I saw tonight's game but couldn't post. The 3 HR's off Schilling continue a bad trend by Red Sox pitchers although they are hitting a lot more on the road.
Good night for Tek although the based loaded DP was a killer. Trot Nixon is no longer a #5 hitter in my book. Too much effort expended on drawing walks and that damn uppercut swing is a killer. His slugging % is declining.
Papelbon made Juice Boy and Gay-Rod look bad tonight, didn't he?
Wasn't that a beautiful sight to behold? I think that was actually my favorite part of tonight's game! :o)
I was also disappointed in Trot's continuing uppercut swing. We were cursing Loretta's swinging of the bat, when the bases were loaded (or nearly loaded) with 2 outs. I can't remember the inning now, but he should've known better. Just get a hit and move your guys along the bases, Mark...
Looks like they will go with Jon Lester on Saturday despite the rain out. Evidently Clements shoulder is stiff.
