Helluva Duel — Sad Ending
It was a shame how last night’s game ended. I had a feeling that it was going to come to an end like that; where the score will not reflect the reality of the competition.
Schilling was defining — it would appear he’s figured a different way of pitching aside from the blowout strikeout method that’s been his career thus far.
Santana was Santana. Enough said.
For once, Francona didn’t leave a pitcher in there too long. That, I would have to say, is probably Tito’s weakest aspect of managing. Time and time again he’s gone with hurlers a bit too long and it’s cost the team. I don’t knock Tito for the Taverez home run, but maybe Theo shouldn’t have signed him to a 2 year deal 
I think what’s really encouraging is that we should really start to see the younger guys begin to step up. It will be an early test to the farm system and the talent that is “supposedly” coming up.
