Fisk Shirt mojo - follow-up

I told you that the Fisk shirt had a powerful mojo to it! Sox came back last night in the top of the 9th to beat Tampa Bay, 9-6. I've put the shirt away for today - I think Schilling has enough mojo of his own - but I'll probably have to break it out for tomorrow's game. Yes, it's the first meeting of the Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway tomorrow night. Wahoo!

It was great to see the RS bats finally come to life last night. They were 5-for-10 with men in scoring position - what an improvement. Apparently, pitching coach Papa Jack (Ron Jackson) had a meeting with "hitters-only" (did they invite Pena, do you think?) - reminded them of the RS fundamentals. Like working the pitch count, making the pitcher pitch to you. [I hope they haven't forgotten it today - it's the 2nd and they've already wasted two doubles]

One of the best things about this game today - is that it's the last time I'll have to listen to these Tampa Bay announcers on FSN Florida. Man, they suck! They actually cut away from a Manny Ramirez at bat last night to interview the winners of the pre-game Tailgating Party contest. Okay, so it was Doug Waechter's mom and wife, but still....These guys make DO & RemDawg sound like rocket scientists.

And meanwhile, out west, the Bell triples!
