TV Turnoff Week ended just in time for the first of a three-game series against the Evil Empire (the Yankees) last night. The first seven innings didn't really give any reason to be too excited. It was Varitek's 2-run homer vs. A-Rod's two homers and 4 RBIs. By the way, what did A-Rod do in the offseason? I mean, 12 home runs in 15 games is just crazy. Steroids? Perhaps he's seeing a good sports psychologist? He appears so confident that it's scary. Let's just hope he gets over this hot streak soon. Like tonight.
After being down 6-2 in the bottom of the 8th, the Nation put on their rally caps and came back to win it 7-6. A few things contributed...Varitek's hit, Coco Crisp's triple down the first base line (after his backward flip into the Sox bullpen to try to rob A-Rod of his 2nd homerun - see photo above), and Alex Cora's game winning hit. Oh yeah, and don't forget Mariano Rivera's choked save attempt. With Papelbon unavailable, Okajima got the save for the Sox. It was a terrific nail-biter of the game, just the way games against the Yankees should be.

What are you doing up at 5:30 in the morning on a Sat?
I got up to read the morning newpaper.....I want to read the news before it gets old.
Actually, the time on the blog is off by an hour. Whatever time it says, I actually posted it an hour later than that. Some wacky time zone setting, I guess. But I was up at 5:15 this morning!
