They won last night.

I watched the Red Sox beat the Diamondbacks 2-1 last night.

I thought Whitlock had a pretty good outing for his first one in more than a month, going five innings, giving up one earned run and striking out four. What was even nicer was that the bullpen held its own over the remaining four innings giving up no runs.

One play that I really liked was their second scoring play of the game. It was in the fourth inning, Casas was on third, Hernandez was on second and Reyes was on first. McGuire came up, swung & missed at the first pitch, got back into his stance and proceeded to lay down a beautiful sacrifice bunt between the pitcher & the first base line. That moved the base runners along, scoring Casas and giving the Red Sox the lead.

Todays game started around 4:15 this afternoon and it's currently in the fourth inning. Houck is on the mound and so far he seems to be struggling. The Diamondbacks are up 4-0. Hopefully that improves for the Red Sox as the game goes on.

Looks like Goofy Joe and Krazy Kevin have worked out a debt limit deal. Problem I foresee is someone idiot on either side of the aisle refusing to vote for it unless he/she gets something they want.

I guess we'll see what happens over the next few days because as far as I know, the deal has to be sealed before June 5^th. There are a lot of ego's at play in the Capital building and some of them would love to watch the world burn rather than see someone else get something

Look like another "friend" of Psycho Vlad has taken ill.

Hey, at least he didn't "accidentally" fall out of a seventh story window like the last five or six "friends" of Psycho Vlad.

I'm going to toss some burgers on the grill and watch the rest of this ball game.
