Walk hard

Just do it! I felt this many, many times last night. The "it" was throw a strike!! 8 walks?? And yet Daisuke still pulls out the win. Unbelievable. I kept thinking that all those walk were going to come back to haunt us, but our defense pulled out some great outs, and the offense was hot! Ortiz with a homer, Youk with a homer, and Lowell with a homerun! (Timely: his autobiography came out today. Title: Deep Drive!)

Tonight, Wakefield is pitching really well. It's the 8th inning, and we're ahead 5-0. Manny hit home run #497 (!), going back-to-back with Papi. Yeah! And at last check, we are in 1st place in the AL East by 3 1/2 games! Yeah!
