I officially retract the “Frickin’ Red Sox” blog entry from a few days past.
I wasn’t wild about Ramirez’s pointing at the A’s dugout after the home run, no matter what the provocation. The gods of karma apparently took note if we can judge by the subsequent outfield collision that had me flashing back to the end of “Jerry McGuire” (yeah, I know, it was football. I mean the whole thing with the guy lying there flat and then they cut to commercials. I was picturing his poor family at home freaking out watching.)
But, oh man. With the game teetering on the edge, they reached deep and pulled it out. I loved the quick cuts back to Jillians to watch the Red Sox fans living and dying with every batter.
The odds are the Yankees will annihilate them, but hey…at this point, I wouldn’t make bets either way.
Happy belated Yom Kippur, by the way.
UPDATEI’m a bit confused now. It appeared to me that Ramirez was pointing in the direction of the first base dugout, which is traditionally the home team’s place. But the AOL newsfeed states he was pointing toward the Sox dugout. Anyone know for sure? Either way it was showboating, but it’s marginally better if he was pointing toward his own guys.
