It's been almost an hour since the game ended and even watching Scrubs couldn't calm me down. (I was so into the game I almost missed the end of an ebay auction I had been watching for a week. Ran to the computer to put in my winning bid with just 28 seconds to go. It was a Johnny Damon autograph card.)I'm really tempted to call in sick for work tomorrow (Red Sox Fever) just so I can watch the game uninterrupted.

My Game 7 thoughts:

Lineups:
Nobody in the Yankee's lineup scares me more than Sheffield. Matsui has been hot and I absolutely hate it when Jeter or Bernie Williams comes to bat with a runner on base. A-Rod is so overrated he has to try and cheat to get on base.
Johnny Damon has absolutely sucked it up for 6 games. Bellhorn has been an automatic strikeout, but he redeemed himself today. Manny hasn't done too much yet, but David Ortiz, the man they call Big Papi, has been Bonds-like. I want Vartiek or Ortiz to bat when the game is on the line.

Pitching:
Tim Wakefield vs. Kevin Brown
Brown smashed his left hand into a wall a month ago. You know Tim Wakefield still has the Game 7 FURY from last year. Both bullpens are wasted. I think Keith Foulke's arm is going to fall off, but Pedro and Lowe should be able to help out. The Yankee's best post-season pitcher has blown 2 saves in games which Boston could have been eliminated. I still think Boston has the edge because of Pedro and Lowe. (Back in 1999, an injured Pedro came out of the pen to no-hit the Indians for 6 innings after Cleveland had scored 6 or 7 in the first 3 innings in game 5 of the ALDS. One of the clutchest pitching performances ever. Yes, that was a long time ago, but I think he could pull out an inning or 2 if needed.)

Fans:
Yankee fans are scared. They won't admit it, but there is no logical reason to pollute your own field with debris if you believe in your team. Blaming the umps for making the correct call is stupid. The Red Sox Nation stands strong. (Note: Red Sox Nation is in no way related to the loser Raider Nation.)

Momentum (aka Big Brother Mo):
After being down 3-0, the Red Sox have nothing to lose and are about to complete the greatest comeback in baseball history. I would not be surprised to see Steinbrenner fire everyone in New York after tomorrow.

I just hope the BoSox score 12 runs in the first 2 innings so the game won't be so freaking intense. The late-innings drama is killing me. I might have to start drinking if the game is close tomorrow.
