two out of three ain't bad
photos from Yahoo! Sports
1. what a way to start a game. Jeff Karsten's first pitch of Saturday's game came right back at him off of Julio Lugo's bat. turns out he has a broken leg. i actually felt bad for him. yes, even though he's a Yankee. see... i want them to lose games, but i don't want to see anyone get *hurt*.
2. two more Es for Mike Lowell on Saturday. =( even the announcers said they couldn't believe how many errors he's been given that really shouldn't have been charged that way.
3. i think strike 'em out, throw 'em out double plays are so cool. The Wakabelli Show gave us one on Saturday.
4. Lowell's hit streak stopped at fourteen. no hits for him on Sunday. =(
5. Coco traded in his fro for braids. and grew an attitude! he did have a few questionable strikes called on him, but throwing his helmet & bat did deserve the ejection he was awarded.
6. this photo is truly indicative of the Sox offense on Saturday. (look carefully at what Dougie is swinging.) by the way, the bat that used to be in his hands? almost took out A-Rod, it went flying so far!
7. it's really difficult to hear that the Sox have weak defense this year. i loved last year's defensive quality...
8. after copping his attitude on Saturday, Coco showed up with a triple on Sunday! love seeing him at ease with a bat, finally. which is exactly why i felt a little panicky when he got hit by a pitch. i still don't believe he isn't made of glass.
9. finally a W for Julian. i am glad that he won't get sent to the bull pen without anything good to show for his efforts in the rotation.
10. by the way. he says it's *Julian*, not "who-lee-in."
11. Little Alex Cora. he got a triple (that missed being a home run by about two inches) & his second home run for the season on Sunday. last year, in 235 at bats, he had only one homer. Cora has a bat. Cora for SS!
12. the Dodgers finally beat the Padres (the two unofficial Red Sox Alumni Clubs!) after *seventeen* innings. that's one long game.
13. so sad to hear the news the morning of the St Louis reliever, Josh Hancock, dying in an automobile accident. he pitched for the Sox back in 2002.
14. off day for the Sox tomorrow. they've earned a day off. Tuesday it's back at Fenway. Schill faces off against the A's.
15. just because he's Youk.
2 with their own thoughts:
there was so much to these games (as always). You seem to capture all of it and more!! Well done!!
2. I can't remember specifically when it happened, but Lugo totally flubbed a *routine* DP. Did *he* get charged with an error? Of course not! But when Lowell can't make a heroic throw to first base in time... WHAM! error. :-P I'm very irritated at the official game scorers, whoever they may be. Can we get them fired? Who picks them???
5. Glad the fro is gone. But cornrows were already done on this team... Arroyo. He *was* right about that being a crappy call. The last pitch thrown to get him out was actually a ball. But his behavior was pretty shocking. For baseball anyway.
6. Maybe ol' Dougie should invest in a pair of batting gloves (finally).
11. Cora for SS!!!!
13. Sad. We walk that fine line every day...
