So Radke the control freak (8 Ks, 1 BB today) got to the Sox. Oh well. The Sox always do seem to have trouble with pitchers who can paint the corners and put the ball exactly where they want. Worst shutout loss this season I think, but it just counts as 1 in the loss column. Ooh, I’m full of cliches today.
Lew Ford was spectacular against his former team. Sometimes it’s funny to remember the Sox traded him for Hector Carrasco. Admittedly, his season has been disappointing enough that I’ve knocked him off one of my fantasy teams, but wow, his defense in centre was Torii Hunter-esque…
Speaking of which, my big memory of Torii Hunter was sitting in the centrefield bleachers in my first-ever visit to Fenway Park in a game against the Twins behind these drunk guys who just kept going “Torii… Torii… you suck”.
