Wakefield gave the team a huge lift after back to back discouraging losses. After his last performance fans had to be wondering if Wakefield had lost it. Wakefield continues to amaze.
Six games left with Toronto, who is on fire, and three versus the Rays. Best record in the league is still within reach but seems unlikely. I like the fact that the team is trying to win the division (and a match up with the White Sox).
BTW ....
- The pick ups of Byrd and Kotsay have been huge. The Sox lost nothing except low level prospects fro each and some cash. Byrd just seems to keep the team in the game long enough for the bullpen to take over. Kotsay has played more than even he thought. Don't expect either to be with the team next year.
- Timlin is done. He has been great in the past but we must put a fork in him, done. He shouldn't be on the postseason roster.
- Saw Brian Daubach at the game on Tuesday. He was in the standing room only section I was in. WEEI's box must have been crowded. Dauber just blended in. So much for one of the original Boston Dirt Dawgs
- Whatever happened to Doug Mirabelli? Surprised no team picked him up. That's a joke people. We gave up Josh Bard and Cla Meredith for him to catch a knuckle ball every fifth day. Sounds like a Tek and Lowe for Heathcliff deal to me.
- Great line from ESPN's Around the Horn - Manny loves L.A. He gets to show up in the third and leave by the seventh.
- Playoff rotation -- Beckett, Lester, Dice K, Byrd. Wakefield makes the roster as insurance and a long relief guy. Make sure Tek catches him beforehand. Remember 2004, Game 5 vs Yankess at Fenway?
- Is Tom Brady really the face of the NFL? Is the league going to redo the logo to put his likeness on it? Sort of like Jerry West and the NBA. My vote is for Ray Lewis' imagine during pregame intros to go on the logo. That represents the NFL more than Giselle's boyfriend and that actress' baby's daddy.
