The tables have turned. The Red Sox now find ways to beat the Yankees and the Yankees now find ways to lose to their AL East rivals. Tonight, Manny Ramirez leaped over the fence to steal a home run, Johnny Damon came through with clutch RBIs, and Dave Roberts flew home to tie the game in the 9th. For the second time this season, the Red Sox handed a loss to Mariano Rivera by coming from behind in the ninth inning. As I mentioned in a post a few weeks back, the Yankees are running out of gas looking in the rear view mirror at a car coming at them at 100 mph.
Championship caliber teams win. All others, until they attain that level of professionalism, are pretenders.
Love my Sox but this weekend was a reality check.
