This afternoon was quite a ballgame. A quiet one, and a slow but steady pace game as well. Tim Wakefeild took the mound after being sent to be done of bullpen duties, due to Josh Beckett having back spasms and will probably miss his next start.
Starting Wakefeild was a smart move by Francona and a very easy one. Beckett will miss his next start, and it seems as if nothing has happened to the rotation in Boston.
Redsox lose a tough one 3-2 after trailing 3-0 going into the bottom of the 9th inning, with the home plate umpire have a strike zone as big as a bat. The strike zone carried all the way into the right handers batting box on JD Drew and David Ortiz. Bad strike zones happen, but ones where you can literally see the catcher framing it, is uncalled for.
Redsox player of the game goes to David Ortiz for his 2 hits in the game, the only Redsox player to do so. The Redsox only allowed 6 hits, although, that's all they earned in their efforts as well. The redsox did win the series which was a plus, however, the Yankees did split there double header against Detroit and the Rays walked home again with another win as they continue to dominate.
The Redsox have Thursday off and will head to Detroit for a series in Motown. After the conclusion in Motown it gets no easier, as the sox head into the Bronx to face once again the hated Yankees.
