Another Game PPD
So, today's game was postponed - again due to rain, wind and some snow. (If it's any consolation, it's not much warmer here in TN - it was 49 when I went into church and 44 when I came out!). There's also talk of moving back the start time for tomorrow's Patriot's Day game (originally scheduled for 10am). But imagine if you were planning to run in the Boston Marathon tomorrow. Brrrrrr.
Surfing my 400 channels in search of anything to watch, it looks like Sunday afternoons are for cry-fests. There's "Eight Below" - the sad dog story - over on one channel; "The Lake House" - a Sandra Bullock-Keanu Reeves chick flick - on another. Or you can shed tears of joy over on NESN - last year's Patriot's Day Game, with the Loretta walk-off win. Hmmm
I'll sit instead and have a drink of..
...and imagine what yesterday's game looked like. You see, I have to imagine it because the jerks at my local Fox affiliate decided not to show the game - after a week of promos. I tune in at 3:55, and there's the Phillies game instead. And no one had the courage to answer the phone over there. Someone will get an earful Monday. They damn well better be showing the Sox-Yankees game next week!
Anyway, Curt pitched a great game yesterday - eight innings that was, according to Tek, "vintage Curt." And the bats continued their re-birth - the capper being an 8th inning homer for Big Papi. All the breaks seemed to go our way - a ball bouncing off Gary Matthew's glove in center, some great defense by Lowell.
Right now, the pitching looks great. I know there was pre-season speculation about our pitching staff, but right now, according to the Herald:

The Red Sox starters in particular - Josh Beckett in the opener, then Matsuzaka, Tim Wakefield, and Schilling - have been outstanding, posting a 3-1 record, 1.55 ERA and 0.793 WHIP.If they can just stay healthy...
