Game Stories: Catchin' Up. OR 35-6. Take that Rangers.

And your new starting RF for the Boston Red Sox...

...I kid, I kid, though it's hard not to notice that even Kevin Cash had a much bigger impact offensively in the first three games against "the other Sox" than Drew.

On the plus side, a whole f---in lot of runs. Each game seemed to have a few strong performances:

Game 1: 'Tek, Lowell
Game 2: Papi, Lowell, Youks
Game 3: Kielty, Lowell, Coco, DP

The starters didn't do half bad either. In three games, Becks, Schilling, and Wake combined for 18 2/3 IP, 13 Ks, 13 H, 4 ER, 2 HR, 7 BB. Everyone from the 'pen except Paps (who hasn't pitched since Tuesday) saw some action, so don't be surprised if he's in tomorrow in a non-save situation.

By the way, that bullpen? 8 1/3 IP, 2 ER (both Snydes'), 6 Ks.

In short, this is something I think many of us were hoping for, if only for an extreme dose of confidence.

Game 1: 'Tek

Game 2: Papi

Game 3: Bobby Kielty

This should've been longer, but I'm honestly wiped at this point. Start school again on Monday, and inexplicably, I'll probably have more time to write at that point than I do now. Sox go for the sweep behind Batshit McCracken tomorrow.

Yup! Now is their a fan and/or managerial component/cause to this, and if so can it be sustained?? Finding that answwr-cause(s) is what this blog should be striving to discover, IMHO!

MFY Game

1st inning: Granderson - lead-off inside-the-park HR; Guillen - 2-run HR. Tigers lead 3-0.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Re: MFY Game

Tigers won, 5-4.

A win today for us knocks the magic number down to 25.

Am I the only one

who finds Ozzie Guillen annoying for no apparent reason? I'm starting to wonder if it's just his accent.

OTM for Sunday's game [no Manny?]

and Drew is batting 5th? WTF?
PotG: Papi
Tavarez' line: 6 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
ABB: Papi hits double scoring late-inning go-ahead runs, ends up 2 for 4 on the day. Tek also gets 2 base hits. Lowell gets one base hit. Okajima holds down the fort, setting Paps up for save opportunity.

What would Dogbert do?
