Wily Mo finally comes through!Mr. Beckett comes through yet again. Only the third pitcher in Red Sox history to have a perfect April (the other two being Babe Ruth and Pedro Martinez – not too shabby!) and the only pitcher in MLB right now with a 5-0 record.
Good for Wily Mo for helping out his pitcher with a monster grand slam. So nice to see. As Wily Mo put it in his interview with Tina Cervasio "Today is a different day…I just keep going". 🙂
Jonathan Papelbon shut down the O’s to end the game. Sox used two pitchers tonight. Makes me feel great for the weekend.
In other news, the Yankees lost, again. Phil Hughes wasn’t terrible, though, even though he didn’t go very far in the game. Yankees fans, he’s 20 years old and was tossed into the fire. Give him a little break, huh?
Unless there is a monsoon (which I hear is possible), I’ll be at Jon Lester’s 2007 Pawtucket debut tomorrow night. There are no words to describe how excited I am at that possibility. Especially knowing he’s healthy!
Then on Saturday I hit the Bronx. I am truly looking forward to seeing Tim Wakefield pitch at Yankee Stadium!
It’s going to be another long weekend, but it’ll be another weekend that is certainly worth it!
Sox are 14-7 right now. April or not, that’s pretty freaking sweet!
(Oh, and Gary Thorne "misunderstood" what was said about Schilling’s sock. Two years ago. And he decided to relay the story last night without clarifying the circumstances under which he ‘heard’ this. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy Gary. No soup for you.)
