Couldn't resist with the "ie's". Anyway, Jenn, I'm disappointed in Smoltzie's 1st inning, but, overall, he looked like Smoltz. If you look at the rest of his five innings and then at the way he pitched for the last twenty years--that's right--20 yrs--he was right on the beam.
Tonight against his old team, the other Boston team, Papi continued his return from God only knows where he was. Definitely encouraging. In his last 17 games, including tonight's he's hitting .333 with seven of his season's total of eight homers. Here's hoping. I was a bit concerned about Papelbon's showing though. He's seemingly missing something. I mean when he absolutely has to get it done, he still appears to be able to kick it up a notch or two, but before that, oy, it's getting a bit nerve racking. Tonight, he came on and gave up a HR as well as another hit--afterward, fortunately--before closing out the Braves. Don't like it.
