Pawtucket WINS! 4-0 in 5 and a half. Rainout!
There was a whole two-sentence Pawtucket Red Sox report in the paper this morning. Chad Spann got a three-run homer and Jon Lester pitched two scoreless innings. Lester is a spotlight-hogger. I know that sounds callous because of his medical problems, but I'm not saying it's his fault. I'm saying that we all know what the real story is: Abe Alvarez picked up the win and even pitched better than Lester. Lester gave up a hit and Alvarez did not. Barry Hertzler picked up the save. Hertzler's Magic 8-Ball says: 'OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD'.
So far, I cannot really root for Chad Spann. He is like a kitten hiding in a laundry hamper. No, strike that: he is boring. I'll have to talk to him and see what's going on.
In other news, I'll be having lunch with Jim Rice in a couple of weeks. He is the special guest at the PawSox luncheon. It's gonna be great, I think.
Let's be careful out there today.

i hate it that i like your blog. because i hate other females who talk about sports. yet, i like your blog. it comes up every so often when my "abe alvarez" google alerts find it.
that said, we should do a foreign exchange program. if you ever want to make it up here to Lowell, I'll be happy to take you to a game. (i live across the street from the ballpark) if you'll go to a pawsox game with me if i drag my tired and huddled mass down to Pawtucket (and partake in my pre-game ritual of a scorpion bowl at that tacky little chinese place across from McCoy)
i just wanted to write something encouraging, because you're smart. and quote Baby Boy.
Wow, thanks! What a nice lady!
I've never been to Lowell. It is harder to get Spinners tickets than Red Sox tickets.
Come to Pawtucket any time. I will annihilate a scorpion bowl.
