"I wanted the ball!"

Fantastic game tonight!!! Admittedly, I was pulling for the Bo-Sox. Mainly, because I hate watching games in that stupid Tropicrapa Dome. What a dump. However, to see this 'kid' come in the game, with bases loaded, in the bottom of the 8th, and shut the door, was pretty cool.

His name is David Price and last year he was pitching for Vanderbilt. He wasn't called up until the middle of September, and he looked like he was going for stroll down the beach. DAMN, he looked cool under pressure. What a performance. Furthermore, to come out in the 9th and completely extinguish the defending champs, especially given the Red Sox penchant for working that October Mo-jo, was the stuff of legends.

They asked him what he was thinking when he came into the game with the bases loaded, and back out for the 9th, he basically said: I WANTED THE BALL! (Screw the red sox, screw the fact that I didn't get ONE save all year, I... AM GOOD so give me the DAMN BALL!!!!)
