Halfway Home
The 2009 Boston Red Sox are halfway through their season, 49-32 through their first 81 games. The Red Sox not only hold a 1.5 game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East, but also the best record in the American League, trailing over the Dodgers and their .634 winning percentage for the best record in baseball.
The halfway point marks an interesting time to not only take stock of the season that has come to pass, but also to look out at the road ahead and evaluate the terrain that lies between here and the ultimate destination.
BOS 8, SEA 4: Salvaged
The most important sign of David Ortiz returning back to regular form happened in the bottom of the seventh inning in today's 8-4 win over Seattle.
SEA 3, BOS 2: M’s win on a bloop
Seattle didn't exactly win in exciting fashion last night but the Mariners will take it.
BOS 4, BAL 0: Reverse, reverse
One day after being dominated by Tommy Hanson, Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox turned the table on the Baltimore Orioles.
FLA 2, BOS 1: Sweep delayed
Ricky Nolasco and Mother Nature stopped the Red Sox from completing a three game sweep against the Marlins.
BOS 5, PHI 2: Swing it
Next time I will pass on mentioning that I want to see Ryan Howard swing it for a series.
6/12: Bring on the defending champs
Tonight is all about riding hot streaks. Can Jon Lester stay hot on the mound? Can David Ortiz, who will be playing first base tonight, stay warming at the plate? Can the Red Sox stay high after their sweep vs. NY?
BOS 4, NYY 3: 8-0
Still want to trade Brad Penny?
