nah, I was in bed man. Look at the time, I have a job to get to this am. BTW, Bosoxgirl, calling me ignorant is not the best way to go about things. Saying that I don't listen or whatever does not equate with intelligence level. Now, I have to throw you under the bus, well, you LOOK like you already have been so I'll lay off.
It was one game, and if you look at my post, I predicted a split. Unfortunately, what I thought would happen would be that we would take last night. Also, I never took into account our managers who seem to find wonderful ways to ruin our games. Seriously, I was dumbfounded that Sturtze was brought into that game. Completely dumbfounded. And I still am. Our bullpen has been amazing so far this yr, and Small coming back helped. He looked good last night, but all went for naught when Sturtze entered the game. I am never a believer in the predetermined outcome, so I freeze the game at 3-3 Loretta up, and Sturtze comes in. The dynamic of the game changed right then and there. If Proctor is brought in and he gets Loretta to K or bounce into a DP, Ortiz gets pitched to differently.
Well, I'm not eating my words, because I actually predicted a split and that is still a good chance of happening. I just hope Cashman takes control and DFA's sturtze so we cannot use him again. Seriously, if you guys brought in Seanez instead of Timlin last night, would you have been angry. Sturtze is our equivalent.
Oh well, one game and there are a lot of positives for us. You guys couldnt hit aside from Ortiz and Manny (5 for 26). Wang didnt have nearly his best stuff, but gave us 5 gutty innings. Small looked very sharp, but his stamina is a problem. Our offense actually made solid contact off wakey the entire night, something we didnt do very well in recent history, the ball just didnt fall in and Boston's D certainly has improved. And last, but certainly not least, our manager gave the game away. You should all sned thank you letters to Torre. Have a good day all. And Bosoxgirl, how's the 4th grade treating you?
