This year, Tim Wakefield (right) has a great record, at 4-2, the bad part is, both losses have come against the Angels. Last night, they lost 8-4 against them, with Wakefield at the helm. The good news is: Daniel Bard had his MLB debut last night, which despite the loss, was a bright spot. Tomorrow, Brad Penny is pitching at 3:35 ET against last year's breakout Ervin Santana (who is 0-0 this year). Santana was 16-7 last year and finished 9th in the Cy Young voting! Penny has come very close in many seasons including 2007. I think Wakefield will get back on track after he has finished with the Angels, and I hope Penny can do what he did last time agianst the Angels!Thursday, May 14, 2009

Wakefield has been a great asset this year -- to my surprise. It's amazing to watch him lob those leisurely balls over the plate and see batters scratching their heads about how to hit them. But the Angels are a tough team, as they have been for years. Fingers crossed about today's game!
ReplyDeleteThe Angels can be touch, but the Sox are even better!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the sox get a win and some long balls against Seattle last night. Starting pitching and men left on base has been a problem, but Beckett pitched well enough to get the W!! Hopefully Masterson can get it done today because the Rays and Yanks are not far behind.
