Winning when we should

  • Sort of busy this morning, I actually have to get some work done this week so I have everything in order for my vacation starting Friday (more on that later in the week). So instead of a long write up, here's a list of random thoughts and questions about yesterday's two wins.

  • It was his first start off the DL, but Burkett didn't impress me all that much.
  • Wakefield belongs in the rotation.
  • Everyone back on the Manny Wagon.
  • Nomar needs to get it going.
  • Have yourself a day Johnny Damon.
  • Can't imagine anything much better than to have a great game with 100 freinds and family in the crowd (Daubach).
  • What's the best Sox start in history?
  • Lowe did enough, not every start is going to be good.
  • So is Tek finally going to start getting some respect outside of Boston?
  • If Oogie pitches a 1-2-3 inning, but nobody is in the crowd, did it really happen?

  • No game tonight, booooooooooooo, back to Baltimore tomorrow.
