Wow, Francona let Papelbon pitch the 9th in a 2-1 game. I'm shocked. I figured he'd let Foulke blow 4 or 5 saves before giving Papelbon a chance. I have to say that I'm very happy that Francona made the right move last night.
Beckett started somewhat slowly; he was dancing out of trouble for the first few innings. He seemed to settle down, though, and did retire 12 of the last 13 he faced. He and Schilling are going to be fun to watch this year. I really hope they both push each other to another plane of greatness.
I love hearing the home crowd chant, "Let's go Red Sox!", *clap*, *clap*, *clap*clap*clap* when the Sox are on the road. I heard that during the 2nd and 3rd games of the opening series. I meant to mention that yesterday.
My lovely wife and I bought a dual-reclining over-stuffed loveseat on Tuesday. It arrived today. I'm going to now go and enjoy some HD coverage of the Masters in total comfort. *Homer Simpson drool...*
