Very nice win

When I went to bed in the 4th inning, the Red Sox were up 2-0. When I woke up at 4:00 this morning, I discovered that the Red Sox had beaten the Astros 14-1.

May, the guy who had such a poor showing his first time out for the Red Sox last week suddenly looked like the hero they needed. He faced 24 batters over 6 innings, giving up 5 hits, 1 walk, 0 hits and striking out 8. That is a pretty good showing.

They remain in the second wild card slot. If they win tonight, the Mariners will take over the ALWest, the Astros will take the first wild card slot and the Red Sox will be second.

The Judges have decided to not go away without a fight and they also won last night.

Buehler has the start tonight. First pitch is at 7:10.


A guy who used to work for my wife has a son who works for the New England Patriots. Last weekend was "Family Weekend" at Gillete and his son took him to the stadium.

He sent me a picture of him standing next to the new Brady statue. I cropped the picture so you can't see him or his son but left enough of them in so you can see how tall that damned thing is.


This is hurricane "Erin":

You have no idea how badly I want to add a little black circle like The Very Stable Genius did:
