get out of town

1. quite seriously. it's time for the Angels to leave. i've had about enough of them. they need to get out of here & go back where they came from.

2. Sox are outta here too. time to head to the Trop where Wakey will hopefully do what he does to the Rays. i don't care if Cash doesn't hit a single ball all game tomorrow. just catch Wakey & don't let him stress fracture anything.

3. welcome to Boston, Bobby Kielty. that rib-crunching catch you made in right field would have made Trot proud. and then you got hits your first two trips to the plate! you taking notes there, Mr Drew?

4. that was some play Lowell-to-Youk in the second inning. Lowell flying through the air, sunglasses sailing off his head, staggering up to make any sort of throw to Youk, who awkwardly stretched, back-handed the ball, and landed face first in the dirt with his feet on the bag for the out.

5. Sox got a lucky break when they called Matthews out at first. he was quite safe. it was the wrong call, i openly acknowledge that, but at least i feel vindicated after that *horrible* strike out call on Youk the other night that was really a foul ball.

6. the fourth inning was all Pedroia on defense. i would say he's like a vacuum over there most of the time, but he's so wee, i think he might only qualify as one of those little red Dirt Devils. =P

7. insert nap here. ::shrugs sheepishly::

8. woke up to see Gagne strike out back-to-back batters to end the top of the ninth. =) that makes me so inexplicably happy. i just want to see him settle down & succeed with Boston.

9. too bad Boston thought using bats was optional in this game. =P

MFY just had to win again today. i don't know if they really played that well or the Tigers really played that badly. i know Bonderman pitched for Detroit & that he's had some command problems (or so i've read) but i have no clue what really happened in that game other than the Evil Empire has now climbed back up to cut our lead down to four games.

i'm also not on speaking terms with the Angels *at* *all* right now. ("We are soooo over." "Fine by me!") the only way i will let this go is if they manage to knock the Yankees flat on their pinstriped asses. then i will just claim we were on a break. ;-) please please please let Wake be able to pitch well tomorrow... and may our phantom bats punch holes in the dome off Scott Kazmir.
