Derek Lowe pitches 7 incredible innings and then sweats it out while the bullpen almost throws his W away. Since I'm already invoking Ted Striker way too much this week..."I guess the foot is on the other hand now". Even though I only got to watch 2 out of the 4 games, this was a very satisfying series against the Yankees. Let's not kid ourselves; the Sox still have a long and difficult road ahead of them, but half a game up is better than three and a half out, which I think we all secretly feared last Thursday.
