WHEW...
If we are going to make every game that dramatic, could it at least be after we are ten games ahead of anyone else in our division? This game had a lot of drama, including coming within two feet from our third consecutive walk-off bullpen meltdown - and it would have been by 3 separate pitchers.
Bullpen:
Frankie was rusty. Donnelly is spent fuel. Shields bounced back in fantastic manner, retreating to that anonymous opening act that makes celebrity crowd-pleasers out of closers
Bats:
D.Mak is carrying quite the load these days.
Starting Pitching:
Let's talk about Paul Byrd: It is a good thing we signed Jered Weaver.
Looking Ahead:
After an off-day tomorrow, we play 3 weekend games at Fenway Park. Boston got beaten tonight and had to use a lot of pitchers. Plus they play a day game tomorrow against Baltimore and I hope they have to use a lot of pitchers in that one. Texas plays Detroit tomorrow, so we will be a half game ahead or behind the Arlington Showalters when play begins Friday.
