Wow, for the first two innings I was worried about Josh Beckett… but looks like he’s back in business. I have to say, despite Okajima’s work yesterday, I’m still scared of seeing A-Rod on deck these days. Good thing Papelbon got the save as he did.
Incidentally, Buster Olney has an interview with David Ortiz for ESPN Insider subscribers. It does sound like his friendship with Kevin Millar was a good one: “Kevin does a great job of keeping all the guys in the clubhouse relaxed. He has so many funny jokes … Man it’s hard just to pick one, there were so many. Overall, Kevin was a great teammate, I really miss that guy.”
