Abe Alvarez will be in the bullpen this weekend in Philadelphia, as Mike Holtz was put on the disabled list (strained muscle near his left elbow). ... Tonight's lineup:
Nixon, RF
Loretta, 2B
Ortiz, 1B
Ramirez, LF
Varitek, C
Lowell, 3B
Pena, CF
Gonzalez, SS
Clement, P
Nine postions and nine players, just like God intended.
I think it was the spate of assorted low-scoring, one run games way in the beginning of the season, Jack. Unfortunately, people make one snap-shot observation and carry it merrily along despite evidence to the contrary.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can agree with is that the offense has been spectacularly inconsistent at times.
just like God intended.
ReplyDelete!!! And you capitalized its name and everything! You oughta be ashamed. ;-)
I'll say this: Boswell was absolutely sublime during the 2004 playoffs. Some of the best writing during those wonderful days was found in his daily columns. (He's from a family of Sox fans and clearly was relishing Boston's takedown of the MFY.)
