Last (Regular Season) Game at Yankee Stadium

The Red Sox blew a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2 to the Yankees on a walk off single by Jason Giambi yesterday. Giambi hit a 2 out homer against Hideki Okajima to tie the game in the seventh. You can read all about that I'm sure all over.

Sometimes it's the little plays that make a difference though. Lester had 2 outs in the 7th with two strikes on the Yankees first baseman Cody Ransom. Ransom foul tipped the next pitch right into Varitek's glove. If he had just sweezed it, Lester's out of the jam and the Sox are up 2-0. But Jason dropped it, and Ransom hit the next pitch for a double, causing Francona to go to the bullpen. He succeed at the inherited runner and went to Okajima, who immediately let up the aforementioned 2 run homer to Giambi.

That botched foul tip, though I doubt it got any press coverage, was the difference in the game.

Oh well. Good Riddance Yankee Stadium. Are they blowing it up or keeping it as a monument? If they're blowing it up, how do I apply to be the guy that gets to push the button?
