Well, the LA idiots were out in San Diego this weekend cheering on the cheater, quitter and old man pusher Manny Ramirez. It amazes me what has become of our society. An athlete can basically do anything they want, and as long as they excel at their sport, they will be cheered like a hero. The fact is Manny Ramirez doesn't give a crap about anyone in LA and he's a horrible role model. Every fan that cheered for him this weekend is an idiot, plain and simple. I also believe this is true for any Boston fan that cheered for him after he quit on the team.
Now to real baseball news. The Sox had a disappointing weekend losing two tough games on Friday and Saturday. What has been the Pigpen of late, saw Ramirez blow Friday's game in extra innings and Saito walk the ballpark on Saturday. It seems like ever since Ramirez complained about the error in Seattle, he's been hittable. And watching Saito walk the ballpark while Bard was warming up was especially tough. The pen is still the best in baseball so look to them to bounce back.
Fortunately, the Sox had a nice come from behind win on Sunday beating Seattle 8-4. Papi, Ellsbury and Pedroia all hit solo home runs and had 5 rbi between the three.
Lester's outing was similar to many we've seen this year. His line went 6.2 innings pitched, 4 runs 1 earned, 8 hits, 3 walks, 9ks. Masterson and Okie finished it with 2 1/3 innings of scoreless ball.
Next up is Oakland tomorrow night at 7:10 Fenway Park. Smoltz (0-1 6.00 era) vs Andersen (4-7 5.45 era)
Our Prediction: Sox sweep the series!
