Hey lets have some fun.
Who wants to make book when the first reporter will ask the Miss USA winner her opinion on Gay Marriage?
Who wants to bet that the pageant organizers will forbid her to answer?
Who wants to be that if they don’t forbid her to answer she refuses comment on it?
Like I said 1919 Cincinnati Reds.
Update: Hey I never put 2+2 together. Moran Square, Pat Moran, Moran square diner. He is from my home town. The manager of the 1919 Reds. How could I ever miss that?
Here in Massachusetts today is the Patriots day holiday. When we remember the ordinary people who defeated the greatest infantry in the world and started on the path to the creation of this great nation.
For events we have the Boston Marathon, An early 11 a.m. Red Sox game and of course the re-enactments at Lexington and Concord.
I’ve actually never been as they are usually swamped and the parking is impossible but I think maybe next year or the year after I should go. It would be a shame to live a whole life around here and never see it in person.
With Maine we are the only states that celebrate the day.
…was I missed Tim Wakefield’s near no-no.
That complete game by Wakefield was just what the bullpen needed. The value of a knuckle ball pitcher who can eat innings can’t be overstated. And Wakefield has been doing this for the Sox for 15 years through two world series rings. And lets not forget his importance during the 2004 Yankees playoff series.
This article says it best:
Not only was his team reeling from its worst eight-game start in 13 years, but he had just hours earlier milked 11 innings out of his bullpen and had to put Daisuke Matsuzaka on the disabled list. The pitcher who was coming from Triple-A to take Matsuzaka’s spot was traveling all the way from Rochester, with no chance of arriving in Oakland by the start of the game.
So the Red Sox manager was somewhat heartened when Tim Wakefield stopped by his office with a message.
“He poked his head in the door, one of the few moments it was open, and he said ‘I understand my responsibility,'” Francona said. “And it wasn’t flippant. He meant it. Boy, did he ever.”
Just a few hours later, Wakefield had carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning, settling for a complete game 8-2 victory over the A’s.
This is Pete Rose class stuff without the gambling. Who would not want this man on their team?
As we see opening day break on a bleak winter we remember that wonderful year of 2004.
On this day Baseball Musings saw strong outings from both Schilling and the Bullpen as a good sign for the Sox.
Meanwhile the only Redsox story at the Baseball Crank in April was the telling of his tale of meeting Ted Williams. But that’s something always worth remembering.
