I made 20 Post-Game comments before Game 2 started last night. Let’s see how they panned out:
1. Schilling’s line wasn’t bad…4 earned runs over 5 and 2/3 innings. - try 5 and 1/3 innings and only 1 earned run.
2. Who would have thought Brad Hawpe and Willy Tavares would combine for more hits than Kevin Youkilis and Manny Ramirez? - i was close. both tandems combined for 1 hit.
3. Manny’s helmet flew off his head again. Dude needs to switch to a L from that XL. - yeah, no surprise here. As he went first to third on Mike Lowell’s RBI double in the 5th, Manny lost his hat again.
4. Thank you Willy Tavares for earning me a free taco on October 30th with that stolen base in the 6th inning. - What i meant to say was, “Thank You Jacoby Ellsbury for getting me a taco with that SB in the 4th inning.”
5. Ubaldo Jimenez was throwing some laser beams, hitting 100 MPH on the gun more than once. - He was hitting the mid 90s consistently, but I didn’t see anything above 98 MPH.
6. Boston outhit Colorado for the second straight game. - barely, though. 6 hits for Boston, 5 for Colorado.
7. Jiminez not only struck out more batters than Schilling, he also walked less. Nice outing for the rookie. - Um, wrong and wrong. Ubaldo struck out 2 and walked 5. Schilling struck out 4 and walked 2.
8. That catch by Ellsbury was amazing. - No it wasnt. He did only have one catch, but it was routine.
9. The Red Sox laid down more bunts than the Rockies tonight. - Actually, i think it was 1 each. could be wrong about that one though.
10. Ellsbury stealing third caught everyone off guard…including me. - It caught Ellsbury off guard too, because he didn’t do it.
11. Big Papi’s home run almost landed in Colorado. - The one from batting practice. I guess i should have specified that.
12. Manny wasn’t really hustling on that play. - this one was true the moment i typed it. No references needed.
13. I never thought I’d see that day that Manny Corpas would walk out of the bullpen with no pants on. - and i still haven’t, thankfully.
14. Papelbon struck out more batters than he left on base. - 2 Ks and 0 LOB thanks to the pickoff that no one saw coming.
15. Can you believe John Kerry streaked naked onto the field like that? - funny thing was, first he ran out there, then he came back to his seat, then he ran out there again. Poor guy just couldn’t make up his mind.
16.Matt Holliday busted for using a corked bat? Who would have thought. - dude went 4-4, but i just missed this one. The bat WAS corked, he just didn’t get busted for it. (i kid, of course).
17. J.D. Drew’s Strikeouts + Mike Lowell’s Walks = Torrealba’s base hits + Helton’s doubles - Lowell’s lone walk was the only non-zero in this equation. 1 = 0? not today it doesn’t.
18. Varitek hit for the cycle! amazing! - Only if we redefine “the cycle” as: Strike out looking, strike out swinging, fly out to Left Field, and a Sac fly to Center.
19. Garret Atkins should be suspended for all of next year for tripping Pedroia as he rounded third. He should be suspended for 5 years after that for pulling out a tazer and tazing Dustin multiple times in the small of his back. - Don’t taze me bro!
20. The team with the most runs won the game. - I hit this one right on the head! When you’re good, you’re good.
If I’m feeling Nostradamic this weekend, maybe we’ll do this for Game 3 or 4.
