Nomah!!!!!
I really like the fact that the Red Sox have been able to patch up the whole Nomar thing. The way things ended in 2004 always left a bad taste in my mouth, not just because of the trade, but mostly because of the connections people tried to draw between his departure and the eventual World Championship that year. Sure I've heard all kinds of stuff about how he was difficult and hornery, but he was a hell of a player for them for many years and I always felt like he got the shaft after he left, so good for him.
As for the game today, another positive step forward with a prototypical game that had good pitching and defense and enough offense to get a W. And of course it was heartening to see Papi's line for the night with a couple of hits, including an opposite field home run. His home run was about the only good news I had on my drive home, as 405 was a parking lot and even the surface roads were abysmal, so my usually 15min drive. Good thing I have a smartphone now so I can get scores when I'm stuck, since it's either that or listen to the local sports guys try and talk hockey (seems that the Canucks are getting way more attention around here this year than in years past, no doubt due to people trying to forget the Sonics).
Let's try and get a sweep tomorrow so we're on a roll for the Yankees!
