This game was a rollercoaster ride — but the satisfying kind, where you stagger off on a cloud of endorphins, with a smile on your face, feeling like you got your money’s worth. A little windblown, too, but you feel so good at the end that you can almost forget the couple of times you nearly hurled over the side.
The Sox got off to a great start in the first, and we all felt justified in patting ourselves on the backs. We were not going to dig a hole and have to claw back from the brink, we said — not tonight!
