THE PEDROPHILE RETURNS TO THE COMMONWEALTH
Sorry I haven't updated this recently, I've been busy with finals and packing et cetera. I'm back for the summer though. Maybe. I might be going out to LA in June for an internship on an independant film. Conveniently, the Sox have a series in Anaheim in June. Anyhoo, here are the game summaries for the past few days:
SOX PRACTICE TEAMWORK AND LEAVE MEN ON BASE TOGETHER
Boston Red Sox 1
Cleveland Indians 2
W: Jake "Not Mike" Westbrook (2-1)
L: Kurt Schilling (3-2)
S: Rafael Betencourt (1)
H: David Riske (1), Rick White (1)
2 for 13 with runners in scoring position. This team is starting to remind me of the Sox from the late 90s. Great pitching thwarted by a lack of clutch hitting.
The Man of the Game is Victor Martinez. He went 3 for 4 with a double, a homerun, and he knocked in both of Cleveland's runs with a homer off Schilling in the 5th. He did have an error, but anytime an individual accounts for the entire offense of a winning team, he has a good shot at winning the coveted MOTG.
The Bitch-Goat shall be divided thusly:
Daubach: 0.3 - 1 for 5, K, 5 LOB
Bellhorn: 0.3 - 1 for 4, K, 5 LOB
Varitek: 0.2 - 2 for 4, K, 4 LOB
McCarty: 0.1 - 0 for 1
Schilling: 0.1 - gave up the HR
BATS COME TO LIFE BUT ARE KILLED BY BAD GLOVES
Boston Red Sox 6
Cleveland Indians 7
W: Jason Davis (1-2)
L: D-Lowe (3-2)
S: Rafael Betancourt (2)
H: Scott Stewart (2)
Bill Mueller is having a shit season so far both defensively and offensively. Two throwing errors in the 6th allowing 5 unearned runs.
The Man of the Game is Matt Lawton. He did what a leadoff hitter is supposed to do. He went 3 for 5, had a double, and stole a base. He only scored a run but his ability to get on base and into scoring position. Damon finally hit a homerun.
The Bitch-Goath shall be divided thusly:
Mueller: 0.5 - 5 unearned runs, 2 LOB
Lowe: 0.2 - only went 5 innings, 10 hits
Ortiz: 0.2 - 0 for 5, K, 4 LOB
Bellhorn: 0.1 - 1 for 4, K, 3 LOB
WOW, A WIN
Boston Red Sox 9
Cleveland Indians 5
W: Bronson "Not Rolando" Arroyo (1-1)
L: Jeff D'Amico (1-2)
H: Lefty Embree (4), Scott Williamson (2)
The bats seem to have come alive thankfully. Unfortunately, Kim did not pitch all that well. Ironically, the man whose spot in the rotation pitched 2 perfect innings in releif of him and won the game he started.
David Ortiz is the Man of the Game with Arroyo as the runner up. Ortiz went 2 for 5 and hit two homeruns. He knocked in 4 runs and of course, scored 2 on his homers.
PEDRO STRIKES BACK
Pedro walks with me
Boston Red Sox 5
Cleveland Indians 2
W: Pedro "God" Martinez (4-2)
L: CC Sabathia (1-1)
S: Keith Foulke (6)
H: Lefty Embree (5)
Once again, Pedro's doubters are proven wrong.
Pedro is the Man of the Game. He went 7 innings allowing only 2 earned runs, 4 hits, and 3 walks. He struck out 8. Of the 93 pitches he threw, 63 were strikes. That's a solid 2:1 ratio.
SOX BEAT THE ROAYLS IN DRAMATIC FASHION
KC Royals 6
Boston Red Sox 7
W: mike "Not So Timid" Timlin (2-1)
L: Mike MacDougal (0-1)
H: Jason Grimsely (2)
BS: Mike MacDougal (2)
I picked up AM 560 somewhere in between Worcester and Springfield on the Mass Pike. I had been getting updates on my cel phone and knew the situation was grim with the score 6-2. However, I remembered a game from last year. Mike MacDougal came in to close the game and a series of errors, hit batsmen, walks, and weak hits resulted in a Red Sox victory. My memories of this game are so vivid because it was the first time I ever got really shitfaced.
The team showed alot of heart by coming back tonight. They got the starter out of the game, which was key, and capitalized on KC's weakness: their pen. It looks like we've got a little win streak going here to offset the losing streak. Just a question for Terry Francona: Why did you pinch hit Daubach for Reese against the Grimsley when you have Varitek on the bench? Tek did come through in the end though. Channel 38's replays of the game at midnight are fucked up. NESN broadcasts the top and bottom of the 1st, the last inning and the other significant innings. UPN38 chops up the innings and makes it very hard to watch it.
The Man of the Game is Manny Ramirez. He went 3 for 4, had a walk, and scored twice, including the game winning run.
Some guy named Gobble takes on Schilling tomorrow at 1:20.
