So I Stopped into a Bar Last Night...
...after seeing
In the Valley of Elah, which is beautiful and moving, and has a final scene which reaches the depth of tragedy, and in the bar there happened to be a baseball game on the flat screens hanging from the walls, and the Yankees were coming to bat in the top of the 8th, losing 7-2, and I groaned in disappointment....
...but then Jason Giambi smashed a home run, and Robinson Cano followed with another to the deepest part of center field, and then a bunch of other stuff happened and
the Yankees were winning 8-7, which is how the game ended. In between, ESPN showed a ton of shots of Sox fans looking grim and anxious, which is always good fun.
Six runs in the next-to-last inning against the Red Sox bullpen!
I love this game!
