More time to digest this morning / last night’s game: Pedro seems to have found a way to get rid of his cold-weather blues. Now, whether those blues are a physical thing, an annoyance that affects his mental game, or just a convenient excuse is a subject of further study. And a Manny ball lands in Lansdowne again. Man, someday some driver on the Turnpike is going to get a ball through his or her windscreen. I can see why they call his homers moon shots - one smooth swing for Manny, one giant leap for Manny’s kind.
Speaking of ol’ 45, he of the Naked Rally Laps, I dug up this old pic of one of my favourite Sox moments.
Ah, one thing I’ve always liked about Pedro is that when he’s not pitching he seems like a great goofball.
