Final Score
Phillies 3
Red Sox 5
Tell Me You’re Not Surprised: It’s not like we haven’t come to expect such things of David Ortiz anyway. But combine a 10th inning at bat for Big Papi with Tom Gordon on the mound, and I’m sure more than a few of the Fenway Faithful were gathering their belongings and had the car keys firmly in hand.
Other than that, not much else to say about Mr. Ortiz…he may never win an MVP award because of his DH status, but he’ll continue to be the most feared hitter in the game during the late innings…Curt Schilling was great again, showing he knows how to pitch. That’s what I was talking about earlier in the year when I mentioned how some guys survive even when off to a bad start or struggling…Hope Mark Loretta isn’t hurt too badly. He’s really starting to tear the cover off the ball…and Jonathan Papelbon displayed a new trick yesterday, shutting the Phillies down for 2 1/3 innings. Is there anything this kid can’t do right now?
