Part of being a Sox fan is being able to ride the emotional roller-coaster ride even second-hand. I was at work today, but thanks to the magic of the Internet, was able to follow every mood swing on CNNSI.com's gamecast. I cried when Pedro spotted the Yanks 4 in the first, I perked up when they cut the lead to 1, I got happy when they scored 2 in the 8th, then yelped (really!) when the screen showed that Shea Hillenbrand took The Artist Formerly Known As The Automatic, Unhittable Mariano Rivera out of the park. Then I chewed off half my fingernails when Urbina came in to close. Then I found out that the game ended when Alfonso Soriano became the first baserunner Sox catchers have caught stealing all year (nice managing decision, by the way). I'm back in line. There's another roller-coaster ride tomorrow.
