A Very Short Story

Game 80 - Red Sox
Red Sox 5, Diamondbacks 4
Record: 48-32

Well, well, well, the tone of this post certainly changed dramatically in about 5 minutes. When I came home from a meeting to see the Sox down 4-1 against the immortal Doug Davis, the draft language here was, shall we say, overseasoned.

And then, baseball delivered. 3 consecutive 2-out hits turned a fizzling 8th-inning rally into a come-from-behind win, with the final blow administered by the dreadfully slumping Jason Varitek. All told, the Sox batted around in the inning, plating 4 runs to take the lead. When Jonathan Papelbon hushed the irrational whisperings of concern regarding his recent performances, all was well in my neighborhood.

I took in only a few innings before turning in.

Did I ever mention I hate interleague play?
