I have no idea where this came from, but I love it.
I’ve been telling folks that I wasn’t “worried” about the Rays because I felt that their pitching was going to come down to earth eventually. Seems to be that’s what is happening lately. Part of me is still happy for the competition that isn’t the Yankees…how much fun is it seeing the same two teams on top year after year But my true preference is to see the Sox on top. Let the Yanks and Rays fight it out for number two. 🙂
According to Bob Stern:
Mike Timlin made his 1,034th relief appearance on Friday, moving him to within 16 games off Kent Tekulve’s all-time record for relief appearances by a righthander
16/17 games (or more) are totally possible this season. That would be fabulous if my man Mike could pull that off. And it would be exciting to be there to see it. (Although, I was there last year for another milestone game for Mike that didn’t go so well for him, so I suppose I should stay away from the park for Mike’s sake, huh? 😉 )
Sad news out of Oklahoma City…former Yankees outfielder and broadcaster Bobby Murcer died yesterday from complications related to a brain tumor. Prayers to his family, friends and fans.
In happier news, how amazing has Tim Wakefield been lately? “Old man” my aunt fanny.
“Everything’s been clicking for me,” Wakefield said after pitching seven innings of two-hit ball to take advantage of another offensive outburst and beat visiting Baltimore 12-1 on Saturday. “I don’t want to change anything. I’ve been on a run and hopefully I can keep doing that.”
We don’t want you to change anything either, Wake! And that run support you got last night was a long time coming.
After today’s 1:35pm game, the Sox coaches and players going to the All Star Game will be jumping on a train and heading down to New York. Bring us back home field advantage, fellas!
