 Cardinals beat Phillies 7-6 in 10 innings
Yadier Molina never saw what hit him, leaving the field on a body board and wearing a neck brace. One inning later, it was the Philadelphia Phillies who were stunned. Rick Ankiel scored from second on the Phillies’ second error at first base in the 10th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 7-6 victory on Sunday, a game interrupted when Molina was run over on a tag play in the ninth. Molina was to be held overnight at a hospital for evaluation of neck and back pain, but appeared to be suffering mostly from a case of whiplash. “The initial stuff was OK,” manager Tony La Russa said. “At least right now. We’re keeping our fingers crossed and hoping for the best.” Ankiel reached with two outs on second baseman Chase Utley’s wild throw to reliever Tom Gordon, who was covering first. After Troy Glaus singled, Gordon (5-4) again had to cover the bag on Chris Duncan’s grounder between first and second, and Gordon missed the ball as he ran across the base.

Red Sox and othersIt's interesting to watch a team go from the underdog to the team on top that everyone tries to knock down. I am a Bostonian and sat through what seemed like endless years of sub-par Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots teams that disappointed me annually. The poor Red Sox, people thought they had a curse that couldn't be lifted. But now the Sox are World Series winners twice in three years, something I never thought I'd say! All of a sudden, the Red Sox are the mighty that everyone will want to beat. They are the bad guys now, the ones everybody wants a piece of. And it's the same thing with the Patriots. They are now hated by lots of football fans. One commentator called every game against the Pats as that team's Super Bowl. I haven't seen the Patriots this year, but I went to the Angeles vs Red Sox game 3 in the playoffs and also Game 2 of the World Series. I bought game tickets from here. This year, I think I am going to forget about sports for a while and instead check out a show, maybe Young Frankenstein. But of course you can bet you'll see me at Fenway Park or Wrigley Field during this upcoming MLB season. |
