It's always fun to look back to how things were viewed during the
last championship run of your
Carmine Hose. Exactly three years ago today, we were celebrating a stirring victory over
The Bronx Embalmers, 8-4. Things were knotted up at four—after
John Lackey blew a four-run lead—when
Jarrod Saltalamacchia unloaded a salami to put the dagger in
The Pinstriped Posers. The win reduced the Sox Magic Number to win the division down to 7 (it's 17 today).
Junichi Tazawa and
Koji Uehara nailed down the win in the eighth and ninth, respectively. Ah, those were the days! You can see the full FN page for that day
