BOSTON -- The Angels and the Boston Red Sox played deep into a balmy New England evening, sparring for so long that Friday night turned into Saturday morning, until Manny Ramirez put an end to the proceedings with a devastating blow that sent the Angels to the brink of playoff elimination. With two on, two out and the score tied in the ninth inning, Ramirez crushed a Francisco Rodriguez fastball past the giant Coke bottles attached to a light tower high above the Green Monster in left field, giving the Red Sox a dramatic 6-3 victory in raucous Fenway Park. Ramirez's three-run homer was the ninth walk-off hit, and fifth walk-off home run, in Boston's postseason history and gave the Red Sox a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American League division series, which resumes Sunday in Angel Stadium. The moment the ball left Ramirez's bat, at 12:44 a. m EDT, the slugger thrust both arms into the air.

I believe there will be quiet in [Israel's] south," Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in a speech to philanthropists. But the Israeli leader also said he instructed his military "to prepare for any operation, short or long, that might be necessary" if the truce broke down, as several previous ones had. In the Gaza Strip, top Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh said the truce would ease the lives of Gazans, but success or failure was in Israel's hands. "The calm is going to bring stability to Israel if they commit themselves to it," he said. The truce was reached after months of efforts by Egypt and could avert a large-scale Israeli military incursion. The talks were brokered by Egypt because Israel, like much of the international community, shuns Hamas for the Islamic militant group's refusal to recognize the Jewish state or renounce violence. On Wednesday, the military said at least 40 rockets and 10 mortar shells had exploded in Israel by nightfall, an especially high one-day total. The militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for much of the rocket fire, saying it was revenge for Israeli airstrikes that killed 10 militants in the previous two days. Israel hit back with two more airstrikes, wounding two Palestinians, Hamas security officials said. According to the truce terms, militants will immediately halt their attacks on Israel, and Israel will cease its raids. After three days, Israel will ease the Gaza blockade, and a week later it will further ease restrictions at cargo crossings. In a final stage, the sides are to talk about opening a major border crossing between Gaza and Egypt and about the return of a captured Israeli soldier held in Gaza by Hamas militants for two years. .
