El Guapo's Ghost Rambles on about the Red Sox

So much to say. So much to say. So much to say. So much to say....


…but I won’t. I will say that we witnessed near vintage Pedro last night with the mid-90’s fastball, the sharp breaking downward curve, and the Bugs Buddy change-up over nine innings. (I am concerned about the high pitch count, but not so much because Pedro’s velocity actually increased at the end of the game.) I love watching Pedro when he is on. Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!

• Sending Manny out before rest of team in the first was hilarious. Back in high school, we used to do the same thing once a year to a rookie. The rook would skate around the rink by himself before the rest of the team joined him. This joke never gets old.

• Theo, why didn’t you block the Nelson-Bentinez deal?

• I heard yesterday morning on the radio that Tyler Pelland is the PTBNL in the Reds deal. Pelland is from up here in Vermont. I think we can rate that deal as a huge steal for the Sox. It was just a steal when I thought first round pick, Jon Lester was the PTBNL. Great move by Theo!

• Senator Chris Dodd from Conn. was at a Yanks game last night after professing his loyalty to the Sox on Red Sox Day in the Nutmeg State. Freaking traitor! I should have known; Dodd is from the quasi-New England state. Today is Vermont Red Sox Day down on Church Street in Burlington! I’ll be there and so will Senator Patrick Leahy (a St. Mike’s graduate like El Guapo’s Ghost). If Leahy pulls a Dodd, Saint Patrick will still get my vote, but our picture is coming down in El Guapo’s Ghost’s Garage.
