I’m still speechless. I’m working on just under four hours of sleep and am still reeling from the Yankees thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Red Sox. I am not coherent enough to write a game-story yet, so why don’t you head over to the professionals:
1. TylerKepner, Jack Curry, and George Vecsey in the Times.
2. Gordon Edes, Bob Ryan, Dan Shaughnessey, Jackie MacMullan, and Michael Holley in the Boston Globe.
3. Joel Sherman in the Post.
4. John Harper and Mike Lupica in the Daily News.
5. Jim Caple at ESPN.
6. David Pinto at Baseball Musings.
7. Larry Mahnken at the Replacement Level Yankees weblog.
8. Edward Cossette at Bambino’s Curse.
9. Aaron Gleeman over his page.
10. And Tom Boswell in The Washington Post.
Everyone agrees: Boston manager Grady Little cost his team a trip to the World Serious. Boswell writes:
For years, Red Sox fans will have the same bitter thought: “Will somebody please pass the dynamite? Put it under poor Grady. Light the shortest fuse you can find. Please, blow that man out of his seat and send him to the mound to get a new pitcher.”
Enjoy the recaps Yankee fans. I’ll be back later when I can collect myself.
