on time with.
And, uh, you know, for me, it
was a big moment to be able to,
to get one and tie that game up
there.
March is such a heart and soul
of this team.
That whole team can just strike
so quick set up with what you
were thinking.
Oh, wow.
I think I actually got really
scared right there on the first
pitch because I mean he was
right on it.
He felt that thing straight
back.
My hands are starting to sweat
already.
Not even there.
How many times do you get
Vladimir Guerrero two?
A lot of movement from Tim.
You see the two seamers and
nasty?
Are you as nervous as I am?
That'll be out.
Oh, I just ripped.
It's a pretty good battle dude.
You know, I'd like to tell you
what I'm thinking, but I don't
have any idea.
Follow tech as you can tell I'm
trying to jam the crap out of
him.
You just didn't let this guy get
extension, got him.
Not a bad cutter right there.
Dang.
Going hard in, going hard in and
he opened up finally got him
swinging through the ball.
Yeah.
Wow.
Exciting clip.
That's it.
The Red Sox have won it 83 and
grab a two nothing lead going
home to play game three, top 10
in game three, that one.
So I've been starting for a long
time, obviously and I got sent
to the bullpen during this
series.
We were in Baltimore and I told
the GM and the manager that I
was gonna go home.
So we had a meeting that night
with Wakefield and Marriag in
Baltimore and said, guy, you're
not going home, but I think Wake
had that huge part to do with
that and huge part to do with
keeping him around and, and, and
focused.
So when I think about this, I
was the last person, there was
no one left in the bullpen.
It was either me or a fan up the
middle Cabrera over to first and
gets the speedy figures.
Boston has a chance to win it in
the bottom of the 10th.
Wash burns.
I, I have um I have big battles
with Washburn.
He was, he was a guy that he
wasn't afraid to attack you
watching David on that time, one
of the best left handed hitter
that played the game.
He was so hot in that series.
This was what this team was
about because you saw a star
develop immediately ee every
pitch you throw, it was coming
in with the intensity.
I was expecting something middle
away and uh and, and there he is
, throw me that breaking ball
and see you when I see you home.
I mean, who does that that easy?
Huh?
How many clutch home runs?
How many clutch doubles?
How many anything has this guy
had in his career analyst?
It's just an amazing, amazing
hitter, amazing hitter.
He's studying to go the other
way against lefties and he
became so good and look at that
shot and look at the great
moment.
we went ahead to win.
You know, that was a great
night.
And it was a kind of a
bittersweet for me because I
started that game.
I wasn't really supposed to be
in that rotation as the third
guy in the rotation, it was
probably gonna be Wakefield or d
low, but I had such a hot hand
for the whole backside of the
season.
I hadn't lost in about 15
straight starts.
So I start that game and it's
very rare that you get on a big
stage like that where, you know
, you have good stuff in the
bullpen and it also translates
into the game and I just
dominated the first six innings
of that game and it was, you
know, one of the, one of the
greatest nights of my life, but
Then Vladimer guerrero ties the
game and we have to play deeper
into the game, you know, and I
didn't get the win, but it still
felt really good because, you
know, just having pandemonium
inside Fenway Park and kind of
putting an end to the series was
just a fantastic moment.
You know, Mariano Rivera here in
