All the Marbles
With even desultory baseball fans, like yours truly, captivated by the Yankees-Red Sox ALCS series -- and being sleep-deprived at work as a result -- the stage is set for an historic game 7 tonight. Problem is, the Yankees juggernaut is looking anemic. As Harvey Araton writes in the Times:
It was a disquieting experience for the 56,128 fans whom Curt Schilling and the Red Sox at last had the pleasure of silencing. More chilling still for the Yankees is Game 7 tonight, as they face becoming the only team in baseball history to cough up a seven-game series after winning the first three.
