Go Guys Go!
4 in the first inning, just scored again in the 4th...Man o Man!
Now I have to make a confession. I'm surprised that Boston is doing so well. But it all comes down to what kind of player are you in the offseason. Boston seems to thrive in the offseason. There are several things that thankfully came into focus in the last couple of days/weeks.
JD Drew and Lowell came back from the DL. They've been playing so little this season, and Lowell only played Game 1, he's out again until Sunday's game at Boston. They're taking it easy on him because he has a torn labrum in his hip. Yes, you can wince now.
It comes down to one thing - Tony Francona. He's such a smart manager. He put in Kotsay and Alex Cora in the lineup when he moved Youk over to third because the two of them hit REALLY well off the guy pitching tonight Santana. He is a very good thinking coach.
Uh oh Angels fans - Torii Hunter just went into the dugout with a bit of a limp. Dude, that would suck because he hurt it jumping up in the air protesting a call at first.
Again, another confession - Dude, DiceK is doing WELL tonight. I'm amazed at the pitches this guy is throwing. I didn't realize he and Lester have so many different pitches they can go to. The only thing that would make this sweeter would be for Varitek to start on a hitting run. I feel bad for the guy, he's had such a crap year hitting and his contract is up this year - should make for interesting discussions. I think Boston will keep him, possibly on a shorter contract than he would have wanted.
Hmm, things are heating up in the 4th. Going to go watch
GO SOX!
edit: 1:03am - tied going into the 9th inning. Oh man. Why did it have to be played out there? I have a soccer game to wake up for tomorrow!!!
edit: 1:16 - man o man, nice hit JD! Please, Please - Papelbon. Finish it so I can go to sleep
edit: 1:30 - Nicely done Jon, put em away. Did you see that catch by Youk practically in the dugout? Holy Crap!
Night y'all.
