Mood:
"I told David before he went to home plate, 'Finish this, man. We don't get paid overtime.' And he did it."
-Manny Ramirez on David Ortiz's game-winning 2-run HR in the 13th inning on Sunday v. the Toronto Blue Jays.
Let's not discuss overtime. After working 60 hours at NESN last week, I finally have time to update everyone on the progress of the Boston Red Sox. After losing the season opener in a frigid Camden Yards to the Orioles, the Sox went on to win to 2 more in Baltimore. Thye just finished up a 3-game series with the Blue Jays. Sunday, with Curt Schilling on the mound, they came from behind, 4-1, to win 6-4 in 13th innings. David Ortiz sent the Jays packing with a sweet 2-run bomb into the seats above the Green Monster.
Tonight, the Sox were set to face the Orioles again, but the game has been postponed due to rain. After playing 2 extra innings games in a week, the team could surely use a night off...I know I'm going to enjoy a night off.
PS - The Boston Bruins have a 2 games to 1 lead over the Montreal Canadiens. They play tonight again in Montreal. Good luck to the B's!
Peace Out!
Courtney.
