Holy shit, what a game.

I actually got to watch most of this one (I hardly ever get to see Red Sox games because I don't have cable and I'm in the blackout area for MLBTV - I've probably seen more of the A's than the Red Sox this season, sadly enough). But today we had a family gathering at my grandparents' house for Mother's Day, and of course the game was on.

We left in the middle of the ninth. My mom and family were driving me home, since I don't drive, and as we drove along, the game got very interesting indeed. We got to my house just after Varitek got his hit, and my stepfather said,

"It's because we're listening in the car. If we'd stayed and watched, they would have gone one-two-three."

My mom, silly unsuperstitious woman that she is, scoffed, but it sounded logical to me. Hell, I was wary of getting out of the car until the inning ended, but they were in a bit of a hurry.

But I guess that worked out okay.

Wow. Shut out through eight innings, then scoring six in the ninth to win it. Absolutely incredible. (Oh, and thanks for that bad throw, Kebmillah. I knew you still loved us!)

I wonder what the Tigers are going to do tonight. This upcoming series could be even more interesting than I've been expecting.

*hugs* I'm sorry. I've been on the receiving end of an amazing start being trashed in the very last inning. It sucks.

*is hugged, forces himself to calm down*

Sorry about that. Between getting sunburned while watching the Red Wings get creamed and coming home to hear about this game, I'm a bit grouchy. *strained smile* At least the Cubs won!

My fellow Oriole fans are screaming for Perlozzo's head for taking Guthrie out, apparently.

It was a really stupid move. He'd owned the Red Sox for eight innings and was nowhere near a dangerous pitch count. If he stays in, no way the Red Sox win that game.
