Glad to salvage one from this series, especially against Rivera again. What have the Sox figured out that the rest of the league hasn't?

Stoppers usually only have a prime 6-7 year shelf life, at best.
I'm starting to wonder if Rivera has maybe gone past his expiry date.
Of course, if our $100 million third baseman could field a ground ball...........
That one opened the doors. Rivera mighta been out of the inning if he just goes home for the easy out with that one instead of booting the damn thing. That woulda been 2 out, and Ortiz' l'il grounder to first is then out # 3. Final---> 3-2 Yanks and I get to post first.

The Phone Call
A one act play.
Scene: large, well appointed office. A larger even better appointed elderly gentleman is in his chair behind his desk, back to the stage....
The Gentleman, speaking into a phone: How much longer is he gonna keep me holding, who does he think he...Hello? Hey Randy, how ya doing?...good...great...hey I just wanted to give you a call to ask you not to cash that first check for a coupla weeks...(pulls phone from ear)...whoa cowboy! It's just a joke! Ha-ha-ha-ha....hmmmmmm....wha? well Tino thought it was funny...anyways, everybody fine? Wife...kids...? Good good...great game you pitched Sunday night by the way...speaking of pitching...have you ever considered pitching out of the bullpen, I'm thinking you would do great there as the clo.....hello?

Curtain closes as the gentleman is seen wiping his brow.
