Congrats go out to Ortiz and the Red Sox for snatching a win from the Yankees after 12 innings, narrowly avoiding a thourough 4-0 loss. Last night, I was sitting in the cafe car of a train heading home from New Jersey, getting updates from one of the [Bostonian] conductors via his GPRS phone, and there was something unreal about “watching” a game via this distilled stream of names and numbers.

Now all the Sox need to do is win three more in a row. Piece of cake, eh?

Update: And Ortiz does it again. We Yankees fans are thunderstruck, I tell you. But what’s up with Wakefield’s pitching? Or was it Varitek’s catching?
