Off by a little, but who cares?

Ok, so it was Manny who hit the homer, Renteria did get an error, and there were no reports of open weeping from Mussina (though he did seem to get pulled unnecessarily by Torre), or choking on the part of Jeter. BUT, Damon reached and the Sox did indeed win a great game, saved by Schilling (Oh, how I try to block out his politics and focus on his skill with the fastball). And, of course, the Shankees lost, and we ate Cuban sandwiches, followed by "free" hotdogs (courtesy of the Mastercard promotion), so all in all, a very lucky night. My belly rarely fails.

And, to make this day better, the hometown boys are now ahead 6 zip after the first. Division title here we come.
