Final Score: Boston Red Sox 6, Baltimore Orioles 5Oh! Does that hurt? Do you need to tend to that wound? You bleeding and sore and want to cry? Well, your mom came up to see you Orioles (it is Mother's Day after all) and she can kiss that booboo and tell you everything is gonna be ok. But she’s lying… you got beat brother. You got beat bad.
Yeah you had us on the ropes for a while. All game in fact. Forget that Beckett struck out 7 in his short effort. He got hurt and that kills us. Once he got that cut/slash/blister on his middle finger… he had to sit. That’s his “FU” finger and he needs it fully rested and healthy. Then you orange birds put up some runs on our bullpen and it looked pretty safe huh? Our bats had nothing.
That guy Guthrie… wow. He was amazing. He had our number from the start and combined with some of the WORST strike calls I have ever seen, he was almost untouchable. Why’d he get pulled again? He only had 91 pitches!! It was crazy. Did you think Baez had the better stuff? Yeah his NO outs really helped. And what about that closer of yours, Baltimore? I know Wily Mo already has his number (grand salami), but today’s walks, Tek’s double and Lugo two run single/error was the final signature need for transfer of ownership. Get it? The Sox OWN you now, Ray. Oh and Millar, your secret embedded Red Sox check is in the mail. Nice toss to first.
The crowd was the best. Fenway looked like a South American soccer riot broke out and people didn’t want to leave. Fans (read: I) love the come from behind walk off wins and we love them even more when they give us the best record in MLB. Yep, we are the best of the bunch now with a VERY good team from top to bottom, amazing chemistry and they seem to be getting some luck too. Sure it’s still early (when is it late enough so I can stop saying that) but the Sox look like they really have the best team.
Whoops, how insensitive of me, Baltimore. You must be upset. I see em. The tears. There they are in the corner of your eyes. Got a big sniffle coming? It’s ok Baltimore… it’s ok to cry. I guess on Mother’s Day there IS crying in baseball.
