Nice pitchin', Wake! I never liked pitching in the rain because the ball always felt like it weighed 5 pounds. I guess a knuckleball is waterproof though based upon last night's results.
With Hurricane Ike beginning to batter the coastal area of Galveston, Texas (God bless to all in its path) the Red Sox had their own Hurricane Wake who beat up on the Toronto lineup for a 7-0 win. He made a hot team, hitting over .300 in September, look pathetic with their swings last night. It was just the performance the Sox needed to start this series.
Jed Lowrie continues to make John Henry & Co. forget the name of Julio Lugo. Lowrie is just another in a long line of minor leaguers coming to the big team & performing at a high level. Jed is closing in on 50 RBI in just half a season & plays great "D" at SS or 3B.
So far my prediction for this series is right on. I thought the Sox would take Game 1. The pitching match-ups on Saturday do not favor the Sox, so I'm hoping for a split. I anticipate Jon Lester outdueling Roy Halladay in the series finale.
Let's see if my crystal ball is accurate.
