Red Sox Rally Past Indians —Again

Posted Apr 14, 08 10:45 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Six months later, the Red Sox came back on the Indians again. Manny Ramirez hit a two-run homer—No. 493 of his career—and Boston rallied for three runs in the ninth inning against closer Joe Borowski for a 6-4 win Monday night over Cleveland in a stunning rerun of last October's AL championship series.

Ramirez's shot to left off Borowski (0-2) was just the latest Red Sox comeback against the Indians. Last fall, Boston rallied from a 3-1 ALCS deficit to beat Cleveland and advance to the World Series. The stakes weren't nearly as high this time, but the Red Sox came through again. And so did Ramirez.

    Blogging Pitcher Should Stick to Sports Curt Schilling may be headed for retirement, but that hasn't stopped the pitcher-turned-blogger from tackling politics—he's a big McCain fan—and pressing issues such as Manny Ramirez. The moonshot outfielder "had not been a member of the Red Sox for over a month" when Schilling last weighed in, Charles P. Pierce writes for the Boston Globe's new sports weekly, OT, describing them as "both first-ballot Hall of Famers" (the phone lines are open!).
