Not the Patriots, Too!

Pleasant surprise: NESN was showing on MLB.TV even though they were in Toronto. So it was even better to watch Ortiz' FIFTY-THIRD home run with Don and Remy commenting.

Some more doubles for Mike Lowell puts him in 3rd place in the AL with 46.

Chacin wasn't too good in this one early on, but it was Snyder who gave up 4 runs in only 3 innings. Delcarmen came in with men on in the 6th and gave up a triple to the first man he saw. Then an RBI-single and an RBI-double and all of a sudden it was 8-3. Third place in the AL East is looking like a realistic possibility.

Wily Mo Pena had a really rough adventure out in RF. Reason #38 why I want Trot Nixon to stay.

Well, this was one of the worst outings by the bullpen that I have seen in a while. Seemed like they were doing better lately, but this was absolutely horrific. They gave up 9 runs over 5 innings. Ugly.

The Patriots lost in a really sub-par game. Tom Brady looked preoccupied the entire time, and clearly wasn't his best. This marks the first time that I've worn my Brady jersey and the Patriots lost. Obviously, this puts a curse on my jersey.

Wakefield pitches today. Expect 0-1 runs on our side.
