They'll win tonight, too

You heard it here first. Yeah, they are in Yankee stadium and yeah, the local fans have photos of Babe Ruth all over the place, but the team that wins tonight will be the last team to have a pitcher still standing. Boston has Schilling shot up with pain killers and he is hobbling, but Boston has Schilling on the mound. He is keeping a tight lid on the Yankees - ten batters in the first three innings, one hit. Now it is the top of the fourth and a Yankee fan in the left field bleachers has tried to knock the ball back into play, unsuccessfully trying to prevent Bellhorn from get credit for a home run. Tip: Next game, wear a white sweater so you won't be so obvious. Bottom of the fourth: New York gets two on with no outs, and they are left stranded. This will be a fast, low-score game. Yes, there will be a Game Seven.
