How 'Bout Them Red Sox???
What a great game. Not only because the Yankees lost, but also because of the great game for former KC Royals player Johnny Damon. This has been a great postseason for "the ones that got away." Not only Damon with a grand slam and a two-run homer for the Red Sox historic win, but also Carlos Beltran tying a postseason record for home runs with the Astros.
And then tomorrow, another game seven, between Houston and St. Louis. Of course, I'll be rooting for the Cards tomorrow night. Jim Edmonds hit an 11th inning home run to force game seven in that series.
A side note: I still remember the day, about five years ago, when the Cardinals acquired Edmonds from the Anaheim Angels. I was pretty excited about the deal. Our co-worker, Roberto, was not. "He's poison in the clubhouse!" Beto exclaimed, adding that Edmonds would spell doom for the Redbirds. Usually, Beto's right on target with his observations. Thankfully, not this time.
Back to the Red Sox, though. I can't decide which I like better... the 1995-2003 cute, clean-shaven, all-American Johnny Damon or the scary, 2004 Cro-Magnon-style Johnny Damon. They both have their odd appeal.
Thankfully, I have the whole World Series to ponder that question.
