SATURDAY AT THE FIGHTS: PUMP, PUMP, PUMP, PUMP ME UP

The Yankees and Red Sox added another juicy chapter to their long rivalry Saturday in a game where emotions and theatrics overshadowed a fine—and final?—performance at Fenway for Roger Clemens, not to mention another masterly outing from Mariano Rivera. The Yanks won 4-3, and have a golden opportunity to take charge of the serious on Sunday night when David Wells faces off against John Burkett. The Red Sox, who have made a speciality of rebounding from tough defeats all season long, need to bounce back once again.

Here are David Pinto’s posts on the game. I’ve finally calmed down myself—I can’t recall being so fired up during a game—, the medication has kicked in, and I will write a full game summary tomorrow afternoon. It might as well be Christmas in October for the newspapers in Boston and New York, huh? I can’t wait to read all the cheese piled on this game tomorrow, because this one is going down as one of the all-time classics between Boston and New York.

What did you think about it? Still breathing?
