Those TV close-ups show the managers and players twitching to beat the band. Sure, a few portray calm. But you can bet a case of Sam Adams they're nervous, too. I cannot think of any other game that pits mini-bastions of time against split seconds with such implications. And look how that Cubs thing turned! This game is where the fat lady began her career.
One out. Okay. Nerves are settling down here. GO Sox!!!
