Game 7: Sox 5, Blue Jays 3
Thank God for the Florida Marlins' firesale. Marlins' castoffs Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell led us to our fifth straight win yesterday, a 5-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. We're now sitting at 6-1 and 2.5 games ahead of second-place Baltimore in the AL East.
I didn't get to watch the game because I was stuck in class. Many thanks to professor Marvel for letting me follow the game on my computer though :) Apparently I missed Jerry Remy in rare form. He has now dubbed our infield the "Santana Infield," because "Yo Lo Go Lo Va" sounds like "Oye Como Va" in his obscure form of Remy Spanish. (By the way, if you didn't get that, YO LO GO LO VA is Youkilis, Loretta, Gonzalez, Lowell, and Varitek catching).
We may need to rethink Last-Out-Lowell's nickname after his 4-4, one-RBI performance. He doubled in Trot Nixon for our first run of the game in the second, a critical run with Beckett struggling to find his control at the beginning of the game. Josh ended up pitching seven innings and giving up one earned run on three hits, although he walked four (including walking in a run), and only K'd two.
Ortiz picked up his second home run of the year, a seventh-inning blast off Vinnie Chulk that just cleared the right-field fence.
Unfortunately, my Sox are dropping like flies to injuries. Crisp is officially on the Disabled List, and Trot Nixon had to leave the game in top of the fourth with a strained left groin. Wily Mo Pena took his place, and it is very apparent that he has NO idea what he's doing in the outfield. The "home run" that Keith Foulke gave up bounced right off his glove and into the Sox bullpen. Way to go, Wily Mo. Worthless assclown.
Can we get Bronson Arroyo back still? Maybe he can be the DH... he does have two home runs already this year. Which is two home runs more than Barry Bonds has.
Papelbon got his fourth save, and once again, I'd like to say "you're welcome" to all of the people who I told to pick him up as a closer for Fantasy Baseball. His ERA is sitting at 0.00 still.
Game two of the Blue Jays-Sox series commences at 7:05 tonight. David Wells will get his first start of the year. He is opposed by southpaw Gustavo Chacin (1-0, 4.05 ERA). I have a feeling that our win streak will stop tonight, but then again, I have no faith in David Wells as a human being.
