A Green Day

April 21, 2007

Some papers are due in next few days. But I have to watch this game. Yankees vs Red Sox. It was at Fenway Park and Sox wore in green to honor Red Auerbach (凯尔特人的红衣主教）.

A'Rod is on the fire. 10 Homers in the first 14 games. Last game he completed a walk-off homer - the 7th in his career. Yankees came back from a 2-6 deficit in 9th inning. Tonight he added another two at his first two at-bats. Yankees led 2-0 in 3rd inning and then 5-2 in 4th.

But today Sox "played played more like the franchise that won the 16 championship banners that hung from the Green Monster", of course, with the Rex Sox tradition.

A ball was flying over the wall of bullpen, and Coco Crisp went with it, falling over the wall and straight to the ground. He probably didn't even tip it. His teammates in bullpen rushed to him in brink. Once again, the Sox showed the spirit of the team. That is what brings the priceless century-old loyalty of Sox fans into Fenway Park years after years. Sox rallied for five runs in the 8th inning and beat Yankees. But the outcome of one game doesn't matter much. What the Sox and its fans want is always there. And victory is on their way.
