I was thinking about what a great season that the Sox have had thus far. It’s only been a month and yet these guys have already put together some amazing stuff that would make one hell of a highlight reel. If I knew anything about making such a reel, here are the highlights that I would include (in no particular order)
-Jonathan Van Evry’s catch against Cleveland, followed by Van Evry’s game winning homer.
-Jacoby Ellsbury stealing home against the Yanks.
-Dustin Pedroia’s homer in the Red Sox opener.
-Tim Wakefield almost throwing a no hitter
-Kevin Youkilis homering to beat the Yanks in extras
-Jason Varitek’s grand slam against the Yanks
-Boston coming back from a 7 run deficit against the Os
-The Sox scoring 12 runs in the same inning against Cleveland
And all that happened in just one month. God I love this game.
Those are just some of the highlights that stick out in my mind from games I’ve seen or read about the next day. What would you add to the list?
Keep the Faith.
