4 Hours, 8 Minutes...
Unbelievable. Last night we managed to play without any delays, in a lightning fast 4 hours and 8 minutes. The Red Sox vs. Yankees games are epics unto themselves...Every one of them is like it's own Godfather sequel, and I love it.
Now, dont get me wrong - I dont mind a little 2 and 1/2 hour morsel on a Monday night in Tampa, or Baltimore, and given that there are 8 times more of these than day long Yankees vs Red Sox games I do get my rest, rest that is well used to survive these knock down, "drawn out" titan clashes. The players and coaches will utter every cliche available to tell us Red Sox vs Yankees games are just like any other, and you have to take them one game at a time, etc...But the reason these games last forever is because they all know the truth: This is the greatest rivalry in all of professional sports, a rivalry so intense from the owners down to the clubhouse guys that every pitch is magnified ten fold.
4 hours and 8 minutes...and I still can't get enough.
Go Yanks!
I think the game will run closer to three hours tonight with Beckett on the mound.
