Boston Red Sox 9, Kansas City Royals 3
While most of Boston was watching a different team win their game on a safety (can you freaking believe that?) the Red Sox were desperately trying not to be embarrassed by the worst team in the AL for the second time this season. Our salvation rested in the pox marked hands of Julian “I don’t tip my hat for Bitches” Tavarez. In a related note, rumor has it they now spike Fenway beers with valium. Watching a game through clenched fingers and hoping your pitcher doesn’t kill anyone can almost be bearable if you got something to take the edge off. Sweet chemical release.Luckily the offense came through on this reliever with a heavy showing. Lead by Ortiz (48th HR, 3 BB, 3 runs and 2 RBI) the bats made it so people around New England could open the sports page on Monday and not immediately skip to the football section. And yet, it’s hard to feel good about being 4 and 5 on the year against the Royals. Those are figures you want to file under “suppressed memories”.
Off the field, some other tidbits popped up this weekend. On a serious note, some fine Sox fans started The Lester Project that sells bracelets and donates the money to the Jimmy Fund in Jon Lester’s name. Cool thing guys.
And on a totally not serious and goddamn that’s geeky note, Schilling and Todd McFarlane (of Image comics fame) have started a video game company called Green Monster Games. Yeah… there are just no words to describe this one.
Orange birds up next. Go get em Gabbo. GO SOX.
