Wow...


Wow. We went to bed and the Red Sox were down 5-zip in the fifth inning. Forty five minutes later, unable to sleep, we got up and turned the game back on to find them losing 7-0 in the seventh. And then some true magic happened. Pedroia singled in one run. Big Papi hit a three-run dinger to make it 7-4. In the eighth (after Papelbon pitched a scoreless inning), they cut it to one on a J.D. Drew homer. And then Coco Crisp fouled off about 17 pitches before ripping a single to left to tie the game. Finally, in the ninth, Drew won the game -- plating Youkilis with a double to right.
On behalf of the Philadelphia Philles, we salute the Red Sox for their great comeback and, more importantly, extending the series while the Phillies sit home and rest.
And now we are off to bed. For the second time.
