Last night I wanted to go to bed at about 2000 (8:00 PM ROTC Time). However, the Red Sox were playing and we were going to watch it. And, it was very rewarding, but it did go on until the next morning. The Yankees lost.
Fortunately, today's game started at 1601. I went to the Four O'Clock Mass, took my wife out to dinner and still was home in time to see the last couple of innings of an interesting game. And, the top of the ninth kept my attention. The Yankees lost, but it took over four hours, just like last evening.
I am hoping to be able to get to bed a little earlier tonight.

PS: Do you think the "Curse of the Bambino" has moved to the Yankees? The Yankee owners did tear down "The House that Ruth Built" in order to have a new stadium. They put money over tradition. It is something worth thinking about.

They essentially tore it down once already (after '73) so hard to see this as anything other than Brian Cashman's mediocrity playing out. Sure, he enjoyed watching Bob Watson's team win it for him during those last few years of the last century, but since then it's been all downhill. (When Brian started picking the bones of the Sox' castoffs--Belhorn, Embree, etc.--you knew it was becoming a joke). The Yankee bullpen these days is as bad as I've ever seen.
Of course, while Terry Francona insists on playing JD Drew in the five hole, it's never going to be easy...
