Eight in a row, and a win of the series--especially important, with Lester going for Boston tomorrow.
After the Yankees' bats came untracked, the game came down to a single at-bat.
Two on, one out, 7-3 Yankees. Papi up.
For all the good Yankee work, suddenly Manny, on deck, becomes the potential tying run.
All that is left for Girardi to do is pull the lever marked MARTE.
New kid Marte comes in, strikes out Papi on four pitches.
Just like they drew it up in practice--this time, anyway.
Good while it lasted, and by that I mean: next week, I know as I sit here, I'll be treated to Brewers-Braves while 60% of the country is treated to Yankees-Angels.
Lovely.

It's great to get a "Laugher", well sort of. You called it in your blog:
"the Yankees' inability to win the World Series in 2004 was due, more than any other factor, to their ability to get out Papi in the late innings. Marte should help."
Now I want a sweep!
