Everyone contributes in comback win and Texas 3-peat.

Sox Bounce Back
Hold on Yankee fans, your stunning comback may take a little longer than you thought.
And, BTW, A-Rod was up to his old bush league tricks, taking a cheap shot trying to break up a double play in the 8th.
NEW YORK - The New York Yankees continue to run in place losing a 7-3 decision to the Red Sox tonight before 54,739 at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees dropped back to 10-1/2 games behind the Red Sox. It was an awful night for Mike Mussina, one of the veteran pitchers the Yanks are counting on heavily to bring them back. Instead, Mussina allowed 10 hits and seven runs over 6-2/3 innings and his ERA has soared to 6.52 on the season. Not a good sign.
Mussina got some of his pitches in the 87 mph range, but really struggled with his fastball.
Manny Ramirez struck with a three-run homer in the first inning and Mike Lowell hit a solo job in the fourth. For Manny, it's his 477th homer which ties him with former Indians teammate Jim Thome for 25th all time. Amazing how these two guys, who came up together with the Tribe, are deadlocked and heading toward 500 together.

Schilling apologizes
By David Lefort, Boston.com Staff
A contrite Curt Schilling today issued a public apology for his scathing comments on Giants slugger Barry Bonds, writing on his blog that it was “absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did.”
In response to a question about Bonds’s pursuit of Hank Aaron’s home run record during a radio interview on WEEI yesterday, Schilling said Bonds admitted to “cheating on his wife, cheating on his taxes, and cheating on the game,” and added, “I don’t care that he’s black, or green, or purple, or yellow, or whatever. It’s unfortunate… there’s good people and bad people. It’s unfortunate that it’s happening the way it’s happening.”
The harsh criticism got national attention, and even Terry Francona today said he thought Schilling should “zip it a little bit.” This afternoon, Schilling did that and more, apologizing to “Barry, Barry’s family, Barry’s friends and the Giants organization as well as anyone else that may have been offended.”
“Everyone has days and events in life they’d love to push the rewind button on, yesterday was one of those days,” Schilling’s blog entry began. “Regardless of my opinions, thoughts and beliefs on anything Barry Bonds it was absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did. I don’t think it’s within anyone’s right to say the things I said yesterday and affect other peoples lives in that way.”

Manny Ramirez Asks Red Sox If He Can Work From Home
BOSTON—Claiming that a relaxed atmosphere and a chance to create his own schedule would greatly benefit his productivity, Red Sox left-fielder Manny Ramirez has asked team officials if he can play the remainder of the season from the comfort of his own home. "My client just can't seem to focus in his current place of work," said Ramirez's agent Greg Genske, noting that Fenway Park's loud, boisterous atmosphere and high-stress, pressure-packed environment are "not ideal working conditions for anyone." "Manny seeks a work space where he doesn't have to constantly travel, can wear whatever he wants, and can work at his own pace. I assure you that he will be able to put up the same statistics he normally does while physically on a baseball diamond. Just give him until November or December." The Red Sox have tentatively agreed to allow Ramirez to telecommute, claiming that although their offense may suffer without him at the ballpark, their defense in a vacant left field may substantially improve.
