2 and 7!

Beckett was lights out tonight, the bats were there when we needed them, and I’m slowly sliding my hand away from the panic button. Not far, but at least I’ve stopped hovering over it. Hope is alive again in Red Sox Nation!

Although there were brighter stars tonight, I think Tek made all the difference. He knows how to work these guys, and they need to use him more. At least until Salty picks it up, if he ever can.

I’m not saying that pitching, and consequently catching, is their only problem, but without consistent pitching, not much else matters. Let’s start from there. A few more wins under their belt, and I think we’ll see this team gel into something beautiful.

That is all.

Swing batter, batter, batter, swing!

Good things come to those who wait.

After enduring a 2 hour rain delay, the Fenway Faithful were treated to an encore display of lightning as Jonathan Papelbon came in in the 8th with 2 on and 2 out and sat Alex Rodriguez down on 3 pitches. He came back out in the 9th and retired the side in order and the Red Sox held on to beat the Yankees 4 to 3.

Seeing the look on A-Rods face when Papelbon blew the heat by him for strike three was one of those moments you live for.
