I actually wasn't expecting Youkilis to come up clutch with a base hit to drive in Jacoby right there — in fact, I was much more confident when V-Mart was in the box one batter before — but Youk seriously just looked like a little boy. Or maybe more appropriately a deer in the headlights. Straight heat on a full count and you watch it all the way in for strike three? Gotta hand it to Frasor, that took some serious balls pumping in a down-the-middle fastball to one of the team's better hitters. It would have been nice to write a "Sox clinch wild card" post tonight, but oh well, that can wait a day or two.

On a much more important note, who the hell was the blonde with Tom Werner? That guy's been doing some pretty big things since ditching the blood-sucking leech that is Katie Couric. If anyone DVR'd that game and feels like grabbing a photo and emailing it to me, that would be just swell. Gotta share Werner's wealth with the world. We're in a recession, after all.
