Maybe a trip to West Coast is what Dice K needed
Good game last night, Dice K pitching like the old Dice K!
thanks to Matsuzaka, the Red Sox remained only 3 1/2 games behind.
Funny thing with all the injuries my 9 year old Granddaughter knows more RedSox players and positions than I do.
A reporter for the Sunday Herald Ray Borges did a full page on Mike Lowell and him sitting around the dugout just waiting to be traded. I know it’s probably true, but I hated the way the story read. Kind of like kicking the dog when he’s down. I love Mike, but enough, I wish they would decide what they are going to do and do it.
This is probably the first year since I started watching baseball that I don’t have a favorite player. Of course there’s always Wakefield, but he’s getting old, and I think Tito expects too much from him.

Great come back for V Mart, 5 for 5 and 4 of those hits were doubles! Really helped a slow starting Lackey.
I like John Lackey, I just think he hasn’t found his groove yet. It’s coming.
Oakland again tonight. Dice K on the mound.It should be a long one. I think all Dice K games should be in the afternoon.

Papi is looking pretty good
For all you non believers, Papi is doing what he should be doing, hitting those home runs and making it look so easy! Sure he trots slowly around the bases, why not, is there a rule that says you have to run quickly around? I don’t think so. People just need something negative to say, first he was old, and in a slump, never to get out of this season, now that he is out of his slump, he runs too slowly. Looks like he just can’t please everyone. Papi has never been speed racer! we all know that. As long as he is getting the hits, why don’t they back off and leave him alone?
Jeremy Kapstein, always sitting right behind the catcher at Fenway Park. But who is he? Senior Advisor/Baseball Projects for the Boston Red Sox. and now trying to get into political life. He is running for LT. Governer in the State of Rhode Island. If elected he has promised to give all his time to his political carreer. Good Luck Jeremy.
Sox are back home tonight. Looks like Dice K pitching. Let’s keep the streak going!

Some people just know how to age gracefully!
Pretty damn good game for an old man! And against Philly.
And Dice K just trying to get some of us, me included, to eat our words. Saturday night and Sunday afternoon were the kind of games we have grown (over the past few years) to expect from our team. They looked great. I must admit I didn’t watch too much of either game, weekend schdule kept me pretty busy all weekend, but I kept my ears open and sneaked a peek when possible.
Papi didn’t look to bad on 1st base Saturday, but I’m sure he is relieved it dosen’t happen too often.
I’d like to thank the Mets for a real good game last night. That would be the one where they beat C.C. and got the win against the Yankees. Also kudo’s to Arod for striking out with the bases loaded. Now New York knows how Papi felt friday night. Strange how that kind of thing can happen to the best.
Now down to Tampa. Lets hope the good Mojo just keeps on happening!

The way I see it
I know where we stand right now, but I don’t think for one second all is lost. Our pitchers need a little shaking up. Paplebon is surely still banging his head against a wall this morning. But you must keep in mind who started the game, and gave up 6 runs , after the first inning the guys already had to work there butts off to win this game.
And you know what they did it. The guys worked really hard, V Mart, Youk, Papi and JD all made it look like that’s the job they were hired to do.
So back to the Evil Empire tonight and hopefull the end result will be a much happier one!
kudo’s to the top 50 MLB blogers. I once again didn’t make it, but that’s okay. This is my blog and I do it to vent my frustrations and sometimes happiness. I am have had this blog for 5 years and have over 75,000 hits. That’s fine with me!

At 38 years old I think Jason has found where he belongs. Back up catcher for the Boston Red Sox. Last night Jason caught Dice K. and Jason hit a single and a homerun!
Jason is looking and playing better than ever this season.
What’s up with Josh Beckett? I hope something fixable shows up in all the test and he gets back on the winning road.
I love Josh, and hate seeing him in this slump.
Tim Wakefield takes the mound this afternoon.
I haven’t been to Fenway Park in a few years, If I did get to a game this year I would hope Wakefield was on the mound.
The weather gods are going to be with us today.It may be a little cool, but it is not going to rain. Let’s keep the wins coming.

The Old and the New
Lowell homered, walked, driven an RBI single off the Wall, and flied to right. Mike is the Man right now! I’m torn, I love David Ortiz, but until he gets it together what better person to have playing DH than Mikie?
Speaking of getting it together, how about the pitching staff? What is up with that? Beckett, Lester, Lakey, probably 3 of the best. and Dice K, well I don’t even want to blog about him. What the H3ll is wrong with them?
We will not continue to win on hitting alone. There are too many really good pitchers out there.
Pretty exciting game, they look like the old Sox. Pitching, not so great, but bringing the kids up from Pawtuckett is really helping. And that’s good. It seems every year we bring up a few and someone turns into a Superstar! This year it looks like Darnell McDonald !

It’s getting old
Daisuke Matsuzaka played catch, and shagged fly balls but did not get back on the mound a day after a stiff neck kept him from throwing batting practice. (boston.com)
Matsuzaka’s streak of not speaking to reporters is getting old. I don’t know if he is just a primadonna or if there is really something wrong with him.
On the other side of that coin is Tim Wakefield. The old man on the team that is doing everything possible to get a spot on the starting rotation. My vote is definetly with Tim!
Mike Lowell finally gets to play today, it’s going to be at 1st base, which is a little strange, but I’m sure he is happy just to be playing.
Maybe Dice K should talk to the older guys on the team. He might learn something.
At this rate he will no way be ready for opening day
has Ryan Westmoreland has a rare brain condition and will be operated on at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix
Brain Surgery is such a risky thing. Prayers for Ryan and his family.

Female Knuckleballer
Eri Yoshida, the first woman drafted by a Japanese team, was in camp to meet Matsuzaka.
I wonder how Dice K feels about a female pitcher?
The 18-year-old sidearm knuckleballer, who learned the pitch watching videotape of Tim Wakefield, played for an independent league team in Japan last season. Yoshida was in Fort Myers yesterday, being trailed by the Japanese Papparazzi.
I would love to see her pitch. In Japan she is pitching on an all Male team, she must be pretty good.
And I have always had a soft spot for knuckleballers.

Tim should always have a spot with the Sox
Wakefield will have a job… perhaps out of the ‘pen, but as we know, ‘Wake is the only player in baseball who will go where is needed and not make a fuss. (This is a comment left to me on my blog yesterday, I love Tim, I hope he continues playing, but if it is a coaching job, so be it, the Sox should not let go of such a valuable asset)
It’s easy to label Tim Wakefield somewhat delusional for believing he should have a spot in the Red Sox’ crowded starting rotation( Eric Wilber, Boston.com)
After the way Tim pitched last year, why is it delusional to believe he has a spot the the rotation? I think Dice K should watch out. If he can’t step up and take command, Tim could slip right in.
I have known some players and read and watched an awful lot and Tim Wakefield is probably one of the best. I don’t mean the way he pitches, which I have no problem with, I love a good knuckleballer, I mean in the sort of person he is. You don’t see him trying to sway votes on election day, just because he is a Red Sox Pitcher he does not have the ego that says ” People have to listen to me, because I know what I’m saying”.
I am praying he does so well at Spring Training they have to give him a spot.
I know it appears I am on a rant today, well maybe I am, I don’t like reading negative things about one of my favorite players.
I have received some really nice comments on my blog this past week from people other than Red Sox fans. As a person who loves baseball, and really likes a lot of different teams, please leave me your email address when you leave a comment, sometimes I want to reply and can’t.
9 days till truck day!!
