Papi is probably int. walked or gets a chance to get a sac fly or maybe a hit and score coco from second. If bases are loaded you still have the sac fly. Instead Papi on first...I was screaming at the TV, but hindsight is 20/10...David Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847923057333798936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-75965643841150588482008-10-21T11:35:00.000-04:002008-10-21T11:35:00.000-04:00It does feel good, and I hope this is a confidence...It does feel good, and I hope this is a confidence builder (the D needs the boost). But I hope the offense doesn't think they can let up because they suddenly looked potent - I mean it was against one of the worst D's in the league.<BR/><BR/>I am cautiously optimistic.<BR/><BR/>Gonna blog shortly about some of the unexpected contributions.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-60219412115991683172008-10-21T11:10:00.000-04:002008-10-21T11:10:00.000-04:00It's feels great to be wrong about the Pats, doesn...It's feels great to be wrong about the Pats, doesn't it?

Not Ortiz. Not even Youk. Dusty hit three homers in the series. Would you really take the bat out of the hands of your best hitter?<BR/><BR/>Honestly, a bunt never entered my mind there. Not from Pedroia. If Kotsay, Ellsbury, or even Varitek were up there, yeah, lay it down. But not someone who's driving the ball. But that's just me.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-30765131566449296772008-10-20T17:34:00.000-04:002008-10-20T17:34:00.000-04:00Go Pats...why wasn't Dusty bunting in the 8th?

The Rays deserved it, in the end, so congratulations to them.<BR/><BR/>You'll like my piece today - about a chance encounter with Yoooooook last week.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
