Yanks go for their second win of this key four-game series. It will NOT be as easy as their first. I'd personally like to thank the Red S*x for waiting a day too long to designate John Smoltz for assignment. Ironic he got shelled like that -- perhaps for the final time -- in front of Muhammad Ali. This fight was like Ali-Holmes '80, except that Smoltz will not be left punch-drunk.
But someone might. Let's see if any bad blood remains from last night's plunking of Dustin Gaedel Pedroia by Mark Melancon. This did not appear to be a big topic of discussion in the blogosphere today, and it was not given prominent ink in the papers I read. Doesn't mean it's not a big deal. We'll find out. Damn, it'll be fun.
As for me -- MUCH better pre-game warmup routine. Went for a nice long run along the Charles, then came back, had some water with a splash of cran and lime wedges -- used to be my favorite non-alcoholic drink when I was bartending, and got back on the grill. The coals lighted on the second try instead of the third, and tonight's turkey burgers have a nice golden crust on them. Last night's were charred like David Koresh.
Anyway, first pitch in about five minutes. Time to click on NESN and hit "pause."
