it was a good game until the ninth

I really don't even know where to being to dissect this game. Joba was pretty bad, but managed to get enough double plays to get through six relatively safe. coke and albaladejo are always pretty good, bruney wasn't even in the ballpark, and somehow mariano turns into a different pitcher if he has to pitch to more than three batters. and fuck damaso marte, i was asleep when he came in and gave the game to youkilis. marte is the biggest bust. great in pittsburg does not equal great in new york... as for the offense: how many bases loaded no out situations can a team blow? the red sox are not the royals, the red sox play all nine innings, you have to put them away... and i'm not sure who they'll put at third base today, maybe just a scarecrow with a mitt tied to it, just as good as ransom ever was. at least today's game should be pretty sweet. i need to find a portable radio so i can listen out back while i am doing some lawn work, or just laying around, it's 85 fucking degrees outside. wednesday morning it was 35 and snowing/ friday evening it was 80 and thunderstorming/ you have got to love that. and burnett v. becket will hopefully be epic!!!

*** and wang goes on the dl. someone get mussina on the phone, mussina can explain what it's like to completely forget how to pitch, i watched him do it three seasons in a row... if hughes is any good, we might never see wang again, which is unfortunate, he is a great pitcher and i refuse to believe that three bad starts is the end of his career. so that makes wang, ransom, nady, and possibly bruney, all joining arod on the dl. that happened pretty fucking quick...
