Tidbits
If you polled 1000 Red Sox fans in and around Boston and asked them “of all the Red Sox which one would you just as soon not have on the team”, I bet 30% of them would say Kim.
Yup, the guy with the career 141 ERA+, better than Clemens.
Only in Boston.
Anyhoo, Curt Schilling and the Sox face Tampa tonight. While Terry Francona decided to skip Tim Wakefield, Lou Piniella will stick with Paul Abbott. Wakefield will start Sunday in Texas.
As for the Red Sox’s injured triumvirate, Kim starts tomorrow for the Sox and yesterday, Nomar took grounders at Fenway and Trot played for the Gulf Coast Sox. Good stuff.
Joe Morgan thinks the Sox are better than the Yanks which is kind of like having a blind guy tell you your haircut looks nice. Not exactly reassuring.
Look for Schill to pitch well tonight - I have a feeling he still may be pissed about last Thursday night’s debacle. Not that one of Curt’s ilk needs to be angry to succeed against the Rays but you get the point.
Enjoy and I will be back with a recap.
