Oh man. There are not too many ways last night could have gone any better. Beckett was solid, Randy Johnson SUCKED. The Yankees defense bumble-fucked around for a slew of errors and unearned runs. The seemingly steady Bernie Williams tossed his helmet at the home plate ump in frustration, probably more from the game as a whole than the specific call. Johnson got booed by 54,000 of his own fans. Damon is still hitless. A-Rod’s O-fer brought him to a .259 average. And then there’s this. It just doesn’t get much better than last night.
I know that the proper thing to do is remind ourselves that its only May and that we still have 17 more games against the Yankees who undoubtedly have the scariest lineup in baseball. But I don’t care. This is too good. Say what you want about this Sox club so far this season, but one thing you must admire is the fact they have played their best baseball against the Yankees. And what Sox fan doesn’t love that?
Sixteen hits. Fourteen runs with thirteen men left on base. God the Yankees are lucky last night wasn’t more embarrassing than it was. If tonight’s results are any similar to last nights, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yanks throw at Ortiz, just out of frustration. I would say a nice plunking of A-Rod would be good retaliation but, as you know, we don’t throw at .260 hitters.
The good and bad thing about baseball is that the next day it’s a whole new ballgame. I just wish they all went like last night.
