Okay, those of you who had David Wells throwing 7 shutout innings, raise your hands? Any takers? I thought not. One good sign was that Wells wasn’t walking anyone, which is his signature style. Unlike Nomo, which is sad - I always have fond memories of the Nomo No-No for the Sox and his complete game against Baltimore. Oh well. It was like a Sox reunion, what with Fossum coming on in relief of Nomo.
And I like that the Sox have been busting out with men on base over the last two games, Ortiz’s grand slam being the highlight today.
Lots of good pitching performances in the major leagues today - Aaron Heilman (!) threw a one-hitter and Suppan and Sheets had a good old-fashioned pitchers’ duel. And of course, speaking of Sox alumni, congrats to Derek Lowe on his 3-hit shutout. Funny to see him with the “B” on the cap again - even if it was for Brooklyn…
