The hits keep comin'

I had to work a lot later than usual today so I'll try to keep this blog less angry than it should be.  Could be tough considering I'm blogging from the orange line.

Missed the beginning of the game last night meeting with our new dog walker.  The pup can't seem to kick her rock eating habit and last week got really sick, so daycare is done and it's on to try a dog walker.  Fingers crossed.

As far as the game itself I agree with Dave O'Brien's description of it as a "tidy" victory.  The Price was fine, the team HR streak came to an end but the JBJ and X hitting streaks did not.  They won.  That's all that really matters.  Agree with Mut who said he thought the game was a little lopsided for Koji in the 8th.  Farrell burning out Koji and Tazawa has gotta rank near the top of the concern list, especially now with Carson Smith gone for the year.  I liked Matt Barnes' 9th inning a lot.  Maybe he's emerging as a guy to use in high leverage situations?  Let's hope so. 

My only other complaint is with NESN. Why are they subjecting us to Steve Lyons during an otherwise very enjoyable year so far?  What did we do to deserve that?
