Ny 6 Bos 4 Final
By lefty
Here's an open thread for tonight's rivalry game — the final series of the regular season. Have fun and behave yourselves. Good comments will be posted here.
Editors Note: Our blog experience technical problems in the top of the ninth just as the Yankees scored another run. So the blogs and comments end abruptly at that point.
Thread stared In the top of the third with Yankees Winning 2-0.

Ortiz comes up short, 3-2 Boston after 5.
Top of the sixth.
Second and third ZERO outs and the Yankees batting in the top of the sixth...
Posada to a diving Nixon... Out, runners can't advance! NIXON for President!
Matsui, Sac fly, but Nixon drops the ball in the transfer. Good call by ump as the Yankees tie it at 3 to a cheering YankeeSonshine.
Cabrera applies the Gold standard to end the inning for the Yanks.
Bottom of the 6th
Matsui takes a hard bounce off the wall and makes a perfect throw to nail Mueller trying for two. Ouch!
Reverse The Moose as he tries to earn his keep.
Top of 7th Jeter is the only yankee to reach, but A-Rod and Shef strand him on first.
Stretch... In New York, this would take 25 minutes.
When they play like this, you see how evenly matched these two teams are.

Bottom of 7th
The "Girl who loved Tom Gordon" is pleased because he is now pitching as the Moose goes back to the swamp. A-Rod bare hands a ball and throws out Cabrera. What's this? Does the girl still love him? Johnny Damon sends a Gordon pitch over the right field wall. 4-3 Sox. I'm told by a voice over the TV that that is only the fifth HR Gordon allowed this season.
Top of the 8thMatsui hits Pedro's 103rd pitch out of the park. 4-4 Bernie Williams gets a double, and Red Sox fans pray Francona doesn't bring in Byung-Hyun Kim. Yankees take the lead when Sierra golfs a bloop single to right center off Pedro's 117th pitch of the night. Pedro rolls his eyes to the heavens as he leaves to applause. Bill Mueller tags Ruben Sierra at third before throwing to first for the out. But another bad call at third base leaves Sierra at third. Timlin is now in and walks Cairo before A-Rod is left in the on deck circle as Veritek throws out Sierra trying to score on a wild pitch. Yankees take the lead 5-4.
Bottom of 8th
Sox go down 1-2-3. :(
Top of 9th
Our server dies just at the Yanks buy an insurence run. You know the rest...
