The Rivalry Continues

Filed under Baseball, Red Sox

I haven’t written about my beloved Red Sox in a while, well, because they’ve been depressing as of late. I love the fact that even Johnny has been saying that they “are just a bad team right now”. I was a little worried with them going into a weekend series with the Yankee$ in NY. The first game was a bit of a pooper. There was some questionable decisions made by the third base coach that cost us some potential lead-extending runs, but that’s life. Then game 2 just exploded! Holy crap, 17 runs and 27 hits!!! Unbelievable…that all I can say. That brings us to tonights game. Boomer has been very bi-polar in his starts this year. He managed to bring the kick-a arm with him tonight, and pitched a gem. He only allowed 6 hits and 2 runs over 8.1 innings. Way to go Boomer. And the bats are really starting to pick up now. Manny and Edgah are pulling out of their funks and are now putting up some big numbers. Destination: Dynasty writes:

Edgar Renteria is up to .290 and scorching hot right now. At one time in this game he was 12 for his last 14. Manny, at one point in the game, was 7 for his last 7, all singles.

Papi had 2 MONSTER long-balls tonight; an upper-deck shot in the first to right field, and a straightaway center shot in the third. Dynasty called the second HR “Reggie Jackson-esque“, and also says that “He hit that ball wicked hahhd.” Gotta love it.
