1 down, 2 to go

or three... or four.

Well the Sox win the first game behind a strong outing from Wells, some good bullpen management by Francona, and some weak defense by the Yankees in the 6th inning - the Sox sent eight men to the plate in that inning, scoring three runs, despite only generating two hits.

It really is incredible that these two teams are tied after 160 games, with the Yankees holding a one game advantage in the season series, and the Sox a one game advantage over the last... 69 games - that is two pretty evenly matched teams.

I will try and post some pictures of tomorrow's match-up when I get back from the game - I am hoping that sitting at Fenway will make the viewing experience easier than it was tonight.
