The fans who sat through a steady rain were focused on the TV booth instead of the field. The slap-happy crowd cheered as announcer Jerry Remy held his Wally the Green Monster doll out of the booth.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />By the seventh, it had the feel of a spring game in Fort Myers, Fla. The Red Sox sent in a wave of reinforcements, with five position changes. Among them: DH Scott Hatteberg moving to catcher, which placed the pitcher in the batting order."Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-65520350756190510052016-07-09T19:15:04.842-07:002016-07-09T19:15:04.842-07:00Hmm, it was TOR 14-2 at one point, then the Sox ca...Hmm, it was TOR 14-2 at one point, then the Sox came back a bit and lost 14-9. Maybe this was the game after all. Here's the <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS199909220.shtml" rel="nofollow">box</a>. September 22, 1999. I was sure there was a rain delay, though. But that info in the box could be wrong, I suppose. The Sox made a lot of substitutions in the 7th, losing the DH (?).allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-47193238118026883442016-07-09T19:07:12.944-07:002016-07-09T19:07:12.944-07:00Great that you saw a win!

I looked through the schedule and the worst home loss to TOR that season was 14-9 and no rain. On a Wednesday. That can't be it, can it?allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-23403912289585923192016-07-09T18:02:15.323-07:002016-07-09T18:02:15.323-07:00At the game with Liz, nice win.

He will undergo surgery to repair cartilage in the knee on Monday and is expected to miss 3-6 weeks.<br /><br />Looks like Koji Uehara and Brad Ziegler will share the closer role for now.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
