I am absolutely speechless right now! And believe me, i'm usually one that never shuts up! Another fricken AMAZING game!!!! Heres a short recap of the 9th inning- Ortiz got a single, Manny got walked, Jed pinch ran for Papi, Moss hit a single up the middle, Jed tried to score, Wells threw him out, everyone stopped breathing (well, i did),Tek got a single up the middle, Manny scored from 2nd!! And the Sox get their 2nd walk off win-- IN A ROW. Earlier in the game, Papi got a homerun, which gave us the initial lead. Ortiz's homerun also broke the 39 inning streak without an extra-base hit that the Sox had going.
Its creepy though, because its like deja vu since we won in the same exact way as last night. And even though the offense is still a little weak, we are winning- which is definately what matters the most. Tonights win is the 12th come from behind win this season.
The pitching also continues to be amazing, as Diasuke Matsuzaka pitched 7 strong innings with 4 strikeouts and only allowing 2 hits. Tomorrows starting pitcher will be Tim Wakefield as he tries to get his 3rd win on the 08' season. Hopefully he will continue the 'trend' and pitch a great game. He will be up against AJ Burnett who as of right now, has a record of 2-2.
