Well, Jenn, I had hoped I'd be doing my Hub Headline celebrating wins by the Sox AND C's, but the Lakers put at least a temporary crimp in that one. Anyway, the Sox did their thing, cutting off a few rattles on the way. While Bucky wasn't overpowering, he did have 8 K's in under six innings and pitched well enough to notch his ninth W for the season. Is twenty possible? Add in Lackey and Lester and you have to ask if a twenty tri-fecta is possible. Have to see as the season goes along.
Offensively, Papi seems to again be picking up the pace after a two week slump. Tonight he went 2-4, including his team high 13th dinger for a pair of runs.The B.A.'s back up to .257. Joining Papi with multi-hit games were Yoouuk, JD and Dusty. In fact Dusty got his 22d double and Papi and Yoooukk each got ribbie number 41, just behind Beltre's team leading 43.
The best part of the finishing off of the D-B's was the pen performance. Starting in the 5th with 2 out, Oki gave up a hit, and then surrendered no hits, while all three successive Sox hurlers combined for 2 2/3 innings of perfection--nothing, nada, rien, nichts--whatever language you speak, that's all the same--no-one got to first base. Very impressive.
Oh, yes--and to our recent visitors from Seoul, Korea and Sarasota: Welcome and thank you!
