Nats Slammed, Then Swept Out Of Fenway
*****16 HITS FOR SOX*****
This was wild, fun, and over early. Jon Lester was sharp. All his pitches were working, and for 6 innings, he owned the Nationals, striking out ten while alowing one lone run. David Ortiz ended the competition with a grand slam in the second inning. He became only the 3rd player in major league history to have 5 career grand slams in the same ballpark, joining Cecil Cooper of the Brewers and Ken Williams of the St. Louis Browns. WOW!! Mark Loretta had his second straight 3 hit game. Trot Nixon also added 3 hits, as the Sox batted a Ted Williams-like .404 in the series. Maybe the Nationals could move into the AL East? Please??
Rudy and Judy each threw 1 20 pitch inning, of course giving up a run in each. Little Manny D. was just fine in the 8th. And an day off today as well as Monday will provide needed rest and forgoes any need for a 5th starter. Thank you schedule makers, although the way the club is hitting, we have to hope a day off doesn't cool the lumber. Oh, and Alex Gonzales continued his improved hitting while providing the best defense in the league. He and Alex Cora are invaluable.....naysayers be gone!
I'll be back later with more this and more that. Thanks for stopping by.

Both are Horrendous.
Red Sox drop a team, the Yankees couldn't do.
The Marlins could break Torre's Turkeys:
$16M vs $200M;
"Costanzaaaaaa!"
Jon Lester is here, a star, and he has the sheer talent, the dizzying array of pitches, to stay here, soon to be a 20 game sub 3.00 ERA guy. OUR GUY. And Michael, to me it's Rudy and Judy. That flows off the tounge nicely. If the game had been close, we would never have seen them appear.
My planned Analysis of Pre Red Sox Mets, will be about who has the Slightly-More Competent Pitching Coach:
Roger Clemens is not in this picture, like I give a Flying F---;
& have added Giselle from Red Sox Teen Nation & Diary From Red Sox Nation, so I am approaching Julia & Rudy's ERA.
Good stuff ML.
