Congratulations to the Red Sox, they made some very good plays in the field eenroute to victory.
Some random thoughts on tonight's game and portions of the previous games:
Cabrera-some good glove, and man it looks like he is trying so damn hard to
get a hit with his huge cuts.
Lowe- pitched a gem tonight, reminds me of Josh Beckett last year. Both pitchers have immense ability, its just a matter of stringing it together over a period of time.
Terry Francona- what? When Pedro came in, I said to myself "what the fuck are you doing". In terms of baseball, you have several effective relievers who have done very well in recent games. Pedro is an average pitcher against the yankees, he hasn't had adequate rest, and he doesn't pitch well on little rest.
In addition, the whole debacle last year where he got worn out and blew the lead in game seven, his appearance riles up thousands of yankee fans, and did I mention that he is not rested and you have a good bullpen?
I don't think the benefit of that move was worth the risk. Don't get cute and pull a move like that. No way. The game wasn't close, so its not like you were expecting Pedro excellence to get you through the inning scoreless. You could scatter two runs with Myers, don't bring in Pedro and turn Yankee Stadium upside down.
I was damn impressed though with how he pumped shit up and extinguished the rally.
