Really ugly game, but a win is a win. And Varitek had his first career grand slam. Red Sox are now 15-5 against the AL Central (13-3 against teams other than the White Sox). Really makes you wonder what the White Sox's record would be if they were in any other division. Hopefully the Red Sox can continue this streak through the weekend, where they play the now-third-place Twins at the Leylu Dallas Metrodome. Also this weekend the Yanks play the BJ's, and could be in third by the end of it. Sadly there will not be a Chacin-Chacon matchup.
Not a great return to the Majors for Roberto Petagine, who went 0-3 with 1 BB, 1 R, and 1 GIDP. For an unbelievably thrilling real-time Petagine play-by-play, click here. Somehow I hadn't realized until this game that it was pronounced "Pet a Genie". If you Google "Pet a genie" you end up here.
"Pet a genie" could rival our naked pictures of Hazel Mae.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if it were pronounced "pet a weenie", we'd have all sorts of scary people visiting this site.
ReplyDeleteListen, the Pet-a-Genie Liveblogging is a subtle beast. The real action is all in the subtext.
ReplyDeleteWould that be the subtext of a grad student in Canada wondering why the hell he's liveblogging every Petagine at-bat and putout? Yeah, that part was pretty awesome, I have to admit.
ReplyDeleteThat 'pet a genie' link is one of the most disturbing things I've seen on the internet. It's not blatantly wrong like Tubgirl or something, but there's a subtle, insidious madness to it that makes it just purely terrifying.
ReplyDeleteIt's better than rub a lamp.
