I know we're talking about the Sox here, Jenn, but tonight's 9th inning comeback showed plenty of what has long been called Celtic pride. Down with just three outs left, they needed two just to tie, but they came back with SIX, including three after two outs and two strikes. Martinez showed the quality of his acquisition; JD settled the issue with his 13th HR of the season, one that has been adverse for him from injuries; and Papi--what else can you say? He may be on the down side--hard to decide if it's residual from last year or he's really sliding-but tonight he showed he still has not only character, but also ability to turn a game with a swing. He tied it in the 6th with a two run shot, and in the penultimate 9th, kept the rally going with a solid double. I'll tell you, Jenn, if the Sox ultimately decide to part ways with him, he'll ALWAYS remain a Fens Favorite--just because of things like tonight.
Sox now up 1.5 on Texas and, I believe, five on the Rays for the Card. Still have a chance at the Yankees as well.Keep hoping later this week.
