5/13: Wake up

Really….the west coast sucks all the creativity out of me for game notes. Damn you west coast. Think we’ll see Daniel Bard make his pro debut today? My guess is yes.

Is Papi Hurt?

>p>Big Papi appeared to be getting his swing back, but got hit hard on the other wrist last nigh, in such a way that I am surprised he is playing. [...]

Drew about to get hot.

When Drew was posed the question on whether or not he was going to bust out:
“Hopefully,” Drew said. “I feel like I’ve had some really good swings. I’m not necessarily getting the results. When I get my pitch, have to do something with it.”

TRIVIA: Morse Code

What is the message inscribed in Morse Code on the manual scoreboard in left field at Fenway?

Are the Sox starters as bad as they seem?

At what point can the Red Sox wait to address their AL-worst starting corps (or should I say corpse?), second-last in the bigs with a 5.81 ERA? Even the Yankees are faring better with a 5.64 ERA.

It’s a testament to how good the offense and bullpen is that the Sox are hanging around first place. Once the starters start regressing to the norm, the club will be that much more stronger.

BOS 4, LAA 3: Triple

The Red Sox didn’t want to be the only Boston team to lose tonight.
