The Gift That Keeps On Giving: Yankees 5, Red Sox 3
So the Yanks recovered Al Leiter from the Marlins' clutches at a price that would make him seem like a journeyman reliever, relatively. What they got, despite my earlier preconceptions, was a phenominal six and a third innings of one-run ball from a man who had every reason to think his career had ended earler in the week. Sweating profusely on the mound, twitching and furiously talking to himself like a homeless man on speed chatting up Elvis on the subway, he struck out a mind-bending eight batters.
The good news is that (a) there's no way he's really that good, (b) the Angels will get to see him Friday night, and (c) if you're a Red Sox fan, the Yankees will now be sorely tempted to keep him in the rotation through the stretch.
