Another Tough Weekend

And it's going to be a rough Monday and Tuesday as well after 9 game, 3 city tour as we face off with the Yanks and the dramatic Damon reunion at the Pahk. I'll be booing him from the couch or the computer seat. I haven't figured out if we will get the game in VA.

With Friday night's loss behind us we move on to Saturday night with a fire in our bellies. DiNardo pitching, a loss 5-2 againist the Devil Rays. 4 nothing in the 6th, Youk hit a 2 run double of a shot, started the rally in the 9th after 3 walks Walker. What an inning. Loved it. And then Papelbon came in and threw 3 k's. Beautiful.

Then came Sunday. Schilling with a loss. He mortal this year. And I learned this morning that he is the 4th hated baseball player. Not sure if it is the fans or the players themselves that voted but I as a fan love him. He talks a lot sure, but he's honest, loves his family so much that he is retiring in 2 years and loves the game so much that he is going to get the Sox to the World Series again. He's a team player and he's gives every outing the most that he can and it's amazing to watch in person. He is trying to blame the loss on himself and everyone knows that you can't entirely blame the starting pitching for your own team's lack of hitting. Ludacris. 2 days in a row rallies in the 9th, Pena and Lowell back to back homeruns, valient effort, but one run short of a tie, 2 runs short of a win. Tough 5-4 loss.

So Wakie is on the mound for us tonight up against Wang. Let's blow them out of the Pahk boys. Those pinestripes are going to be in our house!!!
