“Manny makes memorable catch as sox face o’s”

Manny Ramirez tracked it down at the wall, high-fived a fan, then spun and doubled up the runner at first.

this game worries me,

Shields has a HORRIBLE record against the Yanks:

0-5, 33.1ip, 49h, 30r, 29er, 10hr, 8bb, 24k, 7.83era

even though, he starts on my fantasy team.
