The Red Sox come-from-behind victory last night makes it 8 in a row against the Yankees this year. Their next meeting isn't until August, so the Yanks get to stew about the first 8 games for almost 2 months.
Here's a true story about last night. My brother calls me during the game & wanted to know if I thought Francona would send Penny back out for the 6th. I said yes. He says that he's OK either way, as long as they don't go to Delcarmen who walks too many batters in close games. Who comes in in the 7th? Delcarmen. He gives up 3 runs.
As I turn the game on in the bedroom in the bottom of the 7th, I said to my wife that the only thing in our favor is that we are playing at Fenway. We always win close games at home. Sure enough, the final is a 4-3 win.
Red Sox are like family to many, many New Englanders & fans around the country. It's always great table talk when they beat the Yankees.

I believe the cause for many violent death's and suicides in the New England area is the words "Delcarmen is up and throwing in the bullpen." I listened to the game last night and actually turned the game off after the sixth, because I heard those words and didn't want to endure the result. I saw the high(low)lights on ESPN this morning. By the way, ESPN has gone downhill lately. Especially since they started doing Sportscenter from LA.
