A couple of winners

The Bruins beat the Penguins last night, moving to within one point of third place in the East. It was a good win at the right time. If they can keep winning, they'll overtake the Islanders and move into third just as the regular season is winding down.

They are off tonight so I don't have to flip back-and-forth to watch them.

The Red Sox beat the Mets last night and for the first time since he became a member of the Red Sox, I saw Richards pitch like the pitcher we were told he was.

The man was picking corners and dropping batters with a slider that seemed to buckle them at the knees.

Tonight is Pivetta up against the master known as deGrom. I hope and pray that deGrom has an off night and Pivetta pitches like he usually does. If Pivetta can keep the Mets bats quiet, the Red Sox stand a chance of maybe pushing deGrom off the mound just based on pitch count. The one thing the Red Sox are good at is driving up the pitch count.

The game starts at 6:40 tonight so I should be able to stay awake to watch all nine innings.
