GAME. BLOUSES.
It isn’t often that a team can blow a 3-0 lead, give up a grand slam, lose the game, 5-3, and still consider the night a bona fide, indisputable win — but that’s what happened to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night. After serving up a walk-off grand slam to New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, Red Sox players walked back into the clubhouse, started putting on “Made For October” T-shirts and dousing each other with champagne. They had actually clinched the division when the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Baltimore Orioles earlier in the night.
“It’s crazy,” said designated hitter David Ortiz. “I wanted to celebrate on that field so bad, but it is what it is. We’re going to celebrate anyway. I’m going to drown in this, man!”
