It will be nice to see Gagne blow a save on one of these games.

It would be nicer seeing Gagne fail miserably at holding the Brewers within two runs.

I can't remember the last time I saw Tim Wakefield strike out the side.

Woo-hoo!

Ahh both teams wearing their alternates...the colors!

Jayhawk Bill · 05-17-2008, 08:46 PM

Called strike one to Big Papi was at least four inches outside the regulation strike zone.

Youuuk.

One Red Seat · 05-17-2008, 08:50 PM

Youk's hammers one off the wall. He hits well as the cleanup hitter when Manny rests.

**Youk Of The Nation** · 05-17-2008, 08:50 PM

2-0 Sox!

Jayhawk Bill · 05-17-2008, 08:51 PM

2-0 Boston on a Mike Lowell double, right down the line.

You know, it looks as if Bush is tiring in the very first inning.

One Red Seat · 05-17-2008, 08:51 PM

Good start to this game.

.231/.333/.462 entering today for 2008.

.266/.410/.380 career.

For a guy hitting .318/.393/.591 entering today's game, it's not a good line, but he's had a great OBP over his career batting fourth.

Of course, is OBP the defining characteristic of a cleanup hitter?
