Walk-off. Walk on.

Joba Chamberlain, Robinson Cano, Melky Cabrera, Jose Molina, and Eric Hinske wait to greet Alex Rodriguez at home plate after his walk-off home run to beat Boston 2-0.

This was one of those games where you looked at the clock in the outfield because it was getting way late and you probably had to switch trains to get home, where you couldn't go to the bathroom because since it went to extra innings you might just miss a game winning hit, or where you asked yourself, "when is this going to end?"

By far it is not even the longest Major League Baseball game ever -- that belongs to the Chicago White Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers if I am not mistaken where it went to 25 innings and more than 8 hours of baseball and to the New York Mets against the San Francisco Giants. But no way was it a sleeper. Far from it. It was a fantastic game. A classic pitchers' duel.

I cuahgt the game on ESPN's Gamecast a truly amazing and impressive piece of online sports broadcasting. And I stayed riveted as AJ Burnett proved his worth as a Yankee while matching former Marlins teammate Josh Beckett pitch for pitch.

In a game like this you have to be worried when team strand runners on base. New York was peppering Boston with hits but couldn't bring anyone home.

Truthfully, I thought that Johnny Damon would but both he and Mark Teixiera went 0-6 the game. After Derek Jeter singled to get on first base in the bottom of the 15th inning -- then the two went out -- I thought, what a good time for Alex Rodriguez to play the hero. He hasn't been hitting well this month but still I love him at this situation -- we just gotta see it in the playoffs.

Fourth pitch to him by Red Sox reliever Junichi Tazawa he deposited in the Yankees bullpen like what -- 440 feet away? The 10th walk-off win by the Bronx Bombers this year. They blank Boston and take their second consecutive match to go 2-8 and open up a 4.5 lead in the AL East.

Phil Coke gets the victory to go to 3-3 and the Yankees early season woes are now a memory. Two more game this weekend in this series.
