Yesterday afternoon’s game was filled with some great “stoopit” trivia stuff. As pointed out by Boston.com:
- Kevin Youkilis has broken the record for consecutive games without an error by a first baseman (194)
- Jon Lester is the first left-handed Sox starter to record a win in Oakland since 1995.
- Terry Francona still misses chew. (Yes, I made that one up, but I guarantee you he does.)
It’s not a bad thing to take care of Oakland, regardless of their 1 and 2 starters. They needed to walk out of there with the series win and give the fans a nice start to the season.
With J. D. Drew starting last night, the team finally felt a little like normal, I suppose. Tomorrow night, Tim Wakefield gets the start in Toronto’s home opener and Kevin Cash will begin the campaign to prove he’s not Mirabelli.
First homers for Papi and ‘Tek felt good as well. Nice to see it starting to become a “regular” season.
