Well the Red Sox may have lost this game making it impossible to overthrow the Yankees, but Rice K pitched well enough to lock up my second fantasy baseball championship against BMack. Rice may have had one of his best games this year going 8 innings, with 2er, and 7 ks. The two runs came off of an A-Rod Blast in the 7th.
But the Red Six were able to get Mo Rivera in the 9th by having Ryan Kalish and Bill Hall each stole two bases against Jorge Posada and Rivera. Hall singled in the tying run and pinch-hitter Mike Lowell followed with a sacrifice fly. Girardi faulted Rivera for allowing big jumps.
However, Jonathan Papelbon was able to fuck things up by Nick Swisher, Teixeira and Robinson Cano singled off Papelbon in the bottom half as a light rain fell.
Cano's hit drove in the tying run, but pinch-runner Ramiro Pena held at third. With the bases loaded, Papelbon held on by striking out Posada and retiring Lance Berkman on a flyout.
Blowing the win for Rice and for being more of an asshole.
Then in the 10th, Curtis Granderson singled off Okajima (4-4) leading off, and Brett Gardner bunted. Martinez bolted out from behind the plate and made a leaping throw -- falling on his left knee -- but the ball hit Gardner for an error that allowed Granderson to take third.
Derek Jeter was intentionally walked, Boston drew the infield in and pinch-hitter Marcus Thames grounded to third baseman Adrian Beltre, who threw home for the force. Miranda then worked the count to 3-1 before taking an inside pitch for ball four.
