It’s Almost Over

Guess who wrote this?
The series sweep started to slip away from the Sox in the bottom of the ninth, when Jonathan Papelbon blew another save and the Yankees tied the score. It slipped away completely in the 10th, as the Yankees loaded the bases with no outs against Hideki Okajima.
So, there will be no epic comeback, no miraculous finish. While the Sox are not yet eliminated, their number is down to one with a week of baseball left after their 4-3 loss to the Yankees last night. It was a game that had gone from elation to depression in half an inning, in the space of a few pitches from Papelbon (even as he appeared to be squeezed by umpire Phil Cuzzi).
Jonathan Papelbon was squeezed by the umpire? I’m sorry I missed that.

You are treating that poor woman the way Bogart treats Wilmer in “The Maltese Falcon.” Harsh, but fair.

Guess, you’re cruel. The Giants are lost.
Anon, truth is I really blame the Globe editors. I think Benjamin is a disastrous writer, but she may very well be a fine reporter, and that’s not nothing. I’ve worked with plenty of ghastly writers who are fantastic reporters. It’s no big deal. Why the Globe doesn’t conduct some basic editing of AB’s copy, I don’t understand.

hell of an investment by the NYT, eh?
