Not much going on in the standings, as the main rivals - MFYs, As, Texas - all won today. But Arroyo looked sharp again, with 8Ks. He’s moved to 13th in ERA in the AL. Seems unfair that even with today’s win his record is still only 7-9. Lots of scoring styles on show today: power in Ortiz’s double and small ball in Roberts’ bunt and Damon moving the runners leading to Mirabelli scoring, even making lemons out of lemonade in Millar’s run-scoring double play. Mmm, mmm, good. One loves that dirty water, one does.
Speaking of Sox songs, does anyone have the lyrics to the Sox version of Terry Cashman’s “Talking Baseball”? I looked online and could only find the Detroit Tigers’ version.
