Weird

  • For a final score that was pretty much a blow-out at 7-1, it seemed like a whole lot of nothing happened during the game last night. My perspecitve was a little different than normal since I was in the bleachers (first game this year for me), but other than Nomar's blast in the 1st it just seemed like the game just coasted along and we won on the way.

    Anytime you only allow one run to a line-up like that... Wow! I was a bit surprised to see Fossum only go 5 innings and he had only thrown 84 pitches. No mention of injury in the recap this morning on ESPN.com, so I guess we'll just chalk it up to Grady.

    No complaints for the pen, I don't think you can ask for much more than the four shutout innings they gave us last night. It was great to finally see Robert Person take the mound as well. I won't say he looked good or that his follow thru was great, unless your a scout nobody can tell those things, but I can say that his velocity was consistantly in the low 90s. I beleive he topped out at 93, and hopefully with some more work he'll get up to about 95 as I think you need at least that to be an effective closer.

    Time to get greedy. The Sox have already won this series and taking the 3rd game would big a nice big bonus, especially the way the Angels (who come into town next) are treating the Y-----s, an extra 'W' could be huge.
