Good God, y’all, that was no joke.
I stayed up along with probably 80 million other New Englanders for what we all basically thought was going to be no other reason than to have the stake driven into our hearts. Like in that Keanu Reeves movie.
But we avoided that for about 15 hours, and we get to do it all over again tonight. And hopefully the next night and the night after that.
The top of the 6th last night had to be the most painful half-inning I’ve ever experienced on any level of baseball.
And I’m a 17-year veteran of the South Atlantic League, so that’s sayin something. I’m serious.
I wish to publicly announce that I hope either Hidonki Crapsui or Jeter or both smash their faces into a stadium seat again before they leave Fenway.
Also, Matsui’s giant face on a giant widescreen TV is just disturbing.
At one point those fox announcers showed Hidonki’s giant mug plastered onto a jumbo 747… and it BARELY fit!

The Yankees have considered many options to reduce the size of Matsui’s head, including surgery.
During the offseason, Matsui will undergo a procedure to drain what doctors call a “waxy liquid” from his skull, which they attribute to his childhood friends stuffing Gummi Bears in his ears thinking his head was a novelty bank.
