    Overall ... the Sox took 2 our of 3 from the Phils in their ball park, and their wins were from Matsuzaka and Wakefield.

    I'm happy.

    The end.

    good question, been trying to figure that out all day. I have yet to come up with an answer.

    You watching on espn or extra innings? Espn has freidman, the rays gm in the booth, impressive guy

    Nah, watching NESN.

    Anyone who has built this Rays team is certainly impressive.

    yeah I didn't even check if extra innings had nesn tonight, figured you would be watching that if they did.

    Very true, I was impressed with the conversation. Definitely know what he is doing. Not to take anything away from him, well maybe a little but they have had many many many top picks. Made some great choices and that longoria contract is by far the best contract in baseball

    The tide is turning.
    If the Sox can win one out of the next two that would be huge.
    The next 14 games are against weak teams.
    Oakland being the only club over .500 in that stretch.

    Another big win.
    Pitching is really starting to come together.

    JimEd, I may have to take back what I said about Ortiz back in early April. I hope he can come close to keeping up what he's done in May for the rest of the season.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    You may have to take back??? ha ha ... you wanted him gone 3 games into the season. :lol:

    Again, it all starts with him thinking opposite field ... his first few homers were over the wall ... his double last night to drive in the only 2 runs of the game, oppo.

    Scouts are saying his hands are noticably faster on inside pitches now. Pitchers will adjust .... but, he's certainly come around. I won't say I wasn't worried (he really looked awful) ... but had a feeling the slack would not be as long this year.

    It's the pitching and defense, you know the thing they built this team around :? , that's what has to improve ... and for a little more than one trip through the rotation.

    I pretty much wrote off Ortiz again this season, but he's proven me wrong again. He did really look awful in April.

    In typical Sox fan fashion, I hit the panic button a the first sign o trouble. In my defense, Ortiz looked very bad in spring training as well.

    Adrian Beltre ... oh my.

    2 Homers (one was practically on one knee!) ... and a triple. Nice, as the Sox usually struggle against Garza.

    Lackey was far from sharp, but, the Rays are a tough team to pitch against.

    oh yeah ... and Ortiz, went deep again.

    Looks like the sweep of the Rays is complete.
