Red Sox 9
Brewers 1

This game was the first game of the series in which the Sox were good all around. Great offensive explosion, Quality Start from the starting pitcher, and scoreless bullpen work.

Two players did really well today. D-Lowe pitched on three days rest and endured a blister to give the Sox 6 innings of work allowing a solitary run. Kevin "Moose" Millar a.k.a. Millarthra hit a 3 run homer in the 3rd to give the Sox a commanding 5-1 lead. He hit a solo shot later in the game which was just him showing off. I can't beleive Grady "Forrest" Little didn't start Millar yesterday night. Anyway, he's hot as hell right now so he's gotta be in the lineup every day.

Speaking of Millar, he is the first back-to-back winner of Pedrophile's Man of the Game award! He went 2 for 4 with a pair of HRs. D-lowe was a close runner up so he'll be rewarded with an honorable mention. Through three MOTGs awarded, here are the standings:

1. Kevin "Moose" Millar - 2
2. "Get Your" Trot "Here" Nixon - 1

How did the Y*nkees do today? Well, you can watch the game on ESPN tonight at 8:05 Boston time, 1:00 am on Monday London time. They're playing the Cubs in the rubbah game of their series. Andy "I look like a female horse in a Disney movie" Pettitte will take on Mark "turned down getting drafted by the Y*nkees" Prior. I think the Nation should watch this game not only to see how the scum do but to get a look at Mark Prior. It's been a long while since Sox fans have seen a great young pitcher like Prior. I'd say we haven't seen someone like that wearing a Sox uniform since roger cl*mens.

Speaking of the Cubs, a few posts ago I errantly stated that the Red Sox beat the Cubs in Game 7 of the 1918 World Series in their last meaningful game. In fact, it was Game 6. Thanks to Allan for keeping me honest. I didn't look it up myself but I'll take his word for it. After all, he wrote the book on 1918, literally. You can visit his site www.pedro45.com any time free of charge, hehe.

Finally, a little tidbit about last night's 11-10 come-from-behind victory. I beleive that was the ONLY game the Sox won when trailing in the 9th inning. Before that I think the Sox had lost 28 or 29 such games.
