160 Down, 2 To Go

With Roy Hobbs in attendance, David "Cy" Wells delivered a big time performance tonight and the Red Sox got it done 5-3 against the Yankees evening the American League East. Strange how the tables have turned since 2003 as the Yankees put forth a postiviely Bostonian effort tonight, walking a run in and allowing another to score on a shaky throw from Giambi to Posada with the sacks stacked. Didn't these things only seem to happen to the Red Sox a few years ago? Nonetheless, the stage is set for a showdown tomorrow. The last time Wakefield faced Johnson, he pitched a gem, but come out on the wrong end of a 1-0 nailbiter. Here's hoping for strong headwind tomorrow.

Meanwhile in Cleveland, as predicted, Ozzie Guillen is doing everything in his power to ensure the Indians a victory tonight. Nursing a one run lead in the bottom of the ninth with the tying run at third, Oz first failed to go to his closer, then played the infield back with the tying run at third. Thank you South Siders! Here's hoping you lose the home field!
