Now that was a game. Best one so far.

Lester? Amazing. If he can keep giving us outings like that, we’ll be in really good shape.

And thank the Maker we didn’t have to waste it.

Gagné wasn’t perfect (that double woulda left the park in a lot of other places) but he was nasty when he wanted to be. Something to build on — and silence the
boo birds for now.

Gagné. It means “to win.”

And if Papi and Manny can’t get it done (and they can’t, lately) it’s good to know that Mikey Lowell can. What a blast. I knew we’d win after that thing sailed skyward
over the Monster.

And, lo, we did. With Tek just missing a homer and Covelli driving him home from second with an authoritative single to shallow right, there was pandemonium on the
field.

Dirty. Water.

First walk-off since Mothers Day. Crazy.

Remember when we used to have a couple of these a month?

Now it’s time to sweep. No, like, literally now.

(I had no idea it was a day game until I saw the hawkers and scalpers patrolling Brookline Ave. at 10 a.m. today.)

Hopefully it will be as exciting as last night, but not quite as exciting
as that Long Island Ducks/Bridgeport Blue Fish game.

Speaking of Jose Offerman...

RIP, Phil Rizzuto. You were a great player, a fine announcer, and
a helluva pitchman.

But how the heck did you get into Cooperstown with 0-fer-man as your most
comparable player?
