I watched the first game/ass-faced-catastrophe. For reasons abundant demoralization (actually it was also .40 cent wing night) I didn't watch the second game, but I endured the 3rd game, and who'da thunk it, the Friars take 2 out of 3 in Boston! Pop the 2-buck-chuck and heat up the rice-a-roni.
Let's break this shit down to generalizations and vague impressions:
Game 1: Harrang should have been out there. The 'pen gave up double digit runs, which will happen a couple times a decade. Trounced. It happens.
Game 2: Josh Beckett should have been out there. The newly able-listed Maybin and Hundley combine to go 3 for 6, 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored and the Pads eek out a 5-4 win behind Matty Latos.
Game 3: A gift and a mess at the same time, an 8 inning 5-1 victory. Like a three-year old drawing a picture of his father for the dad's birthday. Luckily for us John Lackey pitched like Manny Rodriguez used to hustle gifting us 2 runs on hit-by-pitches with the bases drunk and serving up a lead off jack (JACK) to Mr. Will Venable. Clayton loaded the bases in the 1st got out of it by getting Ortiz to ground out, and Richard was stellar through two rain delays and 5+ innings, and eventually the game was called due to rain.
It's hard to absorb the series win after Monday, but we did it! Great for us? I'm Ron Burgundy? For me seeing Hundley break out of his 0-for streak, seeing O-Dog back running the bases, and to have Chase stay hot where all positives. Now if we can only awaken Rizzo; I'm still keeping the faith in the Friars. Every team has to get hot sometime yeah?
