Re: How 'bout them....
As a long time Yankees fan, I wanted to say my hat is off to the Red Sox. I honestly thought they were the better team and were going to win.
As far as Grady is concerned, I would have done the same thing. It is so easy to second guess in hindsight. But I can guarantee that if Timlin came in in the 8th and gave up a few hits or a homer, everyone in Boston would have been blasting Grady for not leaving Pedro in. Over the last few years....everyone in Boston has always bitched when the Sox managers pulled Pedro toward the end of a close game because his pitch count was getting high.
Anyway...just my two cents. Luck was on the Yankees side last night but Red Sox should not be ashamed.
