Whaddya Gonna Do?
So faster than I can say “the Red Sox are baseball’s best team”, Ted Lilly twirls the game of his life. To be perfectly honest and especially when you consider that Boston’s lineup is MLB’s best, it was the most masterful performance I have seen since Pedro’s unforgettable September-’99-17K gem. Not much you can do other than tip your cap and move on. His breaking ball was unhittable and he spotted a crisp fastball impeccably all night.
Just 28, I would not be surprised in the least to see Lilly put it together and become one of the league’s best pitchers one of these seasons.
Tonight, Tim Wakefield faces Miguel Batista. Both have fallen a bit short of expectations this season so expect the offense for both teams to make more noise than least evening. Of course, even a whimper from the visitors’ lineup would constitute more noise than last evening…
Oh well.
