Pretty depressing loss for the Sox tonight. Lackey was studly, the Yanks did what they could to increase his pitch count, but he deserved to get the W in his first Boston start.
I've promised myself not to freak out as much this year when it comes to the Sox. With that in mind, I'll turn towards a great night at Jerry Remy's Sports Bar. For those of you who don't know where it is, it's behind Fenway Park at 1265 Bolyston street. It has a great beer selection, more TV's than you can look at, an open air feel with a commanding view of Fenway Park, decent food options, and great service. The opinion was shared by all of my buddies in attendance. It's safe to say we'll be headed back there multiple times this season.
Other quick takeaways before I crash....
-Lackey has never been a strike out pitcher, but, in my opinion, he could stand to attack the strike zone a bit more (this after one start's worth of review...)
-No matter what he says, it's likely that Lackey will never come off as an intelligent person (see George Bush's Southern Syndrome).
-I still don't understand how Andy Pettitte's arm is still attached to his shoulder, especially when you consider the amount of HGH he was using (people like to forget that fact...much like Ortiz).
-Ortiz got a RBI single tonight....in his mind, I'm sure that buys him 3 more weeks of mediocre stats.
-I hate that Curtis Granderson is on my fantasy team right now.
-I'm not worried about Papelbon. I swear.
....I think.
-Anyone else think that timely hitting is going to be more important than ever this year?
-Did Chan Ho Park really just limit the Sox to one hit over three innings? Chan Ho Park? Too bad we didn't have Cal Ripken Jr at the plate tonight.
-D Bard is filthy..how long before the nut bags start calling for him to close games?
-The Sox may be 1-2 after starts by Beckett, Lester and Lackey, but I somehow feel better about them now than I did at the beginning of the season.
Another off day tomorrow? What's this about?? Don't they know I need consistency in my life?

It says you posted this last night, and it's mostly coherent. Seems to indicate you kept control of yourself.
Surprising, yet impressive.
Damn straight, that's called dedication!
...and we'll call it "somewhat controlled".
"somewhat" and "impressive"
ITM-Vicino couldn't BBM straight at 10:30 yet deligently writes a solid post after the game - I think his wife was typing for him. Non the less - dedicated, the sponsers are taking note. Its game time
