yes, you may

I just finished watching another incredible battle between the Yankees and the Red Sox. Long story short: it went to thirteen innings. Both teams had multiple opportunities to end the game, but somehow no one managed to score. Suddenly that prick Manny Ramirez hit a home run in the top of the inning for a 4-3 Sox lead. The Yankees were in a tight spot as they were virtually out of players; their defense was thrown into a tempest when Derek Jeter fucking crashed into the third row after catching the third out in the twelfth. His face was all busted up, but he seemed alert. Anyway, in the bottom of the thirteenth, Ruben Sierra hit a two-out single. He scored from first on a Miguel Cairo double, tying the game. The next batter would have been the pitcher so the Yankees send out their last bench player, John Flaherty. He hit a ground-rule double to left (past Manny) to win the game.

That's a sweep of the Sox, who are now 8.5 games back, and win number 50. Go Yanks!
