Playing an hour early again so everyone could see the refs try to tie up the Lakers series against the Celtics, the Red Sox crushed the Orioles, 9-2. Jon Lester had a good start backed by a Mike Lowell grand slam (second of the season) and homers by J.D. Drew and Kevin Youkilis. Hopefully the pitchers were paying attention because they have to hit now, as the Sox visit the Reds before coming to Philly.
(Speaking of which, Jimmy Buffett is playing at Citizens Bank Park this weekend. He's in big trouble if he damages the field and one of my players gets hurt.)
Speaking of old guys who should be on the beach, the incredible Jamie Moyer (is he on steroids or Viagra?) gave up only two hits and a walk in eight innings as the Phillies beat the Marlins 3-0, averting a sweep. {He's on neither. Phillies don't have to cheat to win.}
Sox-Phils interleague history, 2004: In the championship season, the Red Sox took two of three in Boston. We didn't go to any of the games, but I remember that it seemed as if Philadelphians took over Fenway. Behind a good Pedro Martinez outing, the Sox trampled the Phillies and Paul Abbott 12-1. Then, I can't remember why, but Randy Wolf was pulled after four innings in the second game. Ryan Madson got the win in relief, 9-2 over Bronson Arroyo. The Sox put up another dozen in the last game, as Curt Schilling beat young Brett Myers 12-3.
