guys took the first one tonight and Red Sox Nation goes to bed exhilarated at yet another amazing comeback against the Evil Empire. Couldn’t have happened to a better team…

Now if someone could get a hold of Mr. Baldwin and give him a good whuppin’!
