So, DP night, and not in the porn way… Varitek’s baserunning was very, very questionable at the DP where he was caught at home, and two outs on the bases in that weird baserunning moment? You’d think Dale Sveum was back in town.
Meanwhile, Curt Schilling at 130+ pitches? And Willie Harris looked bad at that diving attempt (we’re using the guy for the defense, right? I thought Manny backed him up as best as he could)
Fortunately, the Sox were saved by one indisputable fact: Manny Ramirez knows how to hit at the Jake.
And by another fact that’s looking less in dispute: Keith Foulke is getting his groove back. Which means, whatever way it pans out, Foulke and Paps in the 8th and 9th is giving me that same sense of smooth confidence as Timlin & Foulke did back in 2004.
