Sox 0, Mariners 3: Stymied
Being made to look bad by Ted Lilly and Jamie Moyer is one thing. The Sox having traditional lefty issues and all that. But righty Joel Pineiro? Ick. As usual, the Sox had a pitcher on the ropes and couldn't close the deal. Manny with a slow start to the season. You know how after all the drama of the offseason it was like a new Manny came into spring training? More buff than ever, with a good attitude? Well, screw that. I want spacey, "Manny Being Manny", loveshittingmoonshotslikeafatkidlovescakes Manny back.
Tim Wakefield, unfortunately, seems to be master of the innings-eating complete game loss. At least my sense of schadenfreude was fulfilled this morning by seeing the Twins come back against Mariano Rivera.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez, Stern, and Cora at the 9-1-2 in the order? Hell, Wakefield was drafted as a position player - why not let him bat at this rate?

Still...you gotta like the "I want a Gold Glove" Manny. I think he's made at least one impressive play in about half the games and he's yet to do anything really stupid yet (*crosses fingers*).
He tagged that ball in the 8th. Too bad they got a glove on it, or it would've been another run. I admit I keep waiting for him to hit that first dang home run every time he comes up.

The Union Leader in Manchester, NH had a headline the other day...
Manny Being Bellhorn
anyway, he'll bounce out of his funk in a BIG way very soon.

devine - yeah, I'll give that credit - he's playing the wall really well, I think.
travis - if Manny was being Bellhorn, he would be due for a good year, this being an even-numbered year :)
