Fitting To Be Tied

Wow! The Marlins tied up the Series tonight on a twelfth-inning walk-off home run by Alex Gonzalez, 4-3. There were plenty of stories and heroes from Roger Clemens, who battled back from a 3-inning first in his farewell start, to Carl Pavano, who fought Clemens tough all night, to Ruben Sierra, who tied the game with a triple in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, to Gonzalez.

All I can say is if you didn't like this one you are not a baseball fan. And if you missed the lat-inning heroics because of something as mundane as sleep, then shame on you.

I predicted that the Yankees would take the next two games after going up 2-1, and boy, am I ever glad I was wrong. Now, it's a series. I can empathize with my Yankee fan friends, but I have to admit that it was an extremely enjoyable game, perhaps one that will be remembered for a long time.

It's a rematch of game one (Wells and Penny) tomorrow and then back to the Bronx for at least one more. Now, I've got to get some sleep.
