Sox pitching coach John Farrell unable to manage in 2010

Well, some good news after a dreary weekend. John Farrell is reportedly unable to take a managerial job until after 2010.

The Yankees completed their three-game sweep of the Red Sox on Sunday by virtue of a 4-2 victory in the Bronx.

The Sox got off to a quick start, striking first in the opening frame, and extending their lead to 2-0 in the third. The Yanks posted the next four runs, however, including home runs by Mark Teixeira (38) and Melky Cabrera (13).

Paul Byrd was the hard luck loser in today’s match, throwing 5.2 innings before being chased in the sixth after two two-out singles. Takashi Saito came in for relief, but provided little, as he allowed both inherited runners to score on a Hideki Matsui single…

One month prior to this year’s draft, outfielder Seth Schwindenhammer gave what the Boston Red Sox hope is a premonition of things to come.

While playing in the second annual Statewide Showdown in Bartonville, Ill., Schwindenhammer led his Limestone Community High team to a 10-1 romp over Peoria Notre Dame by going 3-for-4 including two home runs – one a grand slam – and finishing with seven RBI.
