Pivetta was okay. Not great but good enough to hold off the Mariners through four innings. The Red Sox took a four run lead in the first inning but Pivetta gave up four earned runs in the fourth, tieing the game.
Pivetta came back out in the fifth and took care of the Mariners. The Red Sox hitters managed to drive three runs in, giving Pivetta a lead after five. He came out and face one batter in the sixth before being pulled with one out.
The bullpen did a great job and the hitters kept scoring runs. The game ended with the Red Sox winning 9-4.
They have one more game against the Mariners tonight and tomorrow they head off on a two week trip to the west coast where they will play three games against the Padres, three games against the Angles and three games against the Diamondbacks
They still need to dig themselves out of last place in the ALEast but I'll take wins when they get them.
In hockey news, the conference finals are set and the games start tomorrow night:
The first game is tomorrow night when the Panthers will play the Hurricanes. On Friday night, the Stars will play the Golden Knights.
The winners of each of those best-of-seven series will play each other in the Stanley Cup finals.
I will never understand the Bruins collapse in round one...
The US Supreme Court turned down a request by a gun rights group in Illinois to overturn a state law banning "assault-style weapons".
Two things to say about that:
- What the hell are "assault-style" weapons? That is the most non-descript description ever. Anything can be an assault weapon.
- The US Supreme Court made it clear that the states have jurisdiction over their domains when they overturned Roe v Wade.
The Illinois state laws do not ban firearms, they ban what I assume are semi-automatic rapid fire Armalite-style rifles. And for the record, the "AR" in AR-15 stands for Armalite Rifle, not assault rifle.
The republicans may soon regret stacking the deck because those judges don't seem to me like they are lap dogs for the republican party.
Here are some links you can enjoy while I watch baseball:
- They are also all on my nuisance kill list.
- Surfing Gator would be a fantastic name for a 1970s song by Jerry Reed featuring the Beach Boys.
- I call bullshit. Absolutely no one I know does this.
- Apparently he was not only drunk, he was also wearing a lego head.
- The Yankees are always very quick to accuse other teams of cheating when in reality they cheat all the time.
- He's going to jail over some used pants and shirts.
