Seven Up

The Yankees, down 7-2 in the top of the eighth, put their first seven men on against Okajima and Papelbon, including back-to-back home runs by Giambi and Cano to start the inning. They've scored six runs so far and take the lead 8-7. The Cubs/Cardinals game has been over for almost an hour, and they're still playing in Boston.

Update: The Yankees are batting in the top of the ninth, and there's a good chance they set the record for longest nine inning game in terms of time.

Update: The game ends at 11:55 PM EDT, one minute short of tying the record as Rivera strikes out Ellsbury for the save. A huge win for New York as they maintain their 3 1/2 game lead over a victorious Detroit and gain a game in the AL East. The game took so long because the Yankees staff threw 190 pitches, while the Red Sox tossed 198.

The Red Sox and Phillies bullpens were cosmically switched last night.

Wow.

The Boston bullpen blows a huge lead, giving up 6 runs in the seventh... AND GAGNE WASN'T INVOLVED!

Devon, I hope you were watching.

It was the most boring exciting game I've ever watched.
