A series of tweets from ESPN’s Sports Guy (and vocal Red Sox fan) Bill Simmons. Enjoy:
10:41 PM: Welcome to the Red Sox, Victor Martinez! I’d like to thank NYY for inexplicably pitching Phil Coke for this entire inning.
10:48 PM: Note to America: Meet the Boston Red Sox closer from 2011 through 2015 (and hopefully beyond), Mr. Daniel Bard.
10:53 PM: OK, this is devastating. Bard was my favorite subplot of the season. I can’t even type.
11:05 PM: Note to America. Reacquaint yourself with the NY Yankees closer from 1997 through 2015 (and hopefully beyond), Mr. Mariano Rivera!
What’s Schadenfreude? Take a listen.

That’s why in Yankees-Red Sox world you never say anything until all the outs/games are in. Schadenfreude’s a perfect way to describe that game. The sox were so pumped after Martinez’ jack that you couldn’t help but smile when Damon and Tex went back to back.
BOTH Bard and Coke have been pitching a lot.Coke’s pitches didn’t have much bite.
This game was actually pretty important to the playoffs because it shows that a lefty has the advantage on Bard’s fastball and Curve ball in a way that righties have no chance, it’s nice knowing the weakness of the other team.
Love this post! :)
