I apologize--no, this was the best game of the year.
Consider:
With two outs in the seventh, Miguel Cairo his the bleeder of all bleeders, beneath the pitcher's glove and the second baseman's bare hand.
Three batters later, Giambi finishes up 0-for-3 but gets the game-winning RBI (a bases-loaded walk).
Melky Cabrera comes up with the defensive play of the year, leaping into Monument Park to bring back Manny Ramirez's potentially game-tying homer in the eighth. Perfect timing, considering Mike Lupica's column on Cabrera today, detailing how Cabrera (who looked to be on roller skates in center field last year) was simply yanked into duty a year early. Makes sense.
Then, in the ninth, Mo Rivera gets three outs on five pitches. The word around the league must have come to, Get to Mo early in the count. For all the good it has done lately. His last three performances: five innings, one hit, no runs.
No kidding: game of the year. So far.

Oh yeah! It was a great change of pace from most of this years wins. To me, the sweetest part was Bernie getting that home run. It reminds everyone that he is still there and contributing.
