A-Hole got his first clutch hit, in a big spot, in his major league career against the Sox. I still wish he got the HIV from Madonna. Anyway, 14 innings of duelling shutouts was tremendous. I feel bad for Burnett. 7+ innings of one hit ball and he only pitched half the game, and didn't get a win.

I'm glad Wakfield isn't back yet. When his knuckler is working, the Yanks look like fools out there. As much as I hate the Sox, I love Wakefield. I was really hoping he would get to 20 wins this season, before he got hurt.

Also, good luck in retirement John Smoltz. I always hated the Braves, but had to respect their Big Three pitchers. It would be nice for the 3 of them to go into the Hall together. Smoltz is probably not as much a "first ballot" guy as the other 2, but if I had to win a game to save my life, I give him the ball over Glavine and Maddux.
