Thief!


I've seen a lot of fun things at Fenway -- giant comebacks, base-clearing brawls, Manny making two errors in an inning (on two separate occasions), a World Series win, even a no-hitter. But the one thing I'm missing is the most thrilling play in all of baseball: The steal of home.

With the bases loaded and two out last night at Fenway, outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury stole home off of the Yankees' unflappable lefty Andy Pettitte. It gave teh Sox a 3-1 lead on their way to a 4-1 win, their 10th in a row.

So what if it's only April -- a weekend sweep of the Yankees sure feels good.

10 wins sounds liked a good number on which to start losing.

GO TRIBE!
