A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~Earl Wilson
Truer words have never been spoken. Last night was more than a game. It was a battle, an event, an excruciating test of will and character, and like the night before, the Sox were triumphant.
At a time when much of the Red Sox lineup is struggling at the plate, they prove they are the ultimate TEAM, as other guys sacrifice everything to fill their shoes.
Dave Roberts' incredible baserunning. Tim Wakefield's selfless attitude and his flawless knuckleball. Jason Varitek's thighs, which should be bronzed after catching 26 innings in less than 30 hours. Bronson Arroyo, Alan Embree, Keith Foulke, and Mike Myers pitching scoreless innings to give the Sox a chance to win. Curt Schilling and Derek Lowe's offer to pitch in extra innings, if necessary. David Ortiz's unveiling as Senor Octubre.
There is nothing like playoff baseball. And there is nothing like being a Red Sox fan.
