It's about time to take a Missing Persons ad out for Commander Kick-Ass. The Imposter was on the mound again last night and he was baking some delicious cookies for the Yanks, tossing them out over the plate through eight innings as if to say "Snack time, boys!" The only thing missing was the milk.
Sabathia, on the other hand, wasn't lights out either, but he didn't have to be while his teammates were gobbling up the cookies and sending them flying out of the park. The only bright spot in that game was my mute button, so I didn't have to listen to the Yankee rah-rah spewing out of the mouths of Miller and Morgan.
Saturday's game was far more pleasant to watch, with the Sox hammering A.J. Burnett & Co. to the tune of 14 runs while Japanese rookie Junichi Tazawa spins 6 scoreless frames, escaping jams in a way his hero Dice-K would be proud of (while being a little less maddening to watch in the process). His dazzling performance bumped rapidly-declining Brad, the author of Friday night's debacle, to the bullpenny with Wake taking his spot in the rotation on Wednesday.
Tazawa's start was encouraging, especially after last Sunday's loss in Texas. Buchholz, who has put together a string of encouraging starts himself, toes the rubber tonight against favorite Red Sox pinata Jose Contreras. Sox-on-Sox action this week. May the best (*Red*) Sox win!
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
