ALERT THE MEDIA! ALERT BOB NIGHTENGALE! GET JOE NATHAN ON THE PHONE FOR A QUOTE!!!

IF DEREK JETER HADN'T HIT A HOME RUN IN THE 8TH, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A "SAVE " OPPORTUNITY FOR A BOSTON CLOSER. (The gap would've been 4 runs, so no save). THEREFORE, NO BOSTON CLOSER

• WOULD'VE RECEIVED A " SAVE" TODAY. WHICH WOULD'VE MADE THEM BAD, RIGHT? I MEAN, NO SAVE EQUALS BAD, ANY SAVE EQUALS GOOD. SO, THANKS MAINLY TO DEREK JETER, A CLOSER'S CAREER IS NOT QUITE AS BAD.
• SO, JOE NATHAN MUST HAVE A QUOTE ON THIS NEAR TRAGIC FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF A SAVE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN EXPERIENCED BY ANY BOSTON CLOSER IF DEREK JETER HADN'T HIT A HOME RUN.

LET'S GET SOME GOOD DISCUSSION GOING ON TV TONIGHT (which means ESPN), AND GET SOME HALL OF FAMERS ON FOR THEIR OPINIONS ON THIS NEAR FATAL SITUATION. BETTER YET, CALL AN EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE BBWAA AND GET SOME NEW BONUSES AND NEW AWARDS. (BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T MENTION ANY STATS INVOLVING A LATE INNING PITCHER COMING IN WITH BASES EMPTY AS OPPOSED TO RUNNERS ON BASE, AND DEFINITELY DON'T BRING THE RANKING OF HOMERUNS GIVEN UP BY CLOSERS/IP.)
