Not even a shower & the shampoo promoter himself could stop the sweep from happening this weekend. The road warriors roll into Chicago next.
- Here’s the story of the Red Sox and the Rain Delay: There was once a game where the Sox played well. Then a storm happened. Then the Red Sox still played well. Fin. (Sox weather rain delay, sweep Twins)
- In the first part of that story, this John Lackey guy threw six innings of one-hit ball. My clock was stuck on AWESOME O’CLOCK for quite a while. (John Lackey scripts feel-good comeback)
- 2013 will mark the 11th consecutive season that David Ortiz has been on the Red Sox. And the 11th consecutive season the Minnesota Twins have missed him. (Ortiz reminds the Twins what they’ve been missing)
- Sure, Shane Victorino‘s bat may not be fantastic. But his glove & arm in the outfield are what set him apart from the rest of the OF corps. (Victorino stands alone among Red Sox outfielders)
- Today, we’ll be reading In-Game Strategy by John Farrell. It even includes a foreword on the Art of Not Being Bobby Valentine! (Anatomy Of The Red Sox Batting Order)
- At long last, the bullpen battalion is finally getting some reinforcements. Andrew Bailey‘s just about ready to come back. (Bailey [biceps] set to rejoin Red Sox)
- …yeah, I’m still hilariously confused by what you did there, Felix Doubront. I guess “terribly funny” would be the correct phrase. (The Worst of the Best: The Week’s Wildest Pitches)
WHERE’S THE VIDEO, SHANE, DON’T HOLD OUT ON US NOW
