G7: Red Sox 8, Yankees 1



A perfect afternoon. I was able to watch the pre-game ceremonies via a NESN broadcast on my laptop -- which was a godsend since ESPN was utterly useless. The Baseball Tonight broadcast showed scattered clips -- a lot less than I expected -- and even then the four anchors insisted on blabbing idiotically, thus ruining the moment.

Wakefield pitched seven strong innings, Mantei looked better than usual, Foulke pitched a perfect ninth (great, use him in an 8-1 game, but not a 3-3 tie), Mirabelli hit an early bomb off of Mussina, Millar and Nixon both had two-rbi hits and Renteria banged a double in his final at-bat.

Various SoSHers were at the game and have posted pictures here.

Was counting on ESPN to help me see the ring ceremony too. Like I care whether Kruk and Reynolds would come back for the ring ceremony if they were in Lowe's situation and what they would wear. I think it was some of the worst commentary I've ever heard. They should pair up with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. They have such genuinely idiotic comments, it's impressive. What a colossal waste.

Kruk was being an absolute moron the whole day. When he talked about how the Yankees shouldn't put up with Giambi's horrible offense anymore (.235 batting avg! .800+ OPS!! before the game), Reynolds completely put him in his place, reminding him the season was only 6 games old.
