Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Game 2, Overflow Thread 3: An Angel Did It

What on Earth is this?

 Location_php_medium

via www.brooksbaseball.net

I'll tell you what it is: It's Okajima's bases loaded walk to Nick Johnson, which included 4 pitches in the zone, and 1 outside. Yup.

Sox are gonna need some late-innings magic. It's 5-4 in the bottom of the 8th.

that will change

Baseball is a game of streaks. Drew went something like 3 of 40 in the middle of last year – but sure had nice numbers overall. He was hot down the stretch.

That’s why we have nine hitters in the lineup.
