Yesterday the Red Sox lost in extra innings to the Yankees, a heartbreaking 1-3 loss. John Lackey (right) pitched a great game, going 6 shutout innings, giving 3 hits and striking out 3. David Ortiz drove in the only run of the game for them in a 1-4 night for him. He drove in Dustin Pedroia, who scored the one and only run for the Sox. Jonathan Papelbon really spoiled the game for the Sox, allowing a home run to Curtis Granderson in the 10th inning. The Red Sox just couldn't score tonight, which was a bit troubling. On Friday, the Sox play the Royals. The pitching matchup in those games will be Tim Wakefield (for the Red Sox) and Kyle Davies for the Royals. Once they are well-rested, despite being away from home, I think they will come through vs the Royals.Thursday, April 8, 2010
Lackey Lacks Nothing Except Bullpen (1-2)

It's going to be awhile before I can get over Lackey's anti-Sox whining he used to do in lala land but a couple of more outings like last night and I imagine I'll be a big fan. Bard brought the heat again.

He sure did but Paps messed up. :/
ReplyDeleteIt was a disappointing loss. But, it's a new season and I have an optimistic outlook for the Sox!
ReplyDeleteI liked what I saw in Lackey. Too bad for the loss. The series was close. Either team could be 3-0,0-3,1-2,2-1?? Hopefully they play all around better against KC!
ReplyDeleteThe lads are looking strong in the first series. I like what I see with the new kids on the block -- Lackey, Scutaro, Beltre, Cameron. Give 'em a ittle time t gel and they will be hot!
