When you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today you’re so low
- Alabama 3, “Woke Up This Morning”
You gotta know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em… clearly Lilly was superior yesterday, and it didn’t matter that Pedro was himself throwing a quality start. That breaking ball was nasty, nasty, nasty - seemed to dive into the strike zone. No shame in losing last night. Time to start another winning streak. And time to hope Lilly repeats the performance in his next start, against the Yankees. Unfortunately, my sense of post-CG games is that they tend to be underwhelming. Oh well, the Sox just need to take care of business on their own end and everything should work out.
