My sister, who does not like sports at all, just called me at 12:17am. She wanted to talk about the game.

"It's so exciting!" she said with a certain tone of helplessness to her voice. "They just needed one more out, and they, they got it!"

She was stuck without a TV, so she watched the whole thing on MLB GameDay. I got to tell her about the blood soaking through Curt Schilling's sock and the A-Rod interference fiasco. And the riot police.

"I can't believe you're up," she said at one point. "Don't you have to work tomorrow?"

"Don't you have to work tomorrow?"

"...Yeah."

I feel compelled to point out

That the Red Sox have managed to set the stage for their most dramatically appalling loss to the Yankees short of having the entire team spontaneously combust during the seventh inning stretch.

I wish them well, but I will believe tthey have managed to avoid snatching defeat from the jaws of victory only after a game seven win tomorrrow night.

It's attitudes like yours the Sox need. Remaining convinced of their ineptitude is the only way they have a chance of winning. That and my husband continuing not to watch the game, of course. (Every time he watched, they lost.)

Given that they've no well-rested starters and few rested relievers, I doubt they need such reassurance tonight...
