Oh!
One out away.
The smart fan inside me says it was a good stop of a losing skid in a win the Red Sox needed in a bad way.
The knucklehead sheep fan says, "Sunnuvabitch!"
I thought this bit from the Boston Globe about shaking off catcher Jason Varitek was pretty interesting, though:
"We get two outs, and I was sure, and I had a plan, and I shook Tek off," Schilling said. "And I get a big `What if?' for the rest of my life."
It was not the first time a Boston pitcher shook off Varitek in the ninth inning only to see a no-hitter get broken up. Pedro Martinez did it Aug. 29, 2000, against Tampa Bay, giving up a single to John Flaherty on a fastball instead of the curve that Varitek called for.
Hey guys, start listening to your catcher, especially if they're the captain.
