For the third year in a row, the Sox teams swept the Futures at Fenway games! And for the second year in a row, the Lowell Spinners won with a walk off!!!
The games were fun, being with friends made it better and the weather was absolutely fabulous. Hanging at a bar to watch the Red Sox beat the White Sox was the icing on the cake of a day.
When the roster for the PawSox was announced before their game, the announcer just read the roster as it is right now, DL players and all. So when he got to “Number 35, Kyle Snyder…” there was a moment when I thought he might be there. I realized he wasn’t and was just reading the list of names, but I cheered (okay, rather loudly) anyway. The interesting (and very cool) thing was that I wasn’t the only one. As KellyO put it, people remember the players who have been here, and the crowd gave Kyle a loud and enthusiastic response when his name was said, even though he wasn’t there. I hope he knows the fans haven’t forgotten him. 🙂
The Sox announced today that Tim Wakefield is going on the DL with the same soreness he had last year that kept him off the World Series roster. I’m going with “better to do this now than in September/October” and keeping a positive attitude.
Clay needs to come up big today. I think he’s up to the task. (Edited to add: Or not. 🙁 )
