Dustin Pedroia Photo lifted from the Sacramento Bee
So I know I promised a write up of our Friday with the Taylors – but timing hasn’t worked out and that will have to wait until tomorrow. (And not only will you get my take on the day, but Tru’s as well…it’ll be Taylorpalooza around here tomorrow!)
And a shout out to the Taylors who, by now, are all back home. It’s my privilege to say that I know you all.
On to baseball and he who is crabby:
“It’s a long season with a lot of innings, and right now I feel pretty good and hopefully can just keep riding that wave.”
What wave is that, Jon? The suck wave that only got you the win because your offense went insane? (And, no, I’m not saying Lester sucks…I’m saying he suckED. Last night. And he did. And his saying he “felt good” and had “good stuff” made me want to pluck my eyeballs out. That’s all.
On the other hand, Dustin Pedroia didn’t suck and doesn’t seem like likely to suck anywhere in the near future. It is, again, interesting that I’ve stopped getting those “How can you think Pedroia is a better player than Cano” emails. 😆
Sox gained a full game in the standings with the Yankees beating the Rays. Hey, it works for me.
I had a ticket to today’s game, which I will, sadly, not be using. Another shout out, this time to Dori, who I feel like I always miss her texts and then respond to her emails way late. It isn’t intentional!!! Hope you have a great time today!
Spinners won their final home game last night at a game I was also supposed to be at. The SG gang brought the good mojo! Spinners now move on to the playoffs – and speaking of which, PawSox play the Yankees tonight at McCoy. Charlie Zink (woo!) gets the start against Chase Wright. You all remember Chase Wright. He’s the kid who gave up the back to back to back to back home runs last year. Good times.
Good luck to Charlie and the rest of the PawSox. Kick some Yankee ass!
The SeaDogs also start the playoffs tonight. They’re up against the Trenton Thunder (another Yankees affiliate team). Kris Johnson gets the start in Trenton tonight and Clay Buchholz goes tomorrow. You can follow both the PawSox and SeaDogs games over at Milb.com. With the BoSox playing an afternoon game – you’ll need SOMETHING to occupy your empty baseball time!
One last shout out for the day – to my mom. Without getting all personal, she’s been, in a word, fabulous over the last week. Hell, she’s usually fabulous, but this time she went above and beyond. Mom’s don’t get enough credit, sometimes, so here’s mine to her. Thanks for everything, MD, I love you!
Jon Lester reverted to the Lester of old for at least one game. Here’s hoping Daisuke Matsuzka doesn’t do the same or today’s game might not end until midnight.
Good luck, fellas. Kick ass!
