So, something for everyone during today's doubleheader. If you're a Red Sox fan, you LOVED game one. Final Score 13-3. If you're a Braves fan, you're loving game 2 - currently 11-0 in the middle of the 8th. So, tomorrow's game could be quite key!

I missed most of the second game due to social engagements (!), but I did enjoy the first game. Especially my Mikey (above) who had a Grand Slam! Yeah! The offense was simply crushing.

Game 2 seems to have been dominated by the Braves Offense. Of course, the starting pitching played a key role in both. In Game one, Matsuzaka pitched another beaut - 8 innings, 6 ks. The Braves had a pitcher newly called up, who only lasted until the 2nd inning. In the nightcap, we had Davern Hansack pitching, newly called up from Pawtucket - they had John Smoltz going.

So both bullpens have been taxed. I'm thinking tomorrow's game could be a blow-out or an incredible pitching/offensive duel. Stay tuned!
