At this moment I (and most of the Red Sox Nation) have a EXTRA-SERIOUS case of man love!
First - with 1 out in the top of the 9th inning he homers to tie the game at 3. Then in the top of the 10th as if to say DON'T MESS WITH THE WORLD CHAMPIONS - he hits a 3 run job to put the game on ice. Captain Tek's 2 run homer (HIS 2nd of the game as well) was just icing on the cake.
Yes I can say it - I LOVE BIG PAPI!
Around the league tonight:
Mariano the Stepford Relief Pitcher blew the save in the bottom of the 9th giving up a blast to - get this - Eduardo Perez. WOW. If TB can mange to finish off the Evil Empire in extra innings it will cap off quite an evening of baseball.
Sox game update - "Gas Can" Remlinger has got them loaded up with 2 outs in the bottom of the 10th. In all his time here with the Sox has he managed to get out of a single appearance without giving something up?? Good thing we built us a 7 run lead...JEEZUZ - Craig Monroe hit a freakin GRAND SLAM off of Remlinger to make it 10-7 before Inge flied out to end the game. PHEW.....breath.....Ladies and Gentlemen....your 2005 Red Sox Bullpen....never thought I'd say this outloud but "Where the heck is Keith Foulke?"
They've done it....FINAL SCORE - TB 4, The Empire 3.....Sweeeeet!
The lead is back to 4 1/2. Time to go catch Papi, Tek and the rest of the gang on ESPNews.
