Good Morning RED SOX NATION!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful day today and it should be another great night for baseball. Pedro "God" Martinez is pitching tonight and although he is only going to throw around 45 pitches, I'm pleased to see PM45 on the mound again. Pedro goes against former Red Brett Tomko who is 2-4 with an ERA of 4.71. Now we all know Pedro is on a pitch count tonight, but let's say he's thrown 50 pitches through 4 innings and has a perfect game going. What does Grady Little do?
Red Sox lefty Casey Fossum was placed on the 15-day DL. My only source for this story is the 6:00 am sportsflash on WEEI but this article in the Hartford Courant says that he might be placed on the DL and will deifnately miss his next start. The Sox definately need to pick up Chuck Finley. There's no way in hell this staff, comprised as it is, can be good enough to make the playoffs.
The Philadelphia Phillies have signed former Red Sox shortstop and third-baseman John Valentin to a AAA contract. Here is the press release.
A few Sox minor leaguers have been honored for their May performances. Here is the press release.
The Y*nkees made a few transactions overnight. Jose "thinks he's too good for The Nation" Contreras was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a subscapularis strain of the right shoulder. The placement is retoractive to June 7. Another pitcher, Juan Acevedo, was released unconditionally. They'll be replaced by pitchers Jason Anderson and Al Reyes, both right-handers. The official press release can be found here.
Finally, a few thoughts on the effect the 1967 season had on Red Sox Nation. Before 67, the Nation was weak and the fans stayed away from the capital...Fenway. The 67 season started a love/hate relationship that is unrivaled in American sports. In my opinion, if we had beat St. Louis in the World Series, that love/hate affair would not be as strong as it is today. The 67 season gave the fans a small taste of that delicious steak that is a championship. To quote Eight Men Out, "What do you feed a draft horse in the morning? Just enough so he knows he's hungry."
If you have a blog or Sox site and want me to link to it just drop me a line. I'll definately link to you if you link to me.
