It seemed kind of grim on opening day, the Red Sox looked like they had spent the spring training time signing autographs and appearing on TV talk shows instead of brushing up on their baseball skills and were routed.
In yesterday’s game they showed a bit of spark by not just rolling over in the end, but tying the game in the top of the ninth. Unfortunately it was only to be swatted back down by a walk-off homer in the bottom of the inning. A battle of the team Captains and Boston’s lost.
Today’s game showed more of what they had going on at the end of last year. A see-saw battle down to the ninth inning, but this time instead of just a solo homer against the Yankee closer like Tuesday, they sent 8 guys to the plate and beat up Mariano Rivera with 5 runs. Now they will play three in Boston starting Monday, if it goes according to past history Boston will win two and NY one so the season series will be tied at three games apiece.
This is going to be fun. (But being a long time Boston Red Sox fan I still can’t get to upbeat for fear of jinxing them. 🙂 )
