One thing...
Okay, I'm really not a sports guy. I'm pure geek, I swear. I'm only aware of the rudiments of modern sports because of my deep, long-standing ties to Boston. And I really don't care about sports, or hardly at all.
Hell, when I was young quite a few people thought I was gay, and my complete lack of interest in sports may have been part of the reason. Okay?
But all that said, I have to say that I'm surprised by a lot of the coverage of the Red Sox/Yankees game, and even by the comments of a lot of Yankees fans. I understand disappointment - I am a long-time Red Sox fan, after all, even though only in the most tenuous sense. And you can bet that I understand bitterness and anger.
But Lowe pitched a hell of a game with his tendon temporarily sewed into his skin. Anyone who can't respect that sort of guts has some serious issues.
Of course, I'll also admit that it seems like a really stupid thing to do, and I would never do it in a million years. Not for a baseball game, anyway, no matter how important. But that said, I'm amazed that more people aren't acknowledging that it took inhuman fortitude to pitch a winning major league baseball game under that sort of pain.

Proof that I'm a geek:
See, I'm really NOT a sports guy.
