Today
Red Sox
You gotta love this...
I turned the game vs the O's on in the 8th. Dice-K held them to 1 run but Bedard didn't let anyone cross the plate. But the Sox are persistent, talented, and resourceful. They're known as a power hitting team but when they need to work some runs and were able to do so by keeping the ball on the ground. Admittedly, Baltimore helped a little but the Sox hitters really know how to place their hits... Tek putting one through the hole between 3rd and short, Lugo dropping the bunt, Pena putting an ugly hit into left after an ugly at-bat, Ortiz putting one into right on the ground even with the shift, and so on. Nice job by the offence.
Now newly acquired Gagne is trying to keep the O's down and he is not doing a very good job of that. I am not very impressed.
... Still in the 8th.. ok, sorry about the language but this guy fucking blows. Why is he on the team? What is he doing? What is Theo's deal with picking up players after major injuries? We know Drew is falling apart, Gagne's off of Tommy John surgery and they both blew the 8th inning. If we lose this game...
Now we're tied. Oki let up a linedrive to left. We're already through Manny and DO going into the 9th... SO for Oki, bad swing by Ramon... Jay Payton, remember this dude? Wouldn't mind having him back instead of any of the Sox backup OFs.. 3 outs.
Top 9.. How about that 4 hour game against the the Angels the other day? Now that's the kind of baseball that you want to see this time of year. Two great teams going at it, late drama.. Fly out for Lowell... Come on Tek.. 99 mph from Hoey? Who is this guy?... SO on a great pitch from Hoey... Also in the LA game, Coco had a SO with a passed ball letting him go to 1st, giving the Sox 4 outs that inning, you don't see that very often... Sox getting on base again, Crisp with a single to right and Drew gets a walk... even Lugo's looking good at the plate - he's doesn't look like a pitcher up there anymore.. Crisp steals 3rd! Damn.. fly out.
Bottom 9.. Oki's still in there.. Roberts with GR double - 32 doubles on the year.. Patterson has a good bunt to push him to 3rd, one out.. Sac fly? What? short CF and Crisp has to hit the cutoff? WTF? Oki let up a couple of runs but Gagne definitely blew this game. I hate that dude. I hope he files out of Fenway in line with Pena and Drew. Sorry about the play by play on the blog.

Right now you're probably at the bar as it's like 2am on a Fri night/sat morning, but you should turn on your mlb.tv
Sox vs Angels, 1:05pm EST, Clay Bucholtz in his MLB debut.
And the better news (maybe in your eyes), looks like the roster spot to be cleared is Wily Mo Pena. Clay's up for one day only, and tomorrow Jacoby comes back to be the 4th OF for the stretch run.
GO SOX!
