Notes, quotes, and links about a great game!
• Every time Wakefield emerges from a game by allowing four runs or less, people all over New England vow to put a little extra money in the collection plate when next they visit a house of worship (Bob Ryan, Globe).
• Wake pitched a great game. Quality starts is a key to this series.
• Even though Mussina in his career has been tough on Sox hitters, getting behind when facing good hitters will hurt every pitcher.
• Jeter has no range and should be moved to third.
• Jose Contreras could be a big factor. He hit 97 on the gun with a nasty splitter.
• Don Aucion on RSN relationships.
• The Red Sox Animal Clubhouse
• Should I be concerned? – Nomah struck out 35 times in 436 abs through July and from August through last evening 29 times in only 242 abs.
• Andy Pettitte’s stats versus probable Sox starters with 20 or more abs. Manny – 424/470/695; Nomah – 333/366/538; V-Tek – 361/400/444; Ortiz – 409/458/682
• I am not the only Sox fan not speaking to heathens so is Ed Cossette at Shaughnessy's Curse.
Two other notes:
• Congrats to Geoff and Tanya on the birth of their first child, Liam Hristo. I’ll be heading down to see the baby after I attend Game 3 at Fenway.
• VT International Film Festival appears to be incredible. Howard Zinn's book, You Can't Stay Neutral on a Moving Train, has been made into a documentary and Zinn will have a Q&A session following the showing. Danny Glover is also scheduled to make an appearance to end the event.
BELIEVE!
