Tigers highlight: One run

My Comment: The Red Sox and the Tigers had a duel of pitchers today and, unfortunately, Detroit won. Not the way I expected the teeam to start the ALCS, but there are six games to go and it may turn out to be a long series. Boston can split the the first homestand with a win tomorrow. Let's get some hits!

My Comment: Rain delay at the end of the seventh inning in the game between the Red Sox and the Athletics came too late as far as Boston is concerned. Too bad the game hadn't simply been postponed before it even began. Definitely the worse loss for the team this season and one in which they were shutout. Why Aceves is being allowed to start when he was not consistently effective as a closer, does not make sense to me. Problems with fielding, balking and walking all in one inning is just the equation for disaster. Let's hope that Lester can keep his game together tomorrow and the Red Sox can salvage a series win.

My Comment: Love the hitting and homerun game the Red Sox demonstrated today! And the shutout payback was just a extra bonus in a suberb Boston win. Great combination of power and pitching that sends the Red Sox to Fenway with a winning road record to start the season for the first time in two years. Wish I was on the plane with the team on their way back to Boston - lots of happy people on that flight! Tomorrow is Boston's home opener and coming off a win like today is a wonderful emotional state to play the game against the Baltimore Orioles. Over this Toronto series, Boston averaged 6.33 runs and 9.66 hits per game. And, by the way, the Red Sox are in first place all alone. Yeah!!
