Great start to the nine game road trip. Both games in D.C. have featured some timely hitting and the steady bull pen doing its job. The team is on a definite roll. Good to see the road record climb above .500 Of course the Nationals have relinquished their home field advantage to the throngs of Sox fans that have invaded D.C.
Tomorrow night is the debut of John Smoltz in a Red Sox uniform. NESN has been over hyping this "event" for the past couple of weeks. While I am excited to see the man who is not Dice-K toe the rubber, I cannot help but remain realistic. Smoltz has not pitched in the majors in over a year. Let us not expect too much. I'll take five innings, two runs and then turn it over to the pen. The reason the guy signed with the Sox is to pitch in October and make us not miss Curt Schilling in those spots.
