Czar Wars.....The Umpire Strikes Back

After yesterdays 6 run bottom of the ninth,The White House announced today that Red Sox manager Terry Francona has been named "War Czar". White House press secretary Tony Snow said they did this because "Francona obviously can turn, with a little luck, a debacle into victory".

Yesterday, The Boston Red Sox were down 5-0 going into the bottom of the ninth at Fenway Park:
One quick out.
Catcher misses an infield pop up. Man on first ,one out!
Two walks, a single, a tagout at home on a horrible call, and a double later, it's 5-4, bases loaded , two outs.
Julio Lugo hits a ball to first...pitcher runs over, first baseman flips ball to pitcher for third out, pitcher drops ball. Lugo safe, two runs score. Game over, Sox win

Did you hear me. I said SOX WIN....a win which gives them the best record in baseball.

Francona reports to The Pentagon later today to be sure there are plenty of pumpkin seeds and pistachios in his new office.
