Oh man...what a game! A-rod hits two home runs, one of which Coco chases over the wall into the bullpen! A-rod did some fantastic baserunning after hitting a double. But none of that mattered, because if there is a team in all of Major League Baseball that has the number of "The Great Mariano Rivera," it is the Red Sox of Baahhhhston. Oh, what an 8th inning! We enter the eighth inning down 6-2 after A-rod cranked the aforementioned 2 homers. Myers pitches to Papi, who hits a double. (Is it just me, or does he look just a touch faster this yeaR?) Myers gets pulled, boggling the baseball minds who expect him to pitch to JD Drew, on deck after Manny. Vizcaino steps in, and the Sox tear him up. Walks manny, Drew gets a grounder to advance the runner, and Lowell with an RBI single. I called a double, expecting nothing less from Captain Graybeard (jump on my bandwagon, will you...I'm all about that nickname for Mikey. Unless you think M-lo would be better?). So Mo steps in, and hell continues to break loose on the Yankees. Tek with a single, Coco with a sick liner for a triple, and Cora brings him home. Ahh, sweet victory. Not to mention a solid 9th pitched by Hideki Okajima, against the top of the order. Lovely.
Notes:
Coco and Tek seem to wake up offensively. Hurrah!
Pedroia's drought continues. With the way Cora has been playing, do you sit the little man for a game or two?
Bullpen continues to look solid. When the offense takes off, we are un-freaking-stoppable.
Sabres win the series against NY Islanders. If the Devils win, we conquer all of NYC, with the Rangers in our next series. One by one...
Go sox. Beckett takes the mound against some little leaguer today. In fact, I gotta go so I can catch some of the game on FOX before I head off to the PawSox game here in Buffalo.
