Afterwards, Jeter said something to the effect of: "I don't know how you sit on the bench all night, cold, and come in and steal a base. Good job." (That's classy.)
Apparently in the seventh, Roberts went into the film room and studied Rivera's move, in preparation. Thanks.
It was an amazing night, and that was a huge play. Props on that play to Posada, who almost freakin GOT HIM with a strong throw down to 2nd.

Tell me, Yankees fans, do you guys love Posada as much as I think you should? That guy seems like such a solid player, but I hear his name bandied about in trade talks so much. I may be somewhat biased because I've had him as my fantasy catcher several seasons, and really like what the guys does over the course of a season... anyway, just wondering.
Red Sox Fans will never forget ANY of the guys on the 04 team, no matter which uniforms they're wearing in 05 or beyond. Roberts was total class, as was O-Cab and Kapler. DLowe was HUGE in the post-season, and Pedro (I still love you for what you did, Peeds, no matter how much mud you sling on the way out the door) Pedro was one of the greatest ever to wear the Boston uniform.
Expect an INSANE ovation for OCab the first time the Halos come to Fenway in 05.
