8:51 PM: Red Sox 2, Yankees 0, top of the second: Unless Pedro goes head-hunting again (entirely possible given that he doesn’t have his best stuff so far, and he tends to try and intimdate hitters when he’s having trouble getting them out) the Red Sox look like they’re in pretty good shape . . .
Update, 9:48 PM: If the Yankees lose, this isn’t going to be Roger Clemens’s last start. No way he’ll go out like that (3 1/3 innings, 4 runs, game 7). He’ll be back for one more year with the Yankees. If they end up winning, though, and he gets a chance to redeem himself in the World Series, he might still hang ‘em up . . .
Update, 10:58 PM: The Yankees are desperate - they’re all swinging at pitches out of the strike zone, and swinging for the fences. It’s not looking good for New Yorkers . . .
Update, 11:31: Yankees 5, Red Sox 5: Grady Little manages to screw it up again by leaving a clearly tiring Pedro in there a few batters too long. More on Grady Little later.
Update, 12:22 AM: Yankees 6, Red Sox 5: Wow. Once again, I question Grady little’s decision - in this case, to leave Wakefield out on the mound. He’s been vulnerable to the home run all year - why do you leave him out there? Lose with your best on the mound, not a guy throwing knuckleballs. In any case, my condolences to Red Sox fans. At least they don’t have to worry about the Cubs breaking their curse any more.
