Susan/Circle:
[Sigh] Just when I thought I was totally ovah Johnny Damon, having not thought of him in months, poof, there he is with a 2 run, game-winnah.
Mike:
Despite the anguish his homah brought to my Red Sox haht, I know at some level that this is exactly why the rivalry is the rivalry that it is.
Susan/Circle:
So Manny Ramirez left the game with spasms … So should we staht the clock to see how long it is befoah we get the first "he quit on the team with a 'phantom' injury" story from Shaughnessy?
Mike:
Oh, I'm sure there's already a draft on the CHB's hahd drive just waiting to be submitted. He'll sit back and wait to see if the Red Sox fortunes to turn sour first.
Susan/Circle:
I can't believe that in Shaughnessy's piece today he missed the chance to note the following:
Today, August 29, 2007, the Yankees trail the Red Sox by 7 games, and on August 29, 1978 the Yankees trailed the Red Sox by, wait for it, 7 games … Doo doo doodoo doo doo doodoo
Mike:
Seriously, that's just the kind of historicity that gives Shaughnessy the wood.
