I really hate it when we play on the west coast. The games don't get over until after midnight and it forces me to take an afternoon nap in just to get to see the entire game.
We won 5-3 on Monday on the pitching of Bartolo Colon. He is really looking good. I was afraid he was going to be another Gagne but he has really pitched well. The game was 1-1 in the 8th until Pedroia hit a ground rule double with two outs. We scored 4 runs that inning and needed every one of them as Paps came in in the 9th and allowed two unearned runs.
On Tuesday, Manny hit number 499 and was our only scoring of the game. We lost 4-3 as Timlin allowed one run in the bottom of the ninth to take the loss. It looks like DiceK is hurt and he may miss a start or two with shoulder fatigue.
On Wednesday, now the third night without any sleep, I had to endure an excellent pitching performance by Wakefield only to take the loss 1-0. We were completely shut down by Bedard who went 7 innings of 2 hit ball and struck out 8. Wakefield went the complete game, gave up only 5 hits and struck out 8 himself. We had no offense at all and really never got anything going on the bases. We will have to wait for Manny to hit number 500.... maybe in Baltimore.
Now back to the East coast where the games are played at regular times and I can get some sleep!
