Big Swing |
Today's 'rubber match' between
The Bronx Embalmers and your
Carmine Hose is a petty big one—maybe even the prototypical "biggest game of the year". The final game before the All-Star Break is
always big—because it sets the attitudinal tone for the second half. Win it, and you go out on a high note. Lose it, and you carry that funk for days. This year, the final game has even
more meaning. The Red Sox could find themselves just 4.5 games out of first at the break with a win today over
The Evil Ones. A loss and they are set back to 6.5. That's a
huge psychological
and statistical swing.
